Birds protected in Europe, overlooked in Africa: conservation synergies between African primates and wintering Afro-Palearctic migratory birds

This study identifies conservation synergies between African primates and Afro-Palearctic migratory birds by analyzing spatial and ecological overlaps and threats, suggesting integrated conservation strategies.

Local genetic adaptation to habitat in wild chimpanzees

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

Geographically structured genomic diversity of non-human primate-infecting Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue

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.
