Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

A novel adenovirus of Western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)

Virology Journal, 2010
Adenoviruses (AdV) broadly infect vertebrate hosts including a variety of primates. We identified a novel AdV in the feces of captive gorillas by isolation in cell culture, electron microscopy and PCR.

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes. [PDF]

J Anat
Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...

Theoretical Analysis of Androstenone Adsorption on Chimpanzee and Gorilla Olfactory Receptors (G‐Protein): Statistical Physics Modeling, Molecular Docking Simulation, and Thermodynamic Investigation

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An advanced theory based on statistical physics was applied to microscopically investigate androstenone adsorption and its relationship with olfactory perception in chimpanzees and gorillas. For this purpose, dose–response curves of androstenone on olfactory receptors of chimpanzee OR7D4 and gorilla OR7D4 were analyzed by statistical physics ...

Incidental Acquisition of Multiword Expressions Through Repeated Viewing: Sequential Use of L1 and L2 Captions

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Repeated viewing is reportedly a common learning and pedagogical strategy among autonomous second language (L2) learners and language teachers. This experimental study examined the extent to which sequential captioning use facilitates the acquisition of multiword expressions (MWEs) through repeated viewing under incidental learning conditions.

Viability analysis for population reinforcement of Grauer's gorillas at Mount Tshiaberimu, Democratic Republic of Congo

, 2023
Reintroduction and translocation programs have been sparingly used for the management of endangered primate populations. Mount Tshiaberimu in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) contains 6 Grauer's gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri) with only

Handwritten Versus Typed Notes: The Impact of Note‐Taking Modes in Second Language Listening Tests

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Technological advancements have influenced note‐taking practices in classrooms as well as their treatment in standardized language assessments. Many high‐stakes English listening tests (e.g., TOEFL iBT, IELTS) include varying note‐taking guidelines, often established without empirical support.
