Malaria-driven adaptation of MHC class I in wild bonobo populations

Nature Communications, 2023
A variant of MHC class I is protective against severe malaria disease and enriched in affected African populations. Here, Wroblewski et al., characterise the consequences of malaria infection in wild bonobo populations showing that the presence of ...

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3430-3445, October 2026.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Improving the workflow to crack Small, Unbalanced, Noisy, but Genuine (SUNG) datasets in bioacoustics: The case of bonobo calls.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2023
Despite the accumulation of data and studies, deciphering animal vocal communication remains challenging. In most cases, researchers must deal with the sparse recordings composing Small, Unbalanced, Noisy, but Genuine (SUNG) datasets.

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 883-898, October 2026.
Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...

The human semicircular canals orientation is more similar to the bonobos than to the chimpanzees.

PLoS ONE, 2014
For some traits, the human genome is more closely related to either the bonobo or the chimpanzee genome than they are to each other. Therefore, it becomes crucial to understand whether and how morphostructural differences between humans, chimpanzees and ...

Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

Dataset Generation and Bonobo Classification from Weakly Labelled Videos

, 2023
This paper presents a bonobo detection and classification pipeline built from the commonly used machine learning methods. Such application is motivated by the need to test bonobos in their enclosure using touch screen devices without human assistance ...

Becoming a TESOL Practitioner: Disciplinary Languaging and the Socialization of International Students in UK Higher Education

TESOL Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 1447-1470, September 2026.
Abstract This article proposes the concept of disciplinary languaging to account for the regulated forms of communication that are characteristic of TESOL master's preparatory programs in the UK. It does so with a view to the effects on the socialization of international students who are attracted by the global promotion of such programs and the ...

Bonobo anatomy reveals stasis and mosaicism in chimpanzee evolution, and supports bonobos as the most appropriate extant model for the common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans

Scientific Reports, 2017
Common chimps and bonobos are our closest living relatives but almost nothing is known about bonobo internal anatomy. We present the first phylogenetic analysis to include musculoskeletal data obtained from a recent dissection of bonobos.

Co-residence between males and their mothers and grandmothers is more frequent in bonobos than chimpanzees.

PLoS ONE, 2013
In long-lived social mammals such as primates, individuals can benefit from social bonds with close kin, including their mothers. In the patrilocal chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes spp.) and bonobo (Pan paniscus), sexually mature males reside and reproduce in
