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.

TL;DR: The IUCN SSC Ape Populations, Environments and Surveys (A.P.E.S) database as mentioned in this paper was created as a repository for data on great apes and other primate taxa.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dataset of 17,109 chimpanzee survey transects (10,929 km) across nine countries and linked them to a range of social and ecological variables, and found that the western chimpanzee seemed to persist within three social-ecological configurations: first, rainforest habitats with a low degree of human impact, second, steep areas, and third, areas with high prevalence of hunting taboos.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the findings of a biodiversity survey of three forests as part of the Liberia Forestry Initiative, an effort to rehabilitate and reform Liberia's threatened woodlands.
