Ecological and social influences on the hunting behaviour of wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii (2006, background): “Meat may not be distributed evenly among party members (Goodall 1986; Nishida et al. 1992; Boesch 1994; Stanford et al. 1994b; Watts & Mitani 2002a), and the hunter that kills the prey may consume more meat than average (Boesch 1994; Boesch & Boesch-Achermann 2000 ).”
Sophisticated Euclidean maps in forest chimpanzees (2009, methodology): “We collected data on the chimpanzees of the south group of the Taı̈ chimpanzee project in the Taı̈ National Park, Côte d’Ivoire (Boesch & Boesch-Achermann 2000; Boesch et al. 2006, 2008).”
The Biology of Traditions: Traditions in wild white-faced capuchin monkeys (2003, unknown): “…in Japanese macaques, practically all subsequent research on social learning in wild nonhuman primates has been on apes (e.g. Boesch, 1996a,b; Boesch and Boesch-Achermann, 2000; Boesch and Tomasello, 1998; Huffman and Hirata, this volume; McGrew, 1992, 1998; van Schaik, Deaner, and Merrill,…”
Immigration costs for female chimpanzees and male protection as an immigrant counterstrategy to intrasexual aggression (2008, unknown): “It has previously been suggested that male chimpanzees protect immigrants from hostile resident females (Pusey 1980; Wrangham 1986; Nishida 1989; Boesch & Boesch-Achermann 2000).”
Territory Characteristics among Three Neighboring Chimpanzee Communities in the Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire (2001, unknown): “Since a patrolling party mostly consists of males and therefore is smaller than the average party size in Taı̈ (about ten individuals), chances of being outnumbered when encountering neighbors are high and make direct confrontations risky (Boesch and Boesch-Achermann, 2000).”
Chimpanzees use long-term spatial memory to monitor large fruit trees and remember feeding experiences across seasons (2013, background): “of new trees fed in per year 1690 Estimated age of oldest target female, in years 39 Likely age of dispersion, in years (Goodall 1986; Boesch and Boesch-Achermann 2000) 11”
Ape Abundance and Habitat Use in the Goualougo Triangle, Republic of Congo (2006, background): “Chimpanzees live in communities with an exclusive membership that utilizes a specific home range (Boesch and Boesch-Achermann, 2000; Goodall, 1986; Herbinger et al., 2001).”
Fission–fusion social systems as a strategy for coping with ecological constraints: a primate case (2007, background): “However, many chimpanzee populations, which now have low community sizes, had much larger communities when they were ﬁrst habituated and have since declined due to a combination of human encroachment, hunting and epidemic disease (Boesch and Boesch-Achermann 2000; Greengrass 2000; Nishida 1990).”
Dominance rank influences female space use in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes : towards an ideal despotic distribution (2007, unknown): “Mothers with dependent offspring may have smaller day ranges, presumably because of increased travel costs associated with carrying infants ( Boesch & Boesch-Achermann 2000; Wrangham 2000; Williams et al. 2002b; but see Lehmann & Boesch 2005).”
The gap is social: Human shared intentionality and culture (2010, background): “Boesch and colleagues (Boesch and Boesch 1989; Boesch and Boesch-Achermann 2000; Boesch 2005) have observed chimpanzees in the Taı̈ forest hunting in groups for arboreal prey, mainly monkeys.”
A theory of human life history evolution: Diet, intelligence, and longevity (2000, background): “Although it is true that chimpanzee males eat much more meat than do females and juveniles, 20–22 we conclude that, in general, members of foraging societies eat more than ten times as much meat as do chimpanzees.”
Do friends help each other? Patterns of female coalition formation in wild bonobos at Wamba (2016, background): “Although wild female chimpanzees rarely form coalitions, female coalitions are observed relatively often at some sites where females are more gregarious (e.g. Boesch & Boesch-Achermann, 2000; Newton-Fisher, 2006).”
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) modify grouping and vocal behaviour in response to location-specific risk (2007, unknown): “Second, chimpanzees may refrain from producing loud vocalizations in the periphery, in order to reduce the risk of being detected by hostile neighbours (Goodall et al., 1979; Nishida, 1979; Boesch & Boesch-Achermann, 2000; Mitani & Watts, 2005).”
