Monkey beetles on the beat: urban monkey beetles reveal opportunities for pollinator habitat management in a South African city
… gap. Its ought to do so by investigating urban monkey beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Hopliini) in two ways. Firstly, it relates Hopliini community structure to urban environmental gradients and local habitat composition. This was achieved by using pan traps to sample pollinators at 145 sites …

Competition between visual stimuli in the monkey parietal cortex
… We manipulate the cognitive state of the monkey by changing his expected reward and show that the activity, reliability, and noise correlation are affected by the context of the monkeys' choice. Finally, we demonstrate how behavioral variables such as the monkeys' performance and saccade …

Forest stucture and group density of Thomas' langur monkey, Presbytis thomasi.
Tropical forests contain a substantial portion of global biodiversity, and provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Anthropogenic activities such as logging and agriculture alter the physical structure of forests and thus impact arboreal primates through altered availability of food and suitable …

Inbreeding Depression and Competition in the square-stemmed monkey-flower (Mimulus ringens)
Matings between biologically related individuals often produce offspring with reduced fitness, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. The magnitude of inbreeding depression can play an important role in determining the overall fitness, and persistence, of populations, and is often considered …
