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

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]
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 ...

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

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,

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective
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.

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 (

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.
