TL;DR: It is shown that chimpanzees exhibit greater behavioural diversity in environments with more variability — in both recent and historical timescales, suggesting that environmental variability was a critical evolutionary force promoting the behavioural, as well as cultural diversification of great apes.

TL;DR: It is shown that rainforest anthrax is a persistent and widespread cause of death for a broad range of mammalian hosts and predicted that this pathogen will accelerate the decline and possibly result in the extirpation of local chimpanzee populations.

TL;DR: The ritualized behavioural display and collection of artefacts at particular locations observed in chimpanzee accumulative stone throwing may have implications for the inferences that can be drawn from archaeological stone assemblages and the origins of ritual sites.

TL;DR: The results support the view that “culturally significant units” should be integrated into wildlife conservation and show that chimpanzees inhabiting areas with high human impact have a mean probability of occurrence reduced by 88%, across all behaviors, compared to low-impact areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poaching empties critical Central African wilderness of forest elephants
John R. Poulsen,Sally E. Koerner,Sally E. Koerner,Sarah G. Moore,Vincent P. Medjibe,Stephen Blake,Connie J. Clark,Mark Ella Akou,J. Michael Fay,Amelia Meier,Joseph Okouyi,Cooper Rosin,Lee J. T. White +12 more
TL;DR: While poaching occurs from within Gabon, cross-border poaching largely drove the precipitous drop in elephant numbers, resulting in a loss of more than 25,000 elephants over ten years.
