Severe Aggression Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Gombe National Park, Tanzania (2008, background): “Rank correlates significantly with several measures of foraging efficiency (Kahlenberg 2006; Murray et al. 2006; Pusey et al. 2005; Wittig and Boesch 2003) and reproductive success (Pusey et al.”
Conflict and Cooperation in Wild Chimpanzees (2005, background): “First, long‐term data on chimpanzee weights show that in years when the community range was larger, the density of chimpanzees was lower, and mean weights were higher (Pusey et al., 2005).”
Risk-prone hunting by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) increases during periods of high diet quality (2007, unknown): “In contrast, chimpanzees at Gombe hunted more frequently during the dry season (Stanford et al. 1994; Gilby 2004) when body masses tend to be low (Pusey et al. 2005), supporting the scarcity/risk hypothesis.”
Ecological and social influences on the hunting behaviour of wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii (2006, methodology): “When possible, all chimpanzees that visited an artificial feeding area were weighed at least once a month during three periods: 1970–1985, 1991–1994 and 1996–2000 (for more detail, see Pusey et al. 2005 ).”
Bearded capuchin monkeys' and a human's efficiency at cracking palm nuts with stone tools: field experiments (2010, background): “Goodall (1986; also see Pusey et al. 2005) had earlier pioneered using a suspension scale with a climbing rope to weigh wild chimpanzees.”
Life History and Reproductive Strategies of Khao Yai Hylobates lar: Implications for Social Evolution in Apes (2008, unknown): “Data Source: 1 = Smith and Jungers 1997 2 = Kappeler and Pereira 2003 3 = Pusey et al. 2005 4 = Carter et al. 2008 5 = Uehara and Nishida 1987 6 = this study 7 = Wich et al. 2004 8 = Robbins et al. 2004 9 = Ross 1988, 2004 10 = Nishida et al. 2003 11 = Harvey et al. 1987 12 = Barelli et al. 2007…”
Dominance rank influences female space use in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes : towards an ideal despotic distribution (2007, unknown): “1997), high-ranking females have higher and more constant body mass (Pusey et al. 2005), and low-ranking females forage less efficiently: they eat a lower quality diet, have a greater diet breadth, and spend more time foraging (Murray et al.”
Ecological and social factors affect the occurrence and outcomes of intergroup encounters in chimpanzees (2012, unknown): “2004), and, controlling for sex, age and reproductive status, individuals weighed more (Pusey et al. 2005).”
Immigration costs for female chimpanzees and male protection as an immigrant counterstrategy to intrasexual aggression (2008, unknown): “In chimpanzees, low-ranking females suffer various feeding and fitness disadvantages (Pusey et al. 1997, 2005; Kahlenberg 2006; Murray et al. 2006, 2007a; Kahlenberg et al. 2008).”
Skeletal and dental growth and development in chimpanzees of the Taï National Park, Côte D'Ivoire (2007, background): “Previous studies have shown that captive chimpanzees mature earlier in body mass (Pusey, 1978; Hamada et al., 1996; Leigh & Shea, 1996; Pusey et al., 2005), in trunk length (Hamada & Udono, 2002), in limb length (Kimura & Hamada, 1996), in dental eruption (Zihlman et al., 2004) and in reproduction…”
Foraging strategies as a function of season and rank among wild female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) (2006, methodology): “Party sizes are smaller (Gombe: Wrangham 1977; Tai: Boesch 1996; Doran 1997; Mahale: Matsumoto-Oda et al. 1998), activity periods are longer (Gombe: Lodwick et al. 2004), and body mass decreases (Mahale: Uehara and Nishida 1987; Gombe: Pusey et al. 2005).”
Grouping Patterns and Competition Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “…Struhsaker 1997) probably reduces feeding competition and can support the higher density of females vs. sites with more disturbed, patchy, and edge habitats that experience marked lean fruit seasons, such as Gombe (Pusey et al. 2005; Williams et al. 2002b) and Kanyawara (Chapman et al. 2000, 1999).”
Core area quality is associated with variance in reproductive success among female chimpanzees at Kibale National Park (2007, unknown): “However, it is difficult to imagine this effect acting independently of subsequent effects of differing dietary quality, given that adult chimpanzee body weights can show significant seasonal weight fluctuations (Pusey et al. 2005).”
Female Competition over Core Areas in Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “High-ranking female chimpanzees enjoy feeding and fitness advantages over subordinates (Greengrass 2005; Murray et al. 2006; Pusey et al. 1997, 2005), but the reason for it within chimpanzee fission-fusion society has so far been unclear.”
Socioecological influences on the reproductive success of female mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) (2007, background): “A more plausible explanation for the rank differences in FRS is that both measurements covary with the mother’s physical condition (Pusey et al. 2005).”
