Camera traps bring you closer to the secretive natural world and are an important conservation tool to study wildlife. This week we’re meeting a primate with whom we share 94 % of our DNA: the olive ...

Four primates could hold the key to saving thousands of lives across the globe. Each of these Anubis baboons was the recipient of a new heart, courtesy of an international team of researchers. With ...

For roughly six months, fully functioning pig hearts beat inside the chests of two Anubis baboons. Genetic modifications to the pig hearts along with a new transplant technique are credited with the ...

Yellow baboons have yellow-brown fur with white cheeks and undersides. Anubis baboons have greenish-grey fur and males with shaggy manes around their heads. Although they are distinct species that ...

PARIS — Sibling rivalry isn’t just a problem for humans — young baboons also compete for their mother’s attention, scientists said on Wednesday. The scenario is familiar for many parents: just when ...

New genetic analyses of wild baboons in southern Kenya reveals that most of them carry traces of hybridization in their DNA. As a result of interbreeding, about a third of their genetic makeup ...

Recent studies suggest that closely related species can develop significant genetic and phenotypic differences throughout their evolution despite ongoing gene flow. The findings challenge the ...

Rapidly increasing efforts to generate whole genome sequences for many vertebrate species are providing a significantly improved understanding of the biological differences among animals across the ...

Genetic analyses of baboons in Kenya reveals that most of them carry traces of hybridization in their DNA. As a result of interbreeding, about a third of their genetic makeup consists of genes from ...
