A Follow-up Geospatial Analysis and Probabilistic Human Health Risk Assessment of Methylmercury in Fish in Eeyou Istchee (Québec, Canada)

Author(s): Krupa A; Turner SE; Liberda EN; Tsuji LJS; Moriarity RJ;

The Cree Peoples of the Eeyou Istchee territory (northern Québec, Canada) rely on fish as a part of their traditional and contemporary diet. Fish is a culturally significant food and a source of nutrients, but it is also the main pathway of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure for humans. Significant hydroelectric developments in this territory are responsible f ...

Primates and disability: Behavioral flexibility and implications for resilience to environmental change

Author(s): Stewart BM; Joyce MM; Creeggan J; Eccles S; Gerwing MG; Turner SE;

Congenital malformations, conditions, injuries, and illness can lead to long-term physical impairment and disability in nonhuman primates. How individual primates change their behaviors flexibly to compensate for their disabilities can inform our understanding of their resilience and ability to adjust to environmental change. Here, we synthesize the liter ...

No food left behind: foraging route choices among free-ranging Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in a multi-destination array at the Awajishima Monkey Center, Japan

Author(s): Joyce MM; Teichroeb JA; Kaigaishi Y; Stewart BM; Yamada K; Turner SE;

Animals must make route choices every day when moving through their habitat while foraging. Choosing an optimal route can be cognitively costly, and primates and other animals have been shown to use simple heuristics, "rules of thumb", to make foraging route choices. We investigated the potential use of heuristics among foraging free-ranging Japanese monk ...

Mothers of disabled infants had higher cortisol levels in a free-ranging group of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)

Author(s): Turner SE; Fedigan LM; Joyce MM; Matthews HD; Moriarity RJ; Nobuhara H; Nobuhara T; Stewart BM; Shimizu K;

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are hormones released in response to stressors and can provide insight into an organism's physiological well-being. Experiencing chronic challenges to homeostasis is associated with significant deviations from baseline fecal GCs (fGCs) in many species, providing a noninv ...
