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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation times in wild chimpanzees and gorillas suggest earlier divergence times in great ape and human evolution

TL;DR: The human–chimpanzee split is dated to at least 7–8 million years and the population split between Neanderthals and modern humans to 400,000–800,000 y ago, which suggests that molecular divergence dates may not be in conflict with the attribution of 6- to 7-million-y-old fossils to the human lineage and 400,,000-Y-old bones to the Neanderthal lineage.

TL;DR: It is shown that chimpanzees exhibit greater behavioural diversity in environments with more variability — in both recent and historical timescales, suggesting that environmental variability was a critical evolutionary force promoting the behavioural, as well as cultural diversification of great apes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the amount of genomic DNA extracted from ape faeces and the identification of an improved sample storage method.

TL;DR: There was a small negative correlation between temperature at time of collection and the amount of DNA obtained, but significantly higher amounts of DNA were obtained using a novel protocol that combines a short period of storage in ethanol with subsequent desiccation using silica.
Journal ArticleDOI
A demographic analysis of male life history and social structure of mountain gorillas
TL;DR: Demographic constraints, such as length of time to male maturation, coupled with intense male-male competition for mates may limit the number and duration of groups with a multimale structure.
