Social bonds and genetic ties: Kinship association and affiliation in a community of bonobos (Pan paniscus) [PDF]
, 1999 Studies of captive populations of bonobos suggest that females are more gregarious than males. This seems to contradict assumed sex-differences in kinship deriving from a speciestypical dispersal pattern of female exogamy and male philopatry.

Allee Effects May Slow the Spread of Parasites in a Coastal Marine Ecosystem [PDF]
, 2011 Allee effects are thought to mediate the dynamics of population colonization, particularly for invasive species. However, Allee effects acting on parasites have rarely been considered in the analogous process of infectious disease establishment and ...

Delayed dispersal and the cost and benefits of different routes to independent breeding in a cooperative breeding bird [PDF]
, 2016 Why sexually mature individuals stay in groups as non-reproductive subordinates is central to the evolution of sociality and cooperative breeding. To understand such delayed dispersal, its costs and benefits need to be compared with those of permanently ...

Natal foraging philopatry in eastern Pacific hawksbill turtles [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The complex processes involved with animal migration have long been a subject of biological interest, and broad-scale movement patterns of many marine turtle populations still remain unresolved. While it is widely accepted that once marine turtles reach sexual maturity they home to natal areas for nesting or reproduction, the role of ...

Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers [PDF]
, 2017 About 100 km east of Rome, in the central Apennine Mountains, a critically endangered population of ∼50 brown bears live in complete isolation. Mating outside this population is prevented by several 100 km of bear-free territories.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Autumn Migration of Mississippi Flyway Mallards as Determined by Satellite Telemetry [PDF]
, 2012 We used satellite telemetry to study autumn migration timing, routes, stopover duration, and final destinations of mallards Anas platyrhynchos captured the previous spring in Arkansas from 2004 to 2007.

Host-pathogen evolutionary signatures reveal dynamics and future invasions of vampire bat rabies [PDF]
, 2016 Anticipating how epidemics will spread across landscapes requires understanding host dispersal events that are notoriously difficult to measure. Here, we contrast host and virus genetic signatures to resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics underlying ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.
