Behavioral responses around conspecific corpses in adult eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei spp.) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Humans were once considered unique in having a concept of death but a growing number of observations of animal responses to dying and dead conspecifics suggests otherwise.

Genotyping Contemporary Captive and Historical Wild Western Lowland Gorillas Indicates Captive Breeding Is Maintaining Genetic Diversity in a Critically Endangered Primate

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

Viability analysis for population reinforcement of Grauer's gorillas at Mount Tshiaberimu, Democratic Republic of Congo

, 2023
Reintroduction and translocation programs have been sparingly used for the management of endangered primate populations. Mount Tshiaberimu in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) contains 6 Grauer's gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri) with only

Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

A genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using reduced representation sequencing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
All non-human great apes are endangered in the wild, and it is therefore important to gain an understanding of their demography and genetic diversity. Whole genome assembly projects have provided an invaluable foundation for understanding genetics in all

Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

Ethology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

Flexible changes in mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) ranging patterns in response to snare encounters

Global Ecology and Conservation
Human activities, including hunting within protected areas, are reshaping the spatiotemporal behavior of wildlife by creating anthropogenic landscapes of fear. In nonhuman primates, these landscapes can drive flexible alterations in movement that reflect
