A simple sexing test for elephant species and its application to faecal DNA

Stephanie Bourgeois et al.

Summary: A novel real-time PCR assay has been developed for rapid sexing in all three elephant species, which amplifies small fragments of the orthologous sexual chromosome zinc finger protein genes ZFX/ZFY. This assay is a simple, inexpensive, and reliable tool suitable for non-invasive DNA samples, and can be incorporated into larger SNP panels for individual identification and population genetic studies.

No time to rest: How the effects of climate change on nest decay threaten the conservation of apes in the wild

Mattia Bessone et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of climate change and behavioral factors on nest decay time of bonobos, using Bayesian gamma survival model and logistic regression method. The research reveals a trend of longer decay times in bonobo nests in recent years, with storms being the main factor influencing decay time. Additionally, evidence suggests that bonobo nesting behavior is adapted to climate conditions, particularly in response to unpredictable harsh precipitation.
