Are they different? Investigating the gut microbiome of Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla Beringei) Beringei

open access: yes, 2022
The gastrointestinal microbiomes of different primate species can always be distinguished from one another, a pattern mainly driven by each species' unique diet and environment.

2011 Dahlberg Award Winner: Evaluation of the utility of deciduous molar morphological variation in great ape phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesDental Anthropology, 2013
Non-metric dental traits are well-established tools for anthropologists investigating population affiliation and movement in humans. Nonetheless, similar traits in the great apes have received considerably less attention.

Food-Associated Calling in Gorillas (Gorilla g. gorilla) in the Wild. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Many nonhuman primates produce food-associated vocalizations upon encountering or ingesting particular food. Concerning the great apes, only food-associated vocalizations of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus) have been studied in ...

Geophagia by mountain gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla beringei ) in the Virunga Mountains, Rwanda [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Mountain gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla beringei ) occasionally eat material from weathered regolith (subsoil) sediments in the Virunga Mountains of northwestern Rwanda.

Characteristics of Gorilla-Specific Lactobacillus Isolated from Captive and Wild Gorillas

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2018
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) reside in a wide range of mammals, such as autochthonous intestinal bacteria. In this paper, we present the phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics of gorilla-specific LAB.

Missing Landmark Estimation Using Reverse Engineering: Challenges and Potential Solutions for the Study of Hominin Long Bones

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fragmentary preservation represents a fundamental limitation in palaeoanthropological research, particularly for postcranial elements where symmetry cannot be exploited and large portions of bone are frequently missing. Although a wide range of virtual reconstruction methods exist, many rely on strong anatomical priors, localized interpolation,

Audible Communication Comparison of Western Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and Virunga Mountain Gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei)

open access: yes, 2012
Genetics has revealed that western and eastern gorilla species physically split somewhere between 0.9 and 1.6 million years ago, with a separation of 1,000 km in their present ranges.

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1298-1310, August 2026.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

Simultaneous outbreaks of respiratory disease in wild chimpanzees caused by distinct viruses of human origin

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
Respiratory viruses of human origin infect wild apes across Africa, sometimes lethally. Here we report simultaneous outbreaks of two distinct human respiratory viruses, human metapneumovirus (MPV; Pneumoviridae: Metapneumovirus) and human respirovirus 3 (

Homozygosity Accumulated Through Genetic Drift and Inbreeding Underpins High Mutation Load in an Endangered Beluga Whale Population

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Isolated populations are susceptible to decline through the accumulation of deleterious mutations and inbreeding depression. As a consequence of habitat alteration, isolated populations are also expected to become increasingly prevalent.
