Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Local Ecological Knowledge Reveals the Distribution of Cryptic Nocturnal Wildlife 局域生态知识揭示隐秘夜行野生动物的分布

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

The uniqueness of the human brain: a review [PDF]

Dementia & Neuropsychologia
The purpose of this review is to highlight the most important aspects of the anatomical and functional uniqueness of the human brain. For this, a comparison is made between our brains and those of our closest ancestors (chimpanzees and bonobos) and human

Social Exchange and Reciprocal Integration Between Migrants and Locals at Work

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Workplaces are pivotal “contact zones” where migrants and locals negotiate access to jobs, resources, and recognition, yet HRM research has rarely examined how everyday encounters generate integrated relationships at work. This conceptual paper introduces reciprocal integration as a workplace‐anchored social exchange process: the emergent ...

Habitat differentiation among three Nigeria–Cameroon chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes ellioti) populations

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are often used to predict species distribution patterns from datasets that describe abiotic and biotic factors at coarse spatial scales.

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of integrating PAM with BirdNET, a convolutional neural network originally developed for avian vocalization detection, to monitor two critically endangered lemurs, Indri indri and Varecia variegata, in Madagascar's Maromizaha rainforest.

Dogs (Canis familiaris), but not chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), understand imperative pointing.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Chimpanzees routinely follow the gaze of humans to outside targets. However, in most studies using object choice they fail to use communicative gestures (e.g. pointing) to find hidden food.

Seasonal Dynamics of Community and Function of Gut Microbiome in Taihangshan Macaque (Macaca mulatta tcheliensis): Inferred From Metagenomic Data

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A total of 435 non‐redundant metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs) were obtained from fecal samples of Taihangshan macaque across all four seasons. The alpha diversity of the gut microbiome in spring and winter was significantly higher than in summer and autumn. Furthermore, marked differences were detected in functional pathways and carbohydrate enzymes

Why Are Nigeria-Cameroon Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes ellioti) Free of SIVcpz Infection?

PLoS ONE, 2016
Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) naturally infects two subspecies of chimpanzee: Pan troglodytes troglodytes from Central Africa (SIVcpzPtt) and P. t. schweinfurtii from East Africa (SIVcpzPts), but is absent in P. t.

Comparing morphological integration patterns across groups using angular distances between PLS covariation axes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Morphological integration describes coordinated covariation among traits arising from shared developmental, functional, or genetic interactions and plays an important role in shaping evolutionary trajectories. In geometric morphometrics, two‐block partial least squares (PLS) analysis is widely used to identify dominant axes of covariation ...
