    Recombinant origin and interspecies transmission of a HERV-K(HML-2)-related primate retrovirus with a novel RNA transport element

    Zachary H Williams, Alvaro Dafonte Imedio ... Welkin E Johnson
    The genetic 'fossil record' of a retroviral lineage over >25 million years of evolution reveals the profound consequences of an ancient recombination event on viral replication mechanisms and genome structure, and identifies an ancient interspecies viral transmission.

  6. Episode 91: February 2024

    In this episode, we hear about what orangutans can tell us about the origins of human speech, the challenges of being dyslexic in an academic environment, changing tunes in fin whales, ancient botanical drugs and alternative career paths of science graduates.

    Oxygen isotopes in orangutan teeth reveal recent and ancient climate variation

    Tanya M Smith, Manish Arora ... Daniel R Green
    A new high-resolution approach to probing tooth chemistry shows real potential to uncover changing rainfall patterns and environmental conditions during human prehistory.

    Recursive self-embedded vocal motifs in wild orangutans

    Adriano R Lameira, Madeleine E Hardus ... Marco Gamba
    Wild male orangutans produce long calls composed of two hierarchical layers, wherein isochronous sub-pulses occur within isochronous pulses, indicating that recursive vocal combinatorics are not exclusive to language among hominids.
