Development of 79 SNP markers to individually genotype and sex-type endangered mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei)

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2021
The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of two endangered subspecies of eastern gorilla. The principle approach to monitoring the two extant mountain gorilla populations has been to use fecal surveys to obtain DNA profiles for individuals

Meat Acquisition Skill and Male Reproductive Success in Guinea Baboons

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives In human foraging societies, hunting skill is often interpreted as a signal of male quality linked to reproductive success through his ability to provision his family and community. Similarly, in some bird and insect species, males offer mates food to indicate their quality as a provider.

Cumulative Early‐Life Adversities Predict Short‐ and Long‐Term Survival in a Critically Endangered Lemur (Propithecus verreauxi)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Infant survival of wild Verreaux's sifakas was impacted by different cumulative indices of early adversities. Of the single factors, maternal loss, large group size and the absence of an older sibling decreased the odds of survival across the lifespan. Adversities early in life have persistent negative long‐term effects on survival.

Variation in body size growth trajectories between ecologically distinct mountain gorilla populations.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Body size is a fundamental feature of an organism's biology, and studies of body size growth can yield insights into factors that shape evolutionary change within and between species.

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1298-1310, August 2026.
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.

Space partitioning in wild, non-territorial mountain gorillas: the impact of food and neighbours [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
In territorial species, the distribution of neighbours and food abundance play a crucial role in space use patterns but less is known about how and when neighbours use shared areas in non-territorial species.

Rethinking Spatial Prioritisation for Primate Conservation in an Unprotected Intact Forest Landscape in the Gulf of Guinea

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 364-378, August 2026.
This study highlights the importance of the unprotected Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area, Cameroon, for primate conservation in the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot. We modelled primate distribution patterns and found that historically overlooked parts of the landscape have high species richness and are critical for some threatened species.

Leadership Under Risk: Male Vervet Monkeys' (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) Roles in Group Progression Across Potentially High‐Risk Terrain

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 544-556, August 2026.
Male vervet monkeys were more likely to lead group progressions than females or juveniles, especially during potentially riskier crossing situations, i.e., rivers. Dominant males who had not yet sired offspring were the most likely to lead progressions.
