Enhancing Competency-Based Social Work Skills Through Service Learning and Interprofessional Education in a Student-Run Free Healthcare Clinic
Student-run free clinics (SRFC) offer students the opportunity to learn and work with students from other disciplines; however, there is very little research on the benefits of SRFC to social work students. The purpose of this article is to describe the qualitative student outcomes of a service learning (SL) and interprofessional education (IPE) experience in a SRFC designed to enhance the interprofessional competencies of BSW social work student…
No effects of exposure to women's fertile window body scents on men's hormonal and psychological responses
Do men respond to women's peri-ovulatory body odors in functional ways? Prior studies reported more positive changes in men's testosterone and cortisol after exposure to women's scents collected within the putative fertile window (i.e., cycle days when conception is possible) compared to comparison odors, and also psychological priming effects that were differentially larger in response to the fertile window odors. We tested replication of these …
Energetic costs of testosterone in two subsistence populations
OBJECTIVE: Testosterone plays a role in mediating energetic trade-offs between growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Investments in a high testosterone phenotype trade-off against other functions, particularly survival-enhancing immune function and cellular repair; thus only individuals in good condition can maintain both a high testosterone phenotype and somatic maintenance. While these effects are observed in experimental manipulations, they a…
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…
Hormonal influences on women's extra-pair sexual interests
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 …

Oxidative stress and the differential expression of traits associated with mating effort in humans
Female‐directed aggression by adolescent male chimpanzees primarily constitutes dominance striving, not sexual coercion
OBJECTIVES: Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are notable for exhibiting high levels of male-to-female aggression. Much of this aggression from adult males serves sexually coercive functions. Despite being smaller and lower-ranking than adult males, adolescent males also engage in regular aggression against adult females. Here, we test whether the primary function of this aggression is sexual coercion, as in adult males, or, alternatively, whether ad…
Human‐like adrenal development in wild chimpanzees
The development of the adrenal cortex varies considerably across primates, being most conspicuous in humans, where a functional zona reticularis–the site of dehydroepiandrosterone‐sulfate (DHEA/S) production–does not develop until middle childhood (5–8 years). Prior reports suggest that a human‐like adrenarche, associated with a sharp prepubertal increase in DHEA/S, may only occur in the genus Pan . However, the timing and variability in adrenarc…

The development of feeding behavior in wild chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii )
OBJECTIVES: Primates have an extended period of juvenility before adulthood. Although dietary complexity plays a prominent role in hypotheses regarding the evolution of extended juvenility, the development of feeding behavior is still poorly understood. Indeed, few studies have investigated the timing and nature of feeding transitions in apes, including chimpanzees. We describe general patterns of feeding development in wild chimpanzees and evalu…

Screening wild and semi‐free ranging great apes for putative sexually transmitted diseases
First published: 26 June 2015 DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22442 In Rushmore et al., there was an error that affected the phylogenetic analysis presented in Figure 2. Below is a corrected version of Figure 2, which includes sequences from fecal and urine samples obtained from chimpanzees in our study and other related parasites (with Genbank accession numbers). Full-length (250 ±1 nt) Illumina reads from fecal samples were paired by name and merged using Gen…
Comparative Reproductive Energetics of Human and Nonhuman Primates
Primates as a group exhibit high reproductive costs, departing in numerous ways from expectations derived from other mammals. Yet, there is also substantial life-history variation within primates that affects the costs of producing offspring and how these costs are distributed over time. Whereas general phylogenetic and allometric trends are well established, issues regarding the mechanisms that regulate energy allocations remain unresolved. This…
Diet and reproductive function in wild female chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii ) at Kibale National Park, Uganda
Human female reproductive function is highly sensitive to current energetic condition, indicating adaptation to modulate reproductive effort in accordance with changing ecological conditions that might favor or disfavor the production of offspring. Here, we test the hypothesis that reproductive capacity in female chimpanzees is likewise limited by current energetic condition. We used 12 years of data on wild chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinf…
Paternity and social rank in wild chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) from the Budongo Forest, Uganda
We analyzed patterns of paternity and male dominance rank in the Sonso community of wild East African chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii ) in the Budongo Forest, Uganda. Our major objective was to determine whether and how social rank influenced paternity success. We successfully genotyped 52 individuals at up to nine microsatellite loci, using DNA extracted from fecal samples. Of 24 offspring analyzed, we identified sires for 21. Pater…

Associations between male testosterone and immune function in a pathogenically stressed forager‐horticultural population
OBJECTIVES: Despite well-known fitness advantages to males who produce and maintain high endogenous testosterone levels, such phenotypes may be costly if testosterone-mediated investment in reproductive effort trade-off against investment in somatic maintenance. Previous studies of androgen-mediated trade-offs in human immune function find mixed results, in part because most studies either focus on a few indicators of immunity, are confounded by …
Predation by female chimpanzees
The High Price of Success
Technical note
Individual body size and composition are important variables for a variety of questions about the behavioral ecology and life histories of non‐human primates. Standard methodologies for obtaining body mass involve either capture, which poses risks to the subject, or provisioning, which can disrupt the processes being studied. There are no methods currently available to assess body composition from living animals in the wild. Because of its deriva…
The Paternal Provisioning Hypothesis
OBJECTIVES: Testosterone supports male reproduction through a broad range of behavioral and physiological effects, including the maintenance of sexually dimorphic muscle used in male-male competition. Although it is often assumed that a persistent relationship exists between men's testosterone production and musculature, most studies either fail to find evidence for such a relationship, or document very weak associations. In nonhuman primates, by…

Impact of a community-based integrated management of childhood illnesses (IMCI) programme in Gegharkunik, Armenia
BACKGROUND: Maternal and child health status in the Martuni region of Gegharkunik marz, Armenia, precipitously declined following Armenia's independence in 1991. In response, the American Red Cross (ARC) and the Armenian Red Cross Society (ARCS) implemented the WHO community-level Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) strategy, complementing recent clinical IMCI training in the region in which 387 community health volunteers from 16…

Using urinary parameters to estimate seasonal variation in the physical condition of female white‐faced capuchin monkeys ( Cebus capucinus imitator )
OBJECTIVES: The physical condition of females depends on access to resources, which vary over space and time. Assessing variation in physical condition can help identify factors affecting reproductive success, but noninvasive measurement is difficult in wild animals. Creatinine concentration relative to the specific gravity (i.e., density) of urine has promise for noninvasively quantifying the relative muscle mass (RMM) of wild primates. We verif…
Determination of lactogenic activity in the serum of the squirrel monkey ( Saimiri boliviensis ) using the Nb2 lymphoma bioassay
Determination of squirrel monkey prolactin by immunoassay has been hampered by the lack of antiserum specific to prolactin from this species. As an alternate method, we have investigated whether the Nb2 lymphoma bioassay could be adapted for routine measurement of the lactogenic activity of samples of squirrel monkey serum. The growth of the Nb2 cells is absolutely dependent on the presence of lactogens in the culture medium. The cells were maint…
Characterization of prolactin and growth hormone immuno‐ and bioactivities in the pituitary gland and serum of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis)
The immunological and biological activities of growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) in the pituitary gland and serum of the squirrel monkey ( Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis ) have been studied. Proteins in pituitary homogenates were solubilized in 1% SDS, electrophoresed on 12% polyacrylamide gels, and transferred to nitrocellulose. Squirrel monkey GH and PRL were identified by immunoblotting with anti‐human GH antibodies and a monoclonal ant…
Reproductive endocrinology of wild female Chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii )
Fecal and urine samples were collected from 81 female East African chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii ) in three major study populations in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, and Budongo Forest Reserve and Kibale National Park, Uganda. In this study I evaluated issues related to sample storage and assay reliability, and used these methods to investigate the significance of ovarian hormone levels in terms of conception success and sexual beh…
The conceptual framework of the International Tobacco Control (ITC) Policy Evaluation Project
This paper describes the conceptual model that underlies the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC Project), whose mission is to measure the psychosocial and behavioural impact of key policies of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) among adult smokers, and in some countries, among adult non-smokers and among youth. The evaluation framework utilises multiple country controls, a longitudinal design, and a pre-s…
Methods of the International Tobacco Control (ITC) Four Country Survey
This paper outlines the design features, data collection methods and analytic strategies of the International Tobacco Control (ITC) Four Country Survey, a prospective study of more than 2000 longitudinal respondents per country with yearly replenishments. This survey possesses unique features that sets it apart among surveys on tobacco use and cessation. One of these features is the use of theory-driven conceptual models. In this paper, however, …

Hyperprogesteronemia in response to Vitex fischeri consumption in wild chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii )
Chimpanzees in Gombe National Park consume fruits of Vitex fischeri during a short annual fruiting season. This fruit species is a member of a genus widely studied for phytoestrogen composition and varied physiological effects. One particularly well‐studied species, V. agnus‐castus , is noted for its documented effects on female reproductive function, evidenced in increased progesterone levels and consequent regulation of luteal function. We exam…

Testosterone and romance
OBJECTIVES: The current study extends previous research on testosterone (T) and mating effort by examining whether relationship commitment and satisfaction explain variance in T beyond relationship status alone. METHODS: Salivary testosterone and self-reported assessments of relationship commitment and satisfaction were assessed among 90 heterosexual men and women (age M = 23.57) in a cross-sectional community sample. RESULTS: Relationship commit…

When the Economy Falters, Do People Spend or Save? Responses to Resource Scarcity Depend on Childhood Environments
Just as modern economies undergo periods of boom and bust, human ancestors experienced cycles of abundance and famine. Is the adaptive response when resources become scarce to save for the future or to spend money on immediate gains? Drawing on life-history theory, we propose that people’s responses to resource scarcity depend on the harshness of their early-life environment, as reflected by childhood socioeconomic status (SES). In the three expe…
