Ranging Patterns of Chimpanzees in a Montane Forest of Kahuzi, Democratic Republic of Congo (2005, background): “Ficus trees occur at low density (0.7 tree/ha) in the study area ( Basabose and Yamagiwa, 2002 ), so chimpanzees might have to range widely in the secondary forest to forage for ficus fruits.”
Ape Abundance and Habitat Use in the Goualougo Triangle, Republic of Congo (2006, background): “Contrary to reports of mutual avoidance from other sites, we observed neutral interactions between chimpanzees and gorillas at foraging intersections and sleeping sites (Basabose and Yamagiwa, 2002).”
Nest-Building by Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) at Seringbara, Nimba Mountains: Antipredation, Thermoregulation, and Antivector Hypotheses (2012, background): “Bonobos at Lomako, DRC (Fruth and Hohmann 1993), and chimpanzees at Ugalla, Tanzania (Hernandez-Aguilar 2009), also preferred smaller leaves.”
Diet of Grauer's Gorillas in the Montane Forest of Kahuzi, Democratic Republic of Congo (2005, background): “Small parties of chimpanzees tended to avoid nesting in trees bearing ripe fruits preferred by gorillas in the secondary forest (Basabose and Yamagiwa, 2002).”
