Prevalence of SARS‐CoV2 in Communities Surrounding Bwindi–Mgahinga Mountain Gorilla Conservation Area, Uganda

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
COVID‐19 threatens endangered mountain gorilla populations due to close human contact. A cross‐sectional study (n = 576) in communities around Bwindi–Mgahinga Conservation Area found 8.0% prevalence of SARS‐CoV2. Frequent handwashing was a predictor for reduced prevalence of SARS‐CoV2. Strengthening prevention measures is critical to limit transmission

Sociability Under Anthropogenic Change: From Individual Behaviour to Population‐Level Consequences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our review synthesises empirical and theoretical research on how anthropogenic environmental change reshapes animal social behaviour from individuals to populations. We use sociability as an individual‐level lens, distinguishing context‐dependent expression from repeatable interindividual differences and linking both to social relationships, network ...
