In order to assess the impact of human activities on chimpanzee behavior, we compared reactions to humans of Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) living in proximity to and at a distance from roads and settlements in the Bili-Uele landscape in Northern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). We found that chimpanzees in the remote Gangu Forest were more likely to show curious or...

ABSTRACT Ongoing debates in conservation studies stress the dire consequences of ‘fortress’ and ‘militarized’ at violent frontiers. Presenting evidence from Kahuzi‐Biega National Park war‐torn eastern Democratic Republic Congo (DRC), this article shows how park has become a focal point for armed insurgent groups region. Although fortress contributed to one major incident resistance recent years...

The nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC) forms a cross-bridge between the outer doublet microtubules of the axoneme and regulates dynein motor activity in cilia/flagella. Although the molecular composition and the three-dimensional structure of N-DRC have been studied using mutant strains lacking N-DRC subunits, more accurate approaches are necessary to characterize the structure and functio...

Abstract Purpose Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been criticized for contributing to negative social impacts along their life cycles, especially child labor and harsh working conditions during cobalt extraction. This study focuses on human health — arguably the most fundamental of all impacts. The aim is quantify potential life-cycle an LIB cell type nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC 811) in terms...

Distinction between members of the equatorial Africa malaria vector Anopheles moucheti (Evans) s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) has been based mainly on doubtful morphological features. To determine the level of genetic differentiation between the three morphological forms of this complex, we investigated molecular polymorphism in the gene encoding for mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase b (CytB) and in ...
