Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic inference of group dynamics and female kin structure in a western lowland gorilla population ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla )
TL;DR: The utility of genetic analysis as a way to track individuals, groups and population dynamics on a larger scale than when monitoring the behaviour of a limited number of habituated groups or through one-time genetic sampling is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term group membership and dynamics in a wild western lowland gorilla population (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) inferred using non-invasive genetics.
Laura Hagemann,Christophe Boesch,Martha M. Robbins,Mimi Arandjelovic,Tobias Deschner,Matthew Lewis,Graden Froese,Linda Vigilant +7 more
TL;DR: Non‐invasive genetic samples collected within an approximately 100 km2 area of Loango National Park, Gabon are used to reconstruct group compositions and changes in composition over more than a decade and highlight the variation in composition and stability among groups of western lowland gorillas.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A very low diversification of T. abrassarti is found in chimpanzees across Africa, which may point to the presence of an ancestral Type II found throughout the Lower Guinean rainforest dating back to the common Pan ancestor, or imply a historical overlap of the species' distribution ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Audience effects, but not environmental influences, explain variation in gorilla close distance vocalizations—A test of the acoustic adaptation hypothesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used focal animal sampling to study the vocal behavior of 15 adult gorillas living in two groups: one group of western lowland gorillas Gorilla gorilla gorilla and another group of mountain gorillas Beringei beringei.
RESEARCH ARTICLE Monitoring Ovarian Cycle Activity Via Progestagens in Urine and Feces of Female Mountain Gorillas: A Comparison of EIA and LC-MS Measurements
TL;DR: Fecal analysis of iPdG and pregnanediol is suitable for detecting ovulation in female mountain gorillas, and urine measurements using both EIA and LC–MS appeared to be uninformative for monitoring ovarian activity in this primate.
