This study examines how maternal effects influence gut microbiome maturation in wild gelada infants during their first three years, showing differences in microbial composition between infants of first-time and experienced mothers.

The paper shows that female geladas in mid-sized groups have higher fitness due to lower infant mortality and infanticide from immigrant males.

The paper investigates male-mediated maturation in wild geladas, finding that exposure to novel males induces estrogen surges and affects female puberty timing.

The paper examines factors influencing high capuchin density in a tropical dry forest fragment, finding that water availability is more critical than forest size or disturbance.
