Mutual coordination of behaviors in human–chimpanzee interactions: A case study in a laboratory setting by Akira Takada

“…Analyses of the accumulated interactional histories revealed that most captive chimpanzees and humans in GARI appear to have formed mutually coordinated interaction patterns despite the differences in available semiotic resources between the two species. One exception was an infant chimpanzee raised by humans, who had not yet accumulated a sufficient interactional history to form stable interaction patterns with other chimpanzees. …”

Microbial partner (MiPner) analysis by Jeffrey L. Bennetzen, Josue Fernandez-Canela, Vienna Elmgreen, Shaugnessy R. McCann, Mary E. Norris, Xiangyu Deng, Philip Brailey-Crane

“…A simple, robust technique was developed to set up the foundation for investigating pairwise bacterial-bacterial interactions, using cell-cell binding as a self-selective mechanism to identify interesting bacterial species pairs.MethodsUsing a Serratia marcescens strain (SMC43) isolated from Georgia soil as a “bait”, specific bacteria were purified by their specificity in binding SMC43 bacteria that were themselves attached to a wooden applicator stick.ResultsThe isolated Microbial Partners (MiPners) were greatly enriched for members of the genera Sphingobium and Caulobacter. …”
