Social bonds in the dispersing sex: partner preferences among adult female chimpanzees.

In most primate societies, strong and enduring social bonds form preferentially among kin, who benefit from cooperation through direct and indirect fitness gains. Chimpanzees, , differ from most species by showing consistent female-biased dispersal and strict male philopatry. In most East African populations, females tend to forage alone in small core areas and were long thought to have weak social bonds of little biological significance.

Māori experiences of aphasia therapy: "But I'm from Hauiti and we've got shags".

This study explored Māori experiences of aphasia therapy, with a view to ascertaining what makes a service culturally safe as well as "accessible to and culturally appropriate for" Māori with aphasia and their whānau (extended family). Māori are the indigenous peoples of New Zealand. This study incorporated interpretive description (a qualitative methodology) within kaupapa Māori research (a Māori approach to research).

Māori with aphasia: a people without a voice?

Aim: This literature review aimed to investigate whether Māori with aphasia and their whānau are being included in research. A second aim was to identify what, if any, specific outcomes or concerns have been reported. Although the prevalence and incidence of aphasia in the Māori population is unknown, it is likely to be relatively high, given the high rate of stroke among Māori.
