A Robotic Assistant for Disabled Chess Players in Competitive Games
Access to regular sports competitions is often precluded for disabled people. Chess, which has been recognized as a sport by the International Olympic Committee in 1999, is a rare exception. Nevertheless, to compete in official tournaments, people suffering from a high level of motor impairment must rely on the assistance of a person to move their pieces on the chessboard, under their indications. This can result in a reduction of the feeling of …

Overcoming Challenges to Extracting and Sequencing Historical DNA to Support Primate Evolutionary Research and Conservation, with an Application to Galagos
Introduction to the Special Issue on What They Do in the Shadows
Among continental Africa’s endemic primates, the bushbabies or galagos (family Galagidae, or Galonigidae, Groves, 2001) have been described as the most successful radiation of strepsirrhine primates in terms of species diversity and geographic range (Fleagle, 2013; Nekaris & Bearder, 2011). Currently, more than two dozen species have been named across six genera (Penna & Pozzi, 2024). All members of this clade are nocturnal (Bearder, 1999), in co…
Assessing Ecological Divergence and Speciation Scenarios of the Paragalago zanzibaricus Species Complex Through Climatic Niche Modeling
In Memory of Judith Masters and Fabien Génin
Rocks and clocks revised
In recent years, multiple technological and methodological advances have increased our ability to estimate phylogenies, leading to more accurate dating of the primate tree of life. Here we provide an overview of the limitations and potentials of some of these advancements and discuss how dated phylogenies provide the crucial temporal scale required to understand primate evolution. First, we review new methods, such as the total‐evidence dating ap…
Evidence of genetic monogamy in the lemur Indri ( Indri indri )
Monogamy is a rare strategy among mammals but relatively common among primates. The study of the evolution of monogamy in mammals and primates is lacking empirical studies that assess the relationship between a pair‐living social organization and genetic monogamy. Sexual or genetic monogamy can only be assessed by performing molecular analyses and investigating rates of extra‐pair paternity (EPP). Studying the occurrence of EPP can provide valuab…
The Use (and Misuse) of Phylogenetic Trees in Comparative Behavioral Analyses
A New Method for Genome-wide Marker Development and Genotyping Holds Great Promise for Molecular Primatology
The stem catarrhine Saadanius does not inform the timing of the origin of crown catarrhines
The use of Artificial Neural Networks to classify primate vocalizations
The identification of the vocal repertoire of a species represents a crucial prerequisite for a correct interpretation of animal behavior. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been widely used in behavioral sciences, and today are considered a valuable classification tool for reducing the level of subjectivity and allowing replicable results across different studies. However, to date, no studies have applied this tool to nonhuman primate vocali…
Phylogenetic relationships among the Lorisoidea as indicated by craniodental morphology and mitochondrial sequence data
The phylogeny of the Afro‐Asian Lorisoidea is controversial. While postcranial data attest strongly to the monophyly of the Lorisidae, most molecular analyses portray them as paraphyletic and group the Galagidae alternately with the Asian or African lorisids. One of the problems that has bedevilled phylogenetic analysis of the group in the past is the limited number of taxa sampled for both ingroup families. We present the results of a series of …
