Chimpanzees Preferentially Select Sleeping Platform Construction Tree Species with Biomechanical Properties that Yield Stable, Firm, but Compliant Nests
The daily construction of a sleeping platform or "nest" is a universal behavior among large-bodied hominoids. Among chimpanzees, most populations consistently select particular tree species for nesting, yet the principles that guide species preferences are poorly understood. At Semliki, Cynometra alexandri constitutes only 9.6% of all trees in the gallery forest in which the study populations r...

متن کاملChimpanzee nesting patterns in savanna habitat: environmental influences and preferences.
Data on chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) nesting patterns were collected in Issa, Ugalla, western Tanzania. Ugalla is one of the driest, most open, and seasonal habitats inhabited by chimpanzees. We investigated the physical characteristics of nests and trees used for nesting to understand environmental influences on nest building and identify the characteristics preferred by the chimpanzees and th...
متن کاملA new bee species that excavates sandstone nests
Humanity has long been fascinated by animals with apparently unfavorable lifestyles [1]. Nesting habits are especially important because they can limit where organisms live, thereby driving population, community, and even ecosystem dynamics [2]. The question arises, then, why bees nest in active termite mounds [3] or on the rim of degassing volcanoes, seemingly preferring such hardship [4]. Her...
متن کاملSelf-stable Omnidirectional Walking with Compliant Joints
Bipedal walking is one of the most essential skills in humanoid robot soccer. A stable and fast gait gives teams a winning edge when their robots are the first at the ball, maintain ball control with sure feet, and drive the ball decisively towards the opponent goal. The most successful teams in the Humanoid League are typically characterized by reliably walking robots. In this contribution, we...
