TL;DR: It is found that males were the most frequent attackers and victims; most killings involved intercommunity attacks; and attackers greatly outnumbered their victims (median 8:1 ratio).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of culture: do environmental factors influence foraging tool use in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus?
TL;DR: The influence of environmental factors on foraging tool use among chimpanzees at the Seringbara study site in the Nimba Mountains, Guinea, where nut cracking and termite fishing are absent, but ant dipping is present is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chimpanzee mothers at Bossou, Guinea carry the mummified remains of their dead infants
TL;DR: Two further infant deaths at Bossou are recounted, observed over a decade after the original episode but with striking similarities, suggesting a phylogenetic continuity for a behavior that is poignant testament to the close mother-infant bond which extends across different primate taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nest-Building by Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) at Seringbara, Nimba Mountains: Antipredation, Thermoregulation, and Antivector Hypotheses
TL;DR: Chimpanzees were selective in their choice of nest sites, locations, and materials, and tree-nesting patterns at Seringbara were best explained by a thermoregulation strategy of humidity avoidance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology of primate material culture.
TL;DR: It is argued that a better understanding of primate technology requires explicit investigation of the role of ecological conditions, and a model in which three sets of factors, namely environment, sociality and cognition, influence invention, transmission and retention of material culture is proposed.
