Differential effects of multiplex and uniplex affiliative relationships on biomarkers of inflammation

The paper examines how multiplex and uniplex affiliative relationships in rhesus macaques affect inflammation biomarkers, finding that multiplex relationships are linked to lower inflammation while uniplex relationships are linked to higher inflammation.

Joint interactions with humans may pose a higher risk of zoonotic outbreaks than interactions with conspecifics among wildlife populations at human-wildlife interfaces

The paper uses social network analysis and SIR models to show that human-wildlife interactions increase zoonotic outbreak risk more than wildlife-wildlife interactions in macaques.
