Samango monkeys (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi) in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa, experience a highly seasonal climate, with relatively cold, dry winters. They must show behavioural flexibility to survive these difficult conditions ne...

Dental microstructure records life history events: A histological study of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) from Gabon (2021)
Journal Article
Lemmers, S. A., Dirks, W., Street, S. E., Ngoubangoye, B., Herbert, A., & Setchell, J. M. (2021). Dental microstructure records life history events: A histological study of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) from Gabon. Journal of Human Evolution, 158, Article 103046. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2021.103046

Accentuated lines in dental microstructure are hypothesized to correlate with potentially stressful life history events, but our understanding of when, how and why such accentuated lines form in relation to stressful events is limited. We examined ac... Read More about Dental microstructure records life history events: A histological study of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) from Gabon.

Decolonising Primate Conservation Practice: A Case Study from North Morocco (2021)
Journal Article
Waters, S., El Harrad, A., Bell, S., & Setchell, J. M. (2022). Decolonising Primate Conservation Practice: A Case Study from North Morocco. International Journal of Primatology, 43(6), 1046-1066. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10764-021-00228-0

Understanding the historical context of an area enables an incoming conservationist to reflect on their role in communities and to better position themselves both politically and socially within them. Here, we explore how outside agencies and institu... Read More about Decolonising Primate Conservation Practice: A Case Study from North Morocco.

Fecal glucocorticoids and gastrointestinal parasite infections in wild western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) involved in ecotourism (2021)
Journal Article
Shutt-Phillips, K., Pafčo, B., Heistermann, M., Kasim, A., Petrželková, K. J., Profousová-Pšenková, I., …Setchell, J. M. (2021). Fecal glucocorticoids and gastrointestinal parasite infections in wild western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) involved in ecotourism. General and Comparative Endocrinology, 312, Article 113859. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ygcen.2021.113859

Wildlife ecotourism can offer a source of revenue which benefits local development and conservation simultaneously. However, habituation of wildlife for ecotourism can cause long-term elevation of glucocorticoid hormones, which may suppress immune fu...

Olfactory signals and fertility in olive baboons (2021)
Journal Article
Vaglio, S., Minicozzi, P., Kessler, S. E., Walker, D., & Setchell, J. M. (2021). Olfactory signals and fertility in olive baboons. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 8506. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87893-6

Female primates signal impending ovulation with a suite of sexual signals. Studies of these signals have focussed on visual, and to a lesser extent, acoustic signals, neglecting olfactory signals. We aimed to investigate the information content of fe... Read More about Olfactory signals and fertility in olive baboons.
