Forest fragments become farmland: Dietary Response of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) to fast‐changing anthropogenic landscapes

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23090
Abstract: Behavioral flexibility, including an ability to modify feeding behavior, is a key trait enabling primates to survive in forest fragments. In human‐dominated landscapes, unprotected forest fragments can become progressively degraded, and may be cleared entirely,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23358
Abstract: Viral infection is a major cause of ill health in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), but most evidence to date has come from conspicuous disease outbreaks with high morbidity and mortality. To examine the relationship between… read more here.

Nocturnal activity in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes): Evidence for flexible sleeping patterns and insights into human evolution.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "American journal of physical anthropology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.23478
Abstract: OBJECTIVES We investigated occurrences and patterns of terrestrial nocturnal activity in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and modelled the influence of various ecological predictors on nocturnal activity. METHODS Data were extracted from terrestrial camera-trap footage and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8902
Abstract: Abstract Localizing wildlife contributes in multiple ways to species conservation. Data on animal locations can reveal elements of social behavior, habitat use, population dynamics, and be useful in calculating population density. Acoustic localization systems (ALS)… read more here.

The relationship between food calling and agonistic behaviour in wild chimpanzees
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Behavioural Processes"
DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2020.104182
Abstract: A number of social animals produce food-associated calls, which have been interpreted as informative and referential about the quality or quantity of food accessed by the caller. In chimpanzees, however, some behavioural patterns have remained… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113341
Abstract: Wildlife is increasingly exposed to environmental pollution, but data illustrating to what extent this exposure can impact health and survival of endangered species is missing. In humans, hair matrix analysis is a reliable tool for… read more here.

Parochial cooperation in wild chimpanzees: a model to explain the evolution of parochial altruism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0149
Abstract: Parochial altruism, taking individual costs to benefit the in-group and harm the out-group, has been proposed as one of the mechanisms underlying the human ability of large-scale cooperation. How parochial altruism has evolved remains unclear.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0302
Abstract: Understanding the affective lives of animals has been a long-standing challenge in science. Recent technological progress in infrared thermal imaging has enabled researchers to monitor animals' physiological states in real-time when exposed to ecologically relevant… read more here.

Abstract: Old chimp friends As humans age, we prioritize established positive friendships over the new, but risky, socializing we do when we are young. It has been hypothesized that this shift may come as our own… read more here.

Lethal Respiratory Disease Associated with Human Rhinovirus C in Wild Chimpanzees, Uganda, 2013
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Emerging Infectious Diseases"
DOI: 10.3201/eid2402.170778
Abstract: We describe a lethal respiratory outbreak among wild chimpanzees in Uganda in 2013 for which molecular and epidemiologic analyses implicate human rhinovirus C as the cause. Postmortem samples from an infant chimpanzee yielded near-complete genome… read more here.
