Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate
Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective
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.

Spatiotemporal Patterns of Sleeping Site Use of Guinea Baboon Parties (Papio papio)
Sleeping site selection in animals is thought to be influenced by multiple factors, including resource availability and competition, predation risk, thermoregulation and the risk of parasitic infection.

Leukocyte profiles reveal sex and age differences in immune investment in a polygynous bat
Analysis of over 500 blood cell profiles, including repeat samples over four years, reveals that male bats from a long‐lived species with a polygynous mating system invest more in innate than adaptive immunity. Investment in innate immunity increases with age, as estimated by a DNA methylation clock and mark‐recapture data.

Animal Social Network Structures Across the Fast‐Slow Continuum
Using a mathematical model, we examine how the rate of demographic replacement (represented by generation time) influences emergent social network structure in natural populations. By considering a range of social preferences and modes of social inheritance, we find that demographic replacement influences the extent to which social networks can self ...

ABSTRACT Wildlife captive populations are important tools for threatened species conservation, and early identification of diseases must be prioritized. In this study, we test for the presence of anti‐Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in non‐human primates at a Zoo from Pernambuco State, Brazil.

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...
