  • Strontium isotope analysis can be applied to animal and plant tissues to help determine their provenance. Here, the authors generate a strontium isoscape of sub-Saharan Africa using data from 2266 environmental samples and demonstrate its efficacy by tracing the African roots of individuals from historic slavery contexts.

  • In mammals, documented female dominance is rare, but females can hold high status even with male-biased dimorphism. In wild living bonobo groups, female coalition formation best explains the observed variation in female power.

  • Surbeck and colleagues investigate the proximate drivers of female gregariousness in bonobos and chimpanzees across different observed communities. Their findings indicate that varied levels of sexual signalling in these two species result in different social behaviours regarding female grouping and potentially cooperation.

  • Analysis of changes in functional groups of species and potential drivers of environmental change for protected areas across the world’s major tropical regions reveals large variation between reserves that have been effective and those experiencing an erosion of biodiversity, and shows that environmental changes immediately outside reserves are nearly as important as those inside in determining their ecological fate.

  • A meta-analysis of studies on chimpanzees and bonobos across Africa shows that their conspecific aggression is the normal and expected product of adaptive strategies to obtain resources or mates and has no connection with the impacts of human activities.

  • Cosmological evidence suggests that nonluminous dark matter comprises 27% of the energy density of the universe, with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) being a favoured candidate. Here, the authors perform a search for WIMP-like dark matter interacting with a virtual particle that is exchanges between xenon nucleons.
