This research examines how social relationships influence the gut microbiome using Rwenzori Angolan colobus monkeys as a model. By combining social network analysis with microbial DNA sequencing, the study explores how beneficial bacteria spread through social groups and caregiving relationships, offering insights into the evolutionary connections between sociality and health.

This research investigates ground locomotion in bats, focusing on the endangered Eastern small-footed bat. Using treadmill experiments in the field, it reveals that bats can move effectively on the ground. Findings suggest ground behavior may be underestimated, with important implications for habitat use, risk exposure, and conservation strategies.
