    Social groups buffer maternal loss in mountain gorillas

    Robin E Morrison, Winnie Eckardt ... Tara S Stoinski
    In mountain gorillas, as in certain human populations, relationships between group members can act as a social buffer, breaking the link between maternal loss, increased social adversity, and decreased fitness.

    Microplankton life histories revealed by holographic microscopy and deep learning

    Harshith Bachimanchi, Benjamin Midtvedt ... Giovanni Volpe
    The combination of holographic microscopy and deep learning provides a revolutionary tool for plankton ecology that will permit researchers to observe and study the life, feeding habits and reproduction of plankton with unprecedented detail.

    Combining genomics and epidemiology to analyse bi-directional transmission of Mycobacterium bovis in a multi-host system

    Joseph Crispell, Clare H Benton ... Rowland Raymond Kao
    Analyses combining genomic and epidemiological data of Mycobacterium bovis, which causes bovine tuberculosis, revealed evidence of transmission within and between cattle and badger populations.

    Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays

    Nicholas K Dulvy, Sarah L Fowler ... William T White
    One-quarter of the Chondrichthyes have an elevated risk of extinction, mainly as a result of overfishing.

    Relative demographic susceptibility does not explain the extinction chronology of Sahul’s megafauna

    Corey JA Bradshaw, Christopher N Johnson ... Frédérik Saltré
    There is no relationship between the demographic susceptibility to extinction and the estimated extinction chronology among Sahul’s megafauna, suggesting that human choices, a species’ ecological requirements, and/or random climate variation instead determined the extinction chronology.

    Productivity loss associated with functional disability in a contemporary small-scale subsistence population

    Jonathan Stieglitz, Paul L Hooper ... Michael D Gurven
    Adult spinal fracture substantially impairs subsistence productivity, particularly for men.

    An estimate of the deepest branches of the tree of life from ancient vertically evolving genes

    Edmund RR Moody, Tara A Mahendrarajah ... Tom A Williams
    Relatively few genes have evolved vertically from the last universal common ancestor to modern prokaryotes, and phylogenetic analysis of these genes demonstrates a great genetic distance between Archaea and Bacteria.

    Computed tomography shows high fracture prevalence among physically active forager-horticulturalists with high fertility

    Jonathan Stieglitz, Benjamin C Trumble ... Michael D Gurven
    High reproductive effort constrains bone tissue response to physical activity-induced mechanical loading.
