Some species of primates feature fungi prominently in their diets, in terms of food budget or fungal diversity. Most primate species, however, are observed feeding on a general category of mushrooms for a minority of time feeding and the level of detail in reporting varies widely. In this report, we address this gap, describing fungi eaten by free-ranging baboons (Papio ursinus) in Nature's Valley, South Africa. During routine behavioral observations between August 2023 and July 2025, baboons of multiple age/sex classes in Nature's Valley, South Africa, were recorded eating 13 different fungi. We identified 10 of these 13 fungi to the species level using their physical characteristics. We then assessed overlap with other reported fungal species eaten by primates as well as potential health and ecosystem implications of consumption of these fungi based on human and other mammalian mycophagy literature. Our findings suggest fungal consumption may be underestimated in some cases, but, more importantly, even when fungi are a small portion of the diet or consumed rarely, they may still play an important role that warrants deeper investigation.","PeriodicalId":7662,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Primatology","volume":"88 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13071124/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147669787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the impact of human activity on the gut virome of mammals remains poorly understood. This study investigated the gut viromes of Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana), a primate species endemic to China, under three distinct human-influenced environments (wild, semi-provisioned, and captive) using metagenomic sequencing. Our results revealed that semi-provisioned macaques supported the highest viral diversity, while captive and wild groups exhibited lower diversity, with distinct functional shifts among groups. Furthermore, the co-variation and highly coupled KEGG functional profiles between viral and bacterial communities suggest they function as an integrated synergistic network, where changes in one directly impact the metabolic output of the other. Co-occurrence network analysis further demonstrated that the virus-bacterium interaction network in the captive group was the most fragile, with a structure indicative of a high risk of micro-ecosystem imbalance. Microbial system imbalance is characterized by alterations in both community composition and function, resulting in diminished resilience and stability, which may ultimately compromise host intestinal health. Our results demonstrate that captivity and provisioning drive divergence in the Tibetan macaque gut virome. The fragile, skewed networks in captive individuals highlight a potential cost to microbial health, which may underlie broader health and adaptation risks such as heightened pathogen susceptibility and diminished capacity to cope with environmental perturbations. Thus, monitoring the virome offers a novel early-warning system, informing strategies to enhance welfare and conservation outcomes.</div>","PeriodicalId":7662,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Primatology","volume":"88 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147643619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, accurately assessing animal emotions is challenging due to their multifaceted nature and the need for multimodal approaches. This study investigates the effect of maternal status (mothers vs. females without dependent offspring), sex, and species on the emotional reactivity of two macaque species (long-tailed and rhesus macaques) confronted with a threatening situation. Using a non-invasive and multidimensional approach, we collected data on their behavior, facial temperature changes, and vocal reactivity during a predator exposure. We show that mothers produced a stronger initial physiological response, that is, a decrease in the nose tip temperature, whereas males and non-mothers showed a stronger behavioral response, with an increase in stress-related behaviors 10 min after exposure. Vocal behavior, however, did not differ across groups or species. Long-tailed macaques had a stronger initial physiological response and showed more stress-related behaviors at the beginning of the experiment than rhesus, while rhesus macaques showed more stress-related behaviors at the end. While mothers showed a stronger internal physiological response, non-mothers and males may be in a position to afford stronger behavioral reactions. Long-tailed macaques seem to respond faster to threats than rhesus macaques, which is in line with them being more vulnerable to predators. In conclusion, our study shows that emotional responses to a potential danger differ across maternal status, sex, and species, and concurrently highlights the importance of a multidimensional approach when studying such differences.","PeriodicalId":7662,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Primatology","volume":"88 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajp.70143","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147626851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the spatial ecology of resident wildlife is essential for addressing the conservation challenges posed in such environments, particularly for lesser-studied primate species in Pakistan. The study area lies within rugged terrain, which is highly vulnerable to climate change. Here, we present the first integrated assessment of habitat suitability and the identification of conflict risk hotspots for the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) in the Hindu Raj Mountains of Swat, Pakistan. Species distribution modeling marked the key hotspot areas of suitable habitat and conflict-prone sites. The models achieved high predictive performance (habitat suitability model AUC = 0.96, TSS = 0.80; conflict model AUC = 0.93, TSS = 0.81). Annual mean temperature, temperature range, precipitation of the driest month, and forest cover were the strongest drivers of habitat suitability. Suitable habitat covered 1571 km² (29.3% of the study area), concentrated in mid-elevation forest-agriculture mosaics. Areas highly suitable for human–macaque conflict were primarily concentrated where suitable habitats overlapped with dense human presence, particularly in Matta (29.3% conflict-prone), Khwazakhela (24.2%), and Charbagh (18.5%). The global human modification index and proximity to human settlements were strong predictors of conflict risk. Our findings provide a spatially explicit framework for prioritizing conservation and management interventions. We highlight the need for eco-friendly, non-lethal preventive measures to promote sustainable human–macaque coexistence in the Hindu Raj Mountains.</div>","PeriodicalId":7662,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Primatology","volume":"88 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147607751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A literature review, along with an informal survey and focus group involving individuals at the National Primate Research Centers and affiliated institutions, provides logistical information relevant to the selection of substrates, their respective advantages and disadvantages, and strategies for successfully arguing for, implementing, or expanding their use. In addition, complex substrates have been utilized successfully in many lines of basic research, have the potential to contribute to others, and will likely improve the quality of primates as a research model.

However, most research has focused on assessing the effects of forest patch size on presence-absence data rather than how landscape attributes can shape population density. Numerous studies have presented data on Alouatta caraya (A. caraya) populations across their distribution, revealing variation in population densities among sites. Although there are hypotheses to explain why population density varies, the ecological factors influencing such variation remain poorly understood. We aim to explore the effects of landscape attributes, climatic and ecological variables in A. caraya population density throughout its southern range. We gathered a database of population data of A. caraya, and tested the effects of landscape attributes, land-use, temperature, precipitation, seasonality, elevation, and presence of sympatric species on the population density using generalized linear models. Total forest cover and landscape configuration were the most influential predictors of A. caraya density, while the presence of other species had a low but non-significant effect, and land-use and climatic variables had a weaker or no effect. Overall, howler density increases in landscapes when there is a larger number of patches of forest mixed with a heterogeneous matrix. These results support the assumptions that ecologically flexible species may positively respond to forest fragmentation, highlighting the conservation value that small patches can have for some species. As A. caraya is a forest-dependent species, conservation efforts should prioritize maintaining and enhancing patch connectivity to ensure the long-term persistence of their populations.","PeriodicalId":7662,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Primatology","volume":"88 4","pages":"e70155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147721296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
