Chimpanzee Cultures and Chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains
Chimpanzee Cultures is an edited volume based on the work of many well known researchers including de Waal, Goodall, McGrew, and Wrangham who have all spent decades studying chimpanzees. The work summarizes material presented at two conferences allowing material from wild and captive studies to be integrated and assessed. As the title of the book suggests this work is focussed on those aspects ...
متن کاملDetermining fecal bacterial profiles of a human-habituated wild chimpanzee population in Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania
Intestinal flora of wild chimpanzee has not been studied. Fecal flora analyses currently give insight to this environment. We collected 1 fecal sample from each of 12 human-habituated wild chimpanzees from Mahale Mountains National Park, 4 individuals in each of 3 age groups: juveniles, sub-adults, and adults. We analyzed samples for bacterial diversity using Terminal-Restriction Fragment Lengt...
متن کاملPositional behavior of Pan troglodytes in the Mahale Mountains and Gombe Stream National Parks, Tanzania.
The positional behavior of habituated adult chimpanzees and baboons was observed for 784 hr in a year-long study. Comparisons between species were made to establish the distinctiveness of chimpanzee positional behavior and habitat use. Brachiation (sensu stricto, i.e., hand-over-hand suspensory locomotion) was observed in low frequencies among chimpanzees, and its significance for chimpanzee an...
متن کاملFrugivory and the Fate of Dispersed and Non-Dispersed Seeds of Six African Tree Species
The relationship between seedling recruitment (under and away from parent trees) and the behaviour of seed dispersers and predators, was explored in a three-year study in Kibale National Park, Uganda. On the basis of 1261 hours of observation, the foraging activity of the diurnal frugivores which fed on fruit from six tree species was quantified. The fate of dispersed and non-dispersed seeds an...
متن کاملHolocentromeres are dispersed point centromeres localized at transcription factor hotspots
Centromeres vary greatly in size and sequence composition, ranging from 'point' centromeres with a single cenH3-containing nucleosome to 'regional' centromeres embedded in tandemly repeated sequences to holocentromeres that extend along the length of entire chromosomes. Point centromeres are defined by sequence, whereas regional and holocentromeres are epigenetically defined by the location of ...
