Social environment elicits lateralized behaviors in Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) [PDF]

, 2014
The influence of the social environment on lateralized behaviors has now been investigated across a wide variety of animal species. New evidence suggests that the social environment can modulate behavior. Currently, there is a paucity of data relating to

Lethal combats in the forest among wild western gorillas

iScience
Summary: Lethal intergroup encounters occur in many species because of sexual selection. While documented in mountain gorillas, they are absent in western gorillas as, instead, it is predicted by their higher feeding (frugivory) and mate competition ...

Community health and human-animal contacts on the edges of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Cross-species transmission of pathogens is intimately linked to human and environmental health. With limited healthcare and challenging living conditions, people living in poverty may be particularly susceptible to endemic and emerging diseases ...

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

Molecular 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.

Comparative Oligo‐FISH Mapping Illuminates Chromosomal Evolution Among Rutaceae Species Diverged Over 50 Million Years

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
Oligonucleotide‐based fluorescence in situ hybridization probes were developed in the model citrus species Citrus maxima. These probes were applied to comparative karyotyping across 14 species in the Rutaceae family. This analysis revealed chromosomal evolution in lineages that diverged from Citrus nearly 52 million years ago.

Introduction: The Political Economy of Tourism

The Political Quarterly, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 367-372, July/September 2026.
Abstract Tourism is one of the fastest‐growing internationally traded service industries. The articles in this special collection examine the circumstances under which it can act as a driver of sustainable, equitably shared growth. The introduction argues that tourism offers a promising path to regional development—not only in southern Europe and the ...

Treeline Provides a Unified Strategy for Optimising Phylogenetic Trees Under Alternative Criteria

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The choice of optimality criterion is a key consideration in phylogenetic studies. Recent work challenges the notion that more computationally demanding optimisation objectives result in better phylogenetic trees. This finding underscores the importance of comparing trees across optimisation objectives in addition to different models of ...

Laterality in the gestural communication of wild chimpanzees [PDF]

, 2013
e examined hand preference in the intentional gestural communication of wild chimpanzees in the Budongo forest, Uganda. Individuals showed some tendency to be lateralized, although less than has been reported for begging and pointing gestures in ...
