The study of the archaeological remains of fossil hominins must rely on reconstructions to
elucidate the behaviour that may have resulted in particular stone tools and their accumulation…

Chimpanzees possess a large number of behavioral and cultural traits among nonhuman
species. The “disturbance hypothesis” predicts that human impact depletes resources and …

We present a range-wide assessment of sympatric western lowland gorillas Gorilla gorilla
gorilla and central chimpanzees Pan troglodytes troglodytes using the largest survey data set …

Anthrax is a globally important animal disease and zoonosis. Despite this, our current
knowledge of anthrax ecology is largely limited to arid ecosystems, where outbreaks are most …

Large brains and behavioural innovation are positively correlated, species-specific traits,
associated with the behavioural flexibility animals need for adapting to seasonal and …

Knowledge on the population history of endangered species is critical for conservation, but
whole-genome data on chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) is geographically sparse. Here, we …

Wild chimpanzees regularly use tools, made from sticks, leaves, or stone, to find flexible
solutions to the ecological challenges of their environment. Nevertheless, some studies suggest …

Background Metabarcoding of vertebrate DNA found in invertebrates (iDNA) represents a
potentially powerful tool for monitoring biodiversity. Preliminary evidence suggests fly iDNA …

Objectives We investigated occurrences and patterns of terrestrial nocturnal activity in wild
chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and modelled the influence of various ecological predictors …

Temperament and personality research in humans and nonhuman animals measures
behavioral variation in individual, population, or species-specific traits with implications for …
