The paper shows wild chimpanzees increase social connectivity before risky group actions, forming broader but less dense affiliative networks.

This study uses non-invasive fecal samples and chromosome 21 target capture sequencing to analyze bonobo population structure, identifying three subpopulations and river barriers influencing genetic differentiation.

This study identifies local genetic adaptation to habitat in wild chimpanzees, particularly to pathogens like malaria, using newly generated exomes.

The paper characterizes the genomic diversity of Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue in non-human primates across sub-Saharan Africa, finding geographic clustering of strains rather than host or symptom-based clades.
