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 Immunology
Through 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 ONE
Zoopharmacognosy 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

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.

What over 1,000,000 participants tell us about online research protocols

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023
With the ever-increasing adoption of tools for online research, for the first time we have visibility on macro-level trends in research that were previously unattainable.

Status of African authorship among conservation research output from sub‐Saharan Africa: An African perspective

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
The effectiveness of science to address conservation issues is linked to the inclusivity and diversity of its practitioners, but scientists from biodiverse tropical countries remain underrepresented in the conservation science literature.

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,

Heterogeneity in patterns of helminth infections across populations of mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Conservation efforts have led to the recovery of the endangered mountain gorilla populations. Due to their limited potential for spatial expansion, population densities increased, which may alter the epidemiology of infectious diseases.

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.

Diversity and diel activity patterns of terrestrial mammals in the Nkuba Conservation Area, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Oryx, 2023
The Congo basin forests have vast conservation potential but because of their inaccessibility and periodic insecurity there is little formal protection or ecological research occurring there. Community-based conservation efforts in the unprotected forest
