The Importance of Sociality and Diet in Explaining Variation in the Bonobo Gut Microbiota
Gut microbial communities or the gut microbiota are of increasing interest due to the important role they play in nutrition, development, health, and disease. Among primates, several factors, like sociality and diet, have been found to be important in structuring the gut microbiota. The relative importance of sociality versus diet has yet to be examined for bonobos ( Pan paniscus ). Here, we describe dietary, social, and gut microbiota data for 2…
Social network dynamics, infant loss, and gut microbiota composition in female Colobus vellerosus during time periods with alpha male challenges
Ecological and genetic variables co‐vary with social group identity to shape the gut microbiome of a pair‐living primate
Primates exhibit diverse social systems that are intricately linked to their biology, behavior, and evolution, all of which influence the acquisition and maintenance of their gut microbiomes (GMs). However, most studies of wild primate populations focus on taxa with relatively large group sizes, and few consider pair‐living species. To address this gap, we investigate how a primate's social system interacts with key environmental, social, and gen…
Divergence in gut microbial communities mirrors a social group fission event in a black‐and‐white colobus monkey ( Colobus vellerosus )
Host behavior and social factors have increasingly been implicated in structuring the composition of gut microbial communities. In social animals, distinct microbial communities characterize different social groups across a variety of taxa, although little longitudinal research has been conducted that demonstrates how this divergence occurs. Our study addresses this question by characterizing the gut microbial composition of an African Old World …
Female parity, maternal kinship, infant age and sex influence natal attraction and infant handling in a wild colobine ( Colobus vellerosus )
Primate females often inspect, touch and groom others' infants (natal attraction) and they may hold and carry these infants in a manner resembling maternal care (infant handling). While natal attraction and infant handling occur in most wild colobines, little is known about the factors influencing the expression of these behaviors. We examined the effects of female parity, kinship, and dominance rank, as well as infant age and sex in wild Colobus…
Demographic Factors Are Associated with Intergroup Variation in the Grooming Networks of Female Colobus (Colobus vellerosus)

Kinship and similarity in residency status structure female social networks in black‐and‐white colobus monkeys (colobus vellerosus)
Kinship shapes female social networks in many primate populations in which females remain in their natal group to breed. In contrast, it is unclear to which extent kinship affects the social networks in populations with female dispersal. Female Colobus vellerosus show routine facultative dispersal (i.e., some females remain philopatric and others disperse). This dispersal pattern allowed us to evaluate if facultative dispersed females form social…
