Social tolerance is a core aspect of primate social relationships with implications for the evolution of cooperation, prosociality and social learning. We measured the social tolerance of bonobos in an experiment recently validated with chimpanzees to allow for a comparative assessment of group-level tolerance, and found that the bonobo group studied here exhibited lower social tolerance on average than chimpanzees in this paradigm.

Breeding programs for endangered species increasingly
use molecular genetics to inform their management
strategies. Molecular approaches can be useful for
investigating relatedness, resolving pedigree uncertainties,
and for estimating genetic diversity in captive and wild
populations. Genetic data can also be used to evaluate the
representation of wild population genomes within captive
population gene-pools. ...
