TL;DR: A proposed standard protocol for describing IBMs and ABMs, developed and tested by 28 modellers who cover a wide range of fields within ecology, and considered as a first step for establishing a more detailed common format of the description of IBm and ABM.

TL;DR: The results suggest that conventional conservation efforts prevented a severe decline of the overall population, but additional extreme measures were needed to achieve positive growth and argue for wider consideration of extreme measures.

TL;DR: Age-related patterns seem most likely to reflect changes in the physical condition of the mother, but more detailed studies are needed to quantify those physical differences, and to obtain behavioral evidence that would provide more direct measures of maternal investment and experience.

TL;DR: Overall, the socioecological factors accounted for a relatively small portion of the variance in FRS, as expected for a species that feeds on abundant, evenly distributed foliage.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the dominance relationships of female mountain gorilla are best characterized as ‘Dispersal-Individualistic’ instead of the previously suggested ‘Egalitarian’, which fit within growing evidence for linear individualistic hierarchies in some primates.
