TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.

TL;DR: It is suggested that chimpanzees may actively modify pant hoots to be different from their neighbours, providing support for the vocal learning hypothesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the use of territory characteristics among three neighboring chimpanzee communities in the Tai National Park, Cote d'Ivoire, and compared them with other chimpanzee populations.

TL;DR: A reconsideration of the difference in intergroup interactions between eastern and western chimpanzees is proposed including a more important consideration of the female's perspective and new parallels to be drawn with the evolution of primitive warfare in humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a maximum entropy algorithm and logistic regression to predict the distribution of suitable environmental conditions (SEC) for eight African great ape taxa for a first time period, the 1990s and then project it to a second time period (the 2000s) to assess the relative importance of factors influencing SEC distribution and to estimate rates of SEC loss, isolation and fragmentation over the last two decades.
