Evolution and demography of the great apes
The great apes are the closest living relatives of humans. Chimpanzees and bonobos group
together with humans, while gorillas and orangutans are more divergent from humans. Here …

The slow ape: High infant survival and long interbirth intervals in wild orangutans
Orangutans (Pongo spp.) are reported to have extremely slow life histories, including the
longest average interbirth intervals of all mammals. Such slow life history can be viable only …

Land-cover changes predict steep declines for the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii)
Positive news about Sumatran orangutans is rare. The species is critically endangered
because of forest loss and poaching, and therefore, determining the impact of future land …

Tandem repeat variation in human and great ape populations and its impact on gene expression divergence
TB Sonay, T Carvalho, MD Robinson… - Genome …, 2015 - genome.cshlp.org
Tandem repeats (TRs) are stretches of DNA that are highly variable in length and mutate
rapidly. They are thus an important source of genetic variation. This variation is highly …
