Association patterns among wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) reflect sex differences in cooperation (2008, unknown): “Males also communally hunt red colobus monkeys (Procolobus spp.), although there is debate over the degree to which this is cooperative (Boesch 1994; Mitani and Watts 2001; Boesch 2002; Gilby et al. 2006, 2008 ).”
Dominance rank influences female space use in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes : towards an ideal despotic distribution (2007, unknown): “bases, we used a distance of 400 m, which exceeded the limitations of our data set (mean location error 1⁄4 133 m; Gilby et al. 2006).”
Economic Profitability of Social Predation Among Wild Chimpanzees: Individual Variation Promotes Cooperation (2008, background): “Nevertheless, our rejection of the male social bonding hypothesis is consistent with data from Gombe, where the hunting rates of focal males were not affected by male party size (Gilby et al. 2006), which was correlated with the presence of a closely bonded partner in our study.”
Risk-prone hunting by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) increases during periods of high diet quality (2007, unknown): “The failure rate is roughly 50% at Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire (Boesch and Boesch-Achermann 2000) and Gombe National Park, Tanzania (Gilby et al. 2006) and 16% at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (Mitani and Watts 2001).”
Foraging strategies as a function of season and rank among wild female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) (2006, background): “A previous study from Gombe also reported a significant negative correlation between monthly average body mass and the consumption of leaves and pith (Gilby et al. 2006).”
Ecological and social factors affect the occurrence and outcomes of intergroup encounters in chimpanzees (2012, unknown): “Male chimpanzees are not fully grown until they are 14e15 years old (Pusey 1990), but by age 12, they usually travel independently and can hunt successfully (Gilby et al. 2006), and thus may contribute significantly to group fighting ability.”
