Determining 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 کاملChimpanzee 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 کاملCauses of death in the Kasekela chimpanzees of Gombe National Park, Tanzania.
Understanding the rates and causes of mortality in wild chimpanzee populations has important implications for a variety of fields, including wildlife conservation and human evolution. Because chimpanzees are long-lived, accurate mortality data requires very long-term studies. Here, we analyze 47 years of data on the Kasekela community in Gombe National Park. Community size fluctuated between 38...
متن کاملAnalysis of a bone assemblage made by chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, Tanzania.
Chimpanzee hunting provides information on prey characteristics and constraints acting on a large-bodied primate lacking a hunting technology, and has important implications for modeling hunting by fossil hominids. Analysis of the remains of five red colobus monkeys captured and consumed by Gombe chimpanzees in a single hunting bout provides one of the first opportunities to investigate the cha...
