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 …

Research programmes have been shown to exert a positive impact on faunal communities,
but few studies provide empirical evidence. In this study, we surveyed three neighbouring …
