Full-genome characterization of simian T-cell leukemia virus type 1 subtype b from a wild-born captive Gorilla gorilla gorilla with T-cell lymphoma Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Western lowland gorilla density and nesting behavior in a Gabonese forest logged for 25 years: implications for gorilla conservation Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Mammalian cytogenetics. VIII. Q-banding of chromosomes of Pan troglodytes, Gorilla gorilla beringei and Pongo pygmaeus Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
High chimpanzee and gorilla densities in a non-protected area on the northern periphery of the Dja Faunal Reserve, Cameroon Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Information on the densities of threatened species in non-protected areas is crucial for assessing the degree of isolation of adjacent protected areas and consequently their potential for preserving species from extinction. Relatively few studies, however, provide such information. We present the results of a survey of the densities of two great ape species, the gorilla Gorilla gorilla gorilla and chimpanzee Pan troglodytes troglodytes, in a ...
Making hard choices: balancing indigenous communities livelihood and Cross River gorilla conservation in the Lebialem–Mone Forest landscape, Cameroon Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Quantity and spatial distribution of seeds dispersed by a western lowland gorilla population in south-east Cameroon Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Understanding the ecological function of large frugivores in tropical forests is important considering their central position in seed-dispersal networks. This study illustrates the seed-dispersal effectiveness of a western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) population in Cameroon by looking at the interaction of seed quantity, species regeneration traits and the environmental characteristics of the deposition sites (sleeping sites vs. ...
Western lowland gorilla seed dispersal: Are seeds adapted to long gut retention times? Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
The degree of seed scarification in the frugivore gut, partly dependent on gut retention time, is a key component in determining the extent to which gut passage alters germination performances. Another potential benefit of gut passage arises as a result of the removal of fruit pulp which otherwise may act as
a germination inhibitor. Using experiments designed to disentangle the respective effects of pulp removal (germination deinhibition) ...

Human use of Mawambi Hills forests, SW Cameroon: Implications for the survival of the Cross River gorilla. Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Most forest habitats in Cameroon support villages whose inhabitants are heavily reliant on the forests for their everyday needs. We assessed the socio-economic status and natural resource use of 3 villages bordering Mawambi Hills, an unprotected forest in southwest Cameroon, home to both the Critically Endangered Cross River gorilla Gorilla gorilla diehli and the Endangered Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee Pan troglodytes ellioti. This forest likely ...
