Dietary variability of western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Spatial and temporal variability in the availability of food resources will lead to variation in a species' diet, which can then influence patterns of space use, sociality, and life history characteristics.

Deciphering Gorilla gorilla gorilla immunoglobulin loci in multiple genome assemblies and enrichment of IMGT resources [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyThrough the analysis of immunoglobulin genes at the IGH, IGK, and IGL loci from four Gorilla gorilla gorilla genome assemblies, IMGT® provides an in-depth overview of these loci and their individual variations in a species closely related to humans.

Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of plants consumed by western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Gabon. [PDF]
PLoS ONEZoopharmacognosy is the study of the self-medication behaviors of non-human animals that use plant, animal or soil items as remedies. Recent studies have shown that some of the plants employed by animals may also be used for the same therapeutic purposes

Matching based on biological categories in Orangutans (Pongo abelii) and a Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Following a series of experiments in which six orangutans and one gorilla discriminated photographs of different animal species in a two-choice touch screen procedure, Vonk & MacDonald (2002) and Vonk & MacDonald (2004) concluded that orangutans, but not

Rapid transmission of respiratory infections within but not between mountain gorilla groups
Scientific Reports, 2021 Minimizing disease transmission between humans and wild apes and controlling outbreaks in ape populations is vital to both ape conservation and human health, but information on the transmission of real infections in wild populations is rare.

Social groups buffer maternal loss in mountain gorillas
eLife, 2021 Mothers are crucial for mammals’ survival before nutritional independence, but many social mammals reside with their mothers long after. In these species the social adversity caused by maternal loss later in life can dramatically reduce fitness. However,

Projecting the impact of an ebola virus outbreak on endangered mountain gorillas
Scientific Reports, 2023 Ebola virus is highly lethal for great apes. Estimated mortality rates up to 98% have reduced the global gorilla population by approximately one-third.
