Abstract Armed conflicts can severely disrupt wildlife conservation and management, yet their long-term genomic consequences remain poorly understood. South Sudan has experienced decades of conflict that have limited conservation efforts and prevented genomic assessment of its fauna, including the endangered subspecies of Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis). Due to long-standing logistical and political challenges, populations from South Sudan have remained largely unsampled.

Whether it’s a fancy dinner party or a routine family lunch, meals can be highly social affairs. And patterns of food sharing – or otherwise – can shape or describe relationships. But this is not unique to humans. From the “finders keepers” approach of Tasmanian devils on small carcasses, to female bonobos trading food for sex, animals acquire and distribute food in various ways, with diverse social consequences.
