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).

TL;DR: Two important questions that arise are addressed, exploring why females of such closely related species show such clear differences in behavior and whether or not the behavioral characteristics of female bonobos contribute to the peaceful nature of bonobo society.

TL;DR: In the unit-group of Pan paniscus, females usually stay in the party irrespective of their estrous state as discussed by the authors, and older females tend to aggregate in the center of the party; and, females in old age become important members of the unit group, both as the targets of association for younger females and as the mothers of highranking males.

TL;DR: As the dominance status of females is similar to that of males, mothers may be able to support their sons to achieve high status, stay in the center of the mixed party, and so have greater access to females, which may maximize the number of descendants of the mothers.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the fruit of Musanga leo-errerae functions as a fallback food, and a combination of different vegetation types supports the chimpanzees in the Kalinzu Forest.
