Promoting Equitable Research Partnerships in Primatology (2024)
Journal Article
Setchell, J. M., Bicca-Marques, J. C., Guo, S., Robinson, C. A. J., Kessler, S. E., Mekonnen, A., & Razafindratsima, O. H. (online). Promoting Equitable Research Partnerships in Primatology. International Journal of Primatology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10764-024-00463-1

Like other sciences, primatology has its roots in colonial endeavors (Harraway, 1989; Hobaiter et al., 2021; Lappan et al., 2021; Rodrigues et al., 2022). In this editorial we briefly review ongoing colonial attitudes in primatology, including exploi... Read More about Promoting Equitable Research Partnerships in Primatology.

Étudier les primates: Comment concevoir, mener et présenter des recherches en primatologie (2024)
Book
Setchell, J. (2024). Étudier les primates: Comment concevoir, mener et présenter des recherches en primatologie. NoLedge

La primatologie s’appuie sur des théories et des méthodes issues de divers domaines, tels que l’anatomie, l’anthropologie, la biologie, l’écologie, la médecine, la psychologie, les sciences vétérinaires et la zoologie. Il y a plus de cinq cents espèc... Read More about Étudier les primates: Comment concevoir, mener et présenter des recherches en primatologie.

Tropical field stations yield high conservation return on investment (2024)
Journal Article
Eppley, T. M., Reuter, K. E., Sefczek, T. M., Tinsman, J., Santini, L., Hoeks, S., …Mittermeier, R. A. (2024). Tropical field stations yield high conservation return on investment. Conservation Letters, 17(2), Article e13007. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.13007

Conservation funding is currently limited; cost‐effective conservation solutions are essential. We suggest that the thousands of field stations worldwide can play key roles at the frontline of biodiversity conservation and have high intrinsic value....

Successful acclimatization of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) translocated to Conkouati-Douli National Park, Republic of Congo, as measured by fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (2023)
Journal Article
Woodruff, M. C., Atencia, R., Cox, D., Woodruff, G. T., Wheaton, C. J., Lavin, S. R., & Setchell, J. M. (2023). Successful acclimatization of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) translocated to Conkouati-Douli National Park, Republic of Congo, as measured by fecal glucocorticoid metabolites. Conservation Physiology, 11(1), Article coad025. https://doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coad025

Translocation and reintroduction are common tools in conservation management and can be very successful. However, translocation can be stressful for the animals involved, and stress is implicated as a major cause of failure in release programs. Conse...

Mental health and well‐being in primatology: Breaking the taboos (2023)
Journal Article
Setchell, J. M., Unwin, S., & Cheyne, S. M. (2023). Mental health and well‐being in primatology: Breaking the taboos. Evolutionary Anthropology, https://doi.org/10.1002/evan.21984

We hope to raise awareness of mental health and well-being among primatologists. With this aim in mind, we organized a workshop on mental health as part of the main program of the Winter meeting of the Primate Society of Great Britain in December 202...

Identification of potentially zoonotic parasites in captive orangutans and semi-captive mandrills: phylogeny and morphological comparison (2023)
Journal Article
Nosková, E., Modrý, D., Baláž, V., Červená, B., Jirků-Pomajbíková, K., Zechmeisterová, K., …Pafčo, B. (2023). Identification of potentially zoonotic parasites in captive orangutans and semi-captive mandrills: phylogeny and morphological comparison. American Journal of Primatology, 85(4), Article e23475. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23475

Cysts and trophozoites of vestibuliferid ciliates and larvae of Strongyloides were found in fecal samples from captive orangutans Pongo pygmaeus and P. abelii from Czech and Slovak zoological gardens. As comparative material, ciliates from semi-capti...

Chemical cues of identity and reproductive status in Japanese macaques (2022)
Journal Article
Rigaill, L., Vaglio, S., Setchell, J. M., Suda‐Hashimoto, N., Furuichi, T., & Garcia, C. (2022). Chemical cues of identity and reproductive status in Japanese macaques. American Journal of Primatology, 84(8), Article e23411. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23411

Olfactory communication plays an important role in the regulation of socio-sexual interactions in mammals. There is growing evidence that both human and nonhuman primates rely on odors to inform their mating decisions. Nevertheless, studies of primat...

Preliminary assessment of gastrointestinal parasites of the sun-tailed monkey (Allochrocebus solatus) in a semi-free-ranging colony (2022)
Journal Article
Dibakou, S., Ngoubangoye, B., Boundenga, L., Ntie, S., Moussadji, C., Tsoumbou, T., & Setchell, J. M. (2022).

Background: The occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in the sun-tailed monkey (Allochrocebus solatus) at the CIRMF primatology center is unknown. We, therefore, assessed the presence and richness (number of different parasite taxa) of gastrointes...
