A brief history of primate research in the Ndoki forest
The complex Y‐chromosomal history of gorillas
Studies of the evolutionary relationships among gorilla populations using autosomal and mitochondrial sequences suggest that male‐mediated gene flow may have been important in the past, but data on the Y‐chromosomal relationships among the gorilla subspecies are limited. Here, we genotyped blood and noninvasively collected fecal samples from 12 captives and 257 wild male gorillas of known origin representing all four subspecies ( Gorilla gorilla …
Spatial priorities for conserving the most intact biodiverse forests within Central Africa
The forests of Central Africa contain some of Earth's few remaining intact forests. These forests are increasingly threatened by infrastructure development, agriculture, and unsustainable extraction of natural resources (e.g. minerals, bushmeat, and timber), all of which is leading to deforestation and forest degradation, particularly defaunation, and hence causing declines in biodiversity and a significant increase in carbon emissions. Given the…

The genetic population structure of wild western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) living in continuous rain forest
To understand the evolutionary histories and conservation potential of wild animal species it is useful to assess whether taxa are genetically structured into different populations and identify the underlying factors responsible for any clustering. Landscape features such as rivers may influence genetic population structure, and analysis of structure by sex can further reveal effects of sex-specific dispersal. Using microsatellite genotypes obtai…
Physical maturation, life‐history classes and age estimates of free‐ranging western gorillas—insights from Mbeli Bai, Republic of Congo
Physical maturation and life‐history parameters are seen as evolutionary adaptations to different ecological and social conditions. Comparison of life‐history patterns of closely related species living in diverse environments helps to evaluate the validity of these assumptions but empirical data are lacking. The two gorilla species exhibit substantial differences in their environment, which allows investigation into the role of increased frugivor…
Within‐group social relationships among females and adult males in wild western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla )
Within‐group female relationships, and relationships between females and adult males have not been described for wild western lowland gorillas. New data are presented here from Mbeli Bai in the Nouabalé‐Ndoki National Park, Republic of Congo. Nine groups were observed over a continuous 2‐year period, and affiliative and agonistic interactions, as well as time spent by females and adult males in proximity to each other were recorded. Affiliative b…
Social structure and life‐history patterns in western gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla )
Life‐history traits and ecological conditions have an important influence on primate social systems. Most of what we know about the life‐history patterns and social structure of gorillas comes from studies of eastern gorillas ( Gorilla beringei sp.), which live under dramatically different ecological conditions compared to western gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla sp.). In this paper we present new data on western gorilla social structure and life histo…
Increasing Womenʼs Leadership in Academic Medicine: Report of the Aamc Project Implementation Committee
The AAMC's Increasing Women's Leadership Project Implementation Committee examined four years of data on the advancement of women in academic medicine. With women comprising only 14% of tenured faculty and 12% of full professors, the committee concludes that the progress achieved is inadequate. Because academic medicine needs all the leaders it can develop to address accelerating institutional and societal needs, the waste of most women's potenti…
