Flexibility in primate vocal behaviour: the role of socio-ecological pressures and context in the production and percep-tion of vocal signals.
REFNo: NS759ES
The general aim of the proposed study is to contribute to the debate about how fluctuations in socio-ecological pressures may lead to more or less flexible behavioural strategies in primate social and vocal behaviour, and what role individual states may additionally contribute to this. This is done by studying the behavioural consequences of (1.) fluctuations in predation pressures and (2.) fluctuations in female reproductive states in two different primate species of the Budongo Forest Reserve: (1.) guereza colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) and (2.) chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). For the study on the colobus monkeys, behavioural monitoring, as well as playback experiments, will be conducted to find out whether guereza colobus monkeys flexibly adjust their vocal and social behaviour relative to local differences in predation pressures. For the study on the chimpanzees, only behavioural observation will be conducted, aimed to assess whether female chimpanzees flexibly adjust their vocal and social behaviour relative to reproductive state and food availability. These studies test hypotheses arising from substantial previous work with the Sonso and Kaniyo Pabidi communities of Guereza colobus monkeys and chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest, Uganda, which in the past also entailed observational and acoustical experimental fieldwork.

A discrete choice experiment to assess preferences for a future preventative HIV vaccine among at-risk populations in Uganda
REFNo: HS3769ES
General objective
This study aims to answer the question of which factors are most preferable among at-risk populations and therefore affect their decisions to take up a preventative HIV vaccine in comparison to other preventative methods through the implementation of a discrete choice experiment (DCE) in Uganda.
Specific objectives
The objectives of this study will be to conduct key informant interviews which will ultimately inform a DCE which will conducted to determine factors influencing the prospective uptake of a preventative HIV vaccine among People at Substantial Risk for HIV Infection (PSRHI) in Uganda.
Objective 1: Identify characteristics of preventative HIV medications which are most preferred regarding the decision to take these medications in Kampala, Uganda by conducting 15-20 key informant interviews. In other words, the purpose of this objective is to identify the characteristics and levels of these characteristics that should be included in the DCE in objective 2.
Objective 2: Determine the attributes of a preventative HIV medication that are most valued by PSRHI in Uganda through the implementation of a discrete choice experiment (DCE).

A survey of the mammals of the Ajai Wildlife Reserve before, during and after large mammal reintroductions.
REFNo: NS710ES
The small mammals of Uganda have been fairly well studied in some regions of the country, but northern regions lack modern survey data documenting species occurrences. The Ajai Wildlife Reserve is located close to a very important historical ‘type’ location, Rhino Camp, where many original species descriptions were made. Most of these specimens, however, are very old, lack associated molecular tissues, and confound taxonomic advancements in many groups (particularly rodents and shrews). Additionally, per conversations with collaborators and rangers, we have come to learn that large mammal reintroductions are planned for Ajai. Conducting surveys before and after any reintroductions will allow us to evaluate changes through time associated with reintroducing extirpated species to this reserve.
