A cautionary note on fecal sampling and molecular epidemiology in predatory wild great apes.

TL;DR: The prevalence of prey DNA in fecal samples obtained from two wild chimpanzee communities is estimated to be higher than or close to the fecal detection rates of many great ape parasites, which occasionally impact non‐invasive epidemiological studies.
Book ChapterDOI

Dispersal patterns of females in the genus Gorilla

TL;DR: A mathematical model and empirical results from western gorillas suggest that variability in male quality may resolve both paradoxes and help to explain why dispersal is common among gorilla populations, even if the benefits are not yet fully apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent genetic connectivity and clinal variation in chimpanzees

Jack D. Lester, +68 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed a geographically comprehensive sample set amplified at microsatellite markers that inform recent population history and found that isolation by distance explains most of the range-wide genetic structure of chimpanzees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term inference of population size and habitat use in a socially dynamic population of wild western lowland gorillas

TL;DR: How individual movements link groups in a ‘network’ and show that western lowland gorilla populations can show a high degree of temporal and geographic stability concurrent with substantial social dynamics are revealed.
