Severe Aggression Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Gombe National Park, Tanzania (2008, background): “In 1988– 1992, shortly before the attack on Gremlin and Gaia in 1993, Gremlin resided in the same neighborhood as Gigi, Fifi, and Fanni, and Gremlin’s core area overlapped more completely with the core areas of Fifi and Fanni than with those of any other female (Williams et al. 2002, Fig.”
Dispersal Patterns of Orang-utans (Pongo spp.) in a Bornean Peat-swamp Forest (2011, unknown): “For example, access to known resources is an important factor underlying maintenance of core areas in female chimpanzees (Williams et al. 2002).”
Foraging strategies as a function of season and rank among wild female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) (2006, background): “The detection of habitat quality differences among chimpanzees is particularly striking because female core areas are extremely overlapped (Wrangham and Smuts 1980; Williams et al. 2002).”
Dominance rank influences female space use in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes : towards an ideal despotic distribution (2007, unknown): “Since mothers and daughters have high levels of association, mother/daughter pairs with nonadult offspring were still considered ‘alone’ (following Wrangham & Smuts 1980; Goodall 1986; Williams et al. 2002a).”
Influence of Ecological and Social Factors on Body Mass of Wild Chimpanzees (2005, methodology): “Their range size then started to contract in 1979 as the powerful Kalande community pushed its range north, and it was smallest (5.3 km2) in 1981 before starting to expand again to its current large size (Goodall, 1986; Williams et al., 2002, 2004).”
Grouping Patterns and Competition Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “At Gombe (Pusey 1980, 1990) and Mahale (Nishida 1989), newly immigrated females received frequent aggression from resident females.”
Core area quality is associated with variance in reproductive success among female chimpanzees at Kibale National Park (2007, unknown): “Core areas cluster into localized ‘neighbourhoods’ within the community range (Williams et al. 2002).”
Correlates of territorial boundary patrol behaviour in wild chimpanzees (2005, background): “…studies of chimpanzees at Gombe and Mahale (Goodall et al. 1979; Nishida et al. 1985; Goodall 1986), secondary transfer by chimpanzee females is rare (Wrangham 1999), and females may shift or contract their ranges rather than transfer in response to territorial aggression (Williams et al. 2002).”
Association patterns among wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) reflect sex differences in cooperation (2008, unknown): “There is growing evidence that female East African chimpanzees increase their fitness by establishing core areas in high-quality areas of the community range (Pusey et al. 1997; Williams et al. 2002a; Emery Thompson et al. 2007; Murray et al. 2007).”
Use of overlap zones among group-living primates: a test of the risk hypothesis (2007, background): “These could be important by providing opportunities for some individuals, such as solitaries of either sex, to center their foraging effort in overlap zones rather than living in ordinary groups (e.g., Williams et al., 2002).”
To fission or to fusion: effects of community size on wild chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) social organisation (2004, background): “…the frequent changes in party size and composition found in large communities; thus, chimpanzee social organisation most probably is adapted to several needs (Boesch 1996), including social benefits such as socialising of offspring (Chapman et al. 1994; Newton-Fisher 1999; Williams et al. 2002).”
Female Competition over Core Areas in Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “At Kanyawara, resident attacks on immigrants never resulted in serious injuries to them, but at Gombe, resident females of the Mitumba community repeatedly attacked an immigrant from the Kasekala community so severely that she suffered extensive wounds (Pusey et al. 2008).”
The self-domestication hypothesis: evolution of bonobo psychology is due to selection against aggression (2012, background): “Male chimpanzees use aggression routinely to compete for dominance rank, fight for resources and intimidate females (Goodall 1986; Muller 2002; Watts & Mitani 2002; Wilson et al. 2002; Muller et al. 2007).”
INTERGROUP RELATIONS IN CHIMPANZEES (2003, background): “Entry of data into increasingly powerful computer systems is enabling researchers to examine long-term ranging and grouping data in unprecedented detail (e.g., Williams et al. 2002b).”
