Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation (2012, background): “7 Whiten et al. (2005) claimed that in their study individuals of a chimpanzee group shifted their problem-solving strategy as a result of observing demonstrators.”
Comparative Feeding Ecology of Two Communities of Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in Kibale National Park, Uganda (2011, background): “The Ngogo community is the largest ever known, with ca. 155 individuals (Mitani and Watts 1999; Watts 1998; Watts and Mitani 2002 ).”
Reply to comments. Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation: The Interdependence Hypothesis (2012, background): “The one potential exception is the group hunting of monkeys by some (but not all) groups of chimpanzees (Boesch and Boesch 1989; Watts and Mitani 2002).”
Conflict and Cooperation in Wild Chimpanzees (2005, background): “Observers at Gombe, Mahale, and Ngogo report that the distinction between hunters and bystanders is not clear cut, as chimpanzees often switch between pursuing prey and standing by during the same hunt (Hosaka et al., 2001; Stanford, 1998; Watts and Mitani, 2002).”
Evolutionary Consequences of Fallback Foods (2007, methodology): “References: 1, Wrangham et al. 1998; 2, Leighton 1993; 3, Knott 1998; 4, Tutin et al. 1991; 5, Watts and Mitani 2002; 6, Marshall 2004; 7, Davies et al. 1988. variation in the specific methods for calculating preference (Chesson 1978, 1983; Johnson 1980).”
Interspecific Interactions Between Cebus capucinus and Other Species: Data from Three Costa Rican Sites (2003, background): “By far the best-known predatorprey interactions are those between chimpanzees and red colobus (Boesch, 1994; Stanford, 1998; Watts and Mitani, 2002).”
Grouping Patterns and Competition Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “Researchers have continuously observed Ngogo chimpanzees since 1995, focusing primarily on males (Mitani and Amsler 2003; Mitani et al. 2000, 2002b; Watts 1998, 2002; Watts and Mitani 2001, 2002).”
Human Culture in Evolutionary Perspective (2010, background): “In some groups the hunt resembles a kind of helter-skelter chase in which multiple individuals attempt to capture the monkey with little if any coordination (e.g., at Gombe: Stanford, 1998 ; Ngogo: Watts & Mitani, 2002 ).”
Coordination of Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in a Stag Hunt Game (2011, background): “Another context in which coordination becomes a major issue is during chimpanzees’ group hunting (Watts and Mitani 2002), which poses special challenges.”
Activity and Ranging Patterns of Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii in Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda: Possible Costs of Large Group Size (2007, background): “With the recent successful habituation of a chimpanzee community at Nyungwe, a possible link between chimpanzee predation risk and large group size in Angolan colobus deserves investigation, particularly because red colobus, the prey favored by chimpanzees in other African forests (Boesch and Boesch”
Economic Profitability of Social Predation Among Wild Chimpanzees: Individual Variation Promotes Cooperation (2008, background): “Qualitatively, however, collaboration has been judged to be ‘rare’ at Ngogo ( Watts & Mitani 2002b ) and Gombe (Busse 1977; Boesch 1994b).”
Risk-prone hunting by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) increases during periods of high diet quality (2007, unknown): “Both at Ngogo and Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania, hunting frequency was high during periods when ripe fruit was plentiful (Mahale: Nishida et al. 1979; Takahata et al. 1984; Ngogo: Mitani and Watts 2001; Watts and Mitani 2002a, b).”
Ecological and social influences on the hunting behaviour of wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii (2006, background): “Chimpanzees at Gombe and Ngogo were most likely to hunt and succeed in areas with broken canopy and/or secondary growth (Wrangham 1975; Stanford et al. 1994b; Watts & Mitani 2002b ).”
