Future coexistence with great apes will require major changes to policy and practice
Viruses in sanctuary chimpanzees across Africa
Infectious disease is a major concern for both wild and captive primate populations. Primate sanctuaries in Africa provide critical protection to thousands of wild‐born, orphan primates confiscated from the bushmeat and pet trades. However, uncertainty about the infectious agents these individuals potentially harbor has important implications for their individual care and long‐term conservation strategies. We used metagenomic next‐generation sequ…
The cost of living in larger primate groups includes higher fly densities
Flies are implicated in carrying and mechanically transmitting many primate pathogens. We investigated how fly associations vary across six monkey species ( Cercopithecus ascanius, Cercopithecus mitis , Colobus guereza , Lophocebus albigena , Papio anubis , and Piliocolobus tephrosceles ) and whether monkey group size impacts fly densities. Fly densities were generally higher inside groups than outside them, and considering data from these primat…
Viruses associated with ill health in wild chimpanzees
Viral infection is a major cause of ill health in wild chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ), but most evidence to date has come from conspicuous disease outbreaks with high morbidity and mortality. To examine the relationship between viral infection and ill health during periods not associated with disease outbreaks, we conducted a longitudinal study of wild eastern chimpanzees ( P. t. schweinfurthii ) in the Kanyawara and Ngogo communities of Kibale …
Opportunities for respiratory disease transmission from people to chimpanzees at an East African tourism site
Respiratory illnesses, including COVID‐19, present a serious threat to endangered wild chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ) populations. In some parts of sub‐Saharan Africa, chimpanzee tracking is a popular tourism activity, offering visitors a chance to view apes in their natural habitats. Chimpanzee tourism is an important source of revenue and thus benefits conservation; however, chimpanzee tracking may also increase the risk of disease transmission…

Fecal microbiomes of non‐human primates in Western Uganda reveal species‐specific communities largely resistant to habitat perturbation
Primate gastrointestinal microbial communities are becoming increasingly appreciated for their relevance to comparative medicine and conservation, but the factors that structure primate "microbiomes" remain controversial. This study examined a community of primates in Kibale National Park, Uganda, to assess the relative importance of host species and location in structuring gastrointestinal microbiomes. Fecal samples were collected from primates …
Uncovering zoonoses awareness in an emerging disease ‘hotspot
Physiological and Behavioral Effects of Capture Darting on Red Colobus Monkeys (Procolobus rufomitratus) with a Comparison to Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) Predation
Protozoan parasites in group‐living primates
A series of articles by W.J. Freeland published in the 1970s proposed that social organization and behavioral processes were heavily influenced by parasitic infections, which led to a number of intriguing hypotheses concerning how natural selection might act on social factors because of the benefits of avoiding parasite infections. For example, Freeland [1979] showed that all individuals within a given group harbored identical gastrointestinal pr…

Measuring physical traits of primates remotely
Physical traits, such as body size, and processes like growth can be used as indices of primate health and can add to our understanding of life history and behavior. Accurately measuring physical traits in the wild can be challenging because capture is difficult, disrupts animals, and may cause injury. To measure physical traits of arboreal primates remotely, we adapted a parallel laser technique that has been used with terrestrial and marine mam…
Killing of a pearl-spotted owlet (Glaucidium perlatum) by male red colobus monkeys (Procolobus tephrosceles) in a forest fragment near Kibale National Park, Uganda
Adult male red colobus (Procolobus tephrosceles) were observed capturing and killing an owl (Glaucidium perlatum) in the Rurama forest fragment near Kibale National Park in western Uganda. The owl was not subsequently eaten by the colobus, their conspecifics, or the other primates present during the attack. Because the incident was preceded by an agonistic encounter with a raptor, the event is best interpreted as a misdirected antipredator behavi…
Primates and the Ecology of their Infectious Diseases
The sudden appearance of diseases like SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome1), the devastating impacts of diseases like Ebola on both human and wildlife communities,2, 3 and the immense social and economic costs created by viruses like HIV4 underscore our need to understand the ecology of infectious diseases. Given that monkeys and apes often share parasites with humans, understanding the ecology of infectious diseases in nonhuman primates is …

The Fertility of Agricultural and Multiagricultural Traditional Societies
The Fertility of Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Traditional Societies
A comparison of demographic data from a sample of traditional, natural-fertility societies demonstrates that the mean total fertility of populations which practise intensive agriculture is significantly higher than that of foragers and horticulturalists. These findings support the association that demographers and economists have long maintained between the intensification of subsistence technology and increases in human fertility. This higher fe…
