Dispersal Patterns of Orang-utans (Pongo spp.) in a Bornean Peat-swamp Forest (2011, unknown): “Chimpanzees exhibit male philopatry, possibly because of higher reproductive success from forming alliances whereby males form cooperative hunting groups that also participate in territorial defence (Boesch 2002; De Waal 2007; Ghiglieri 1987; Mitani, et al. 2002; Mitani and Watts 2001).”
Association patterns among wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) reflect sex differences in cooperation (2008, unknown): “Following Mitani et al. (2002), we log-transformed the observed/expected values so that above- and below-expected values would be weighted equally in the matrix analyses (log(x) and log(1/x) have the same absolute value, but different sign).”
Fission–fusion social systems as a strategy for coping with ecological constraints: a primate case (2007, background): “The largest known chimpanzee community to date has around 150 members (Mitani et al. 2002b), as compared to the largest predicted community of 122 individuals.”
Male chimpanzees form enduring and equitable social bonds (2009, unknown): “DNA was subsequently extracted and amplified in the laboratory (Bradley et al. 2000; Morin et al. 2001).”
Conflict and Cooperation in Wild Chimpanzees (2005, background): “The failure to show a strong effect of kinship may reflect demographic constraints that limit the number of kin with whom males can cooperate (Mitani et al., 2002c).”
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) modify grouping and vocal behaviour in response to location-specific risk (2007, unknown): “Chimpanzee social structure and vocal communication Chimpanzees live in communities of up to 150 individuals (Mitani et al., 2002) but spend most of their time in smaller parties of varying size and composition.”
Kinship and behavior in primates (2004, methodology): “, the Mantel, Kr, and Zr tests) are increasingly being used for behavioral data that are not independent (e.g., Schnell et al. 1985; de Waal & Luttrell 1986; Smouse et al. 1986; Hemelrijk 1990a, b; de Waal 1991; de Vries 1993; Sambrook et al. 1995; Silk et al. 1999; Watts 2000a, b; Mitani et al. 200”
Social dynamics among females and their influence on social structure in an East African chimpanzee community (2013, methodology): “To construct the behaviour matrices I used the pairwise affinity index (PAI: Pepper et al. 1999; Mitani et al. 2002b): AB P siðsi 1Þ= P Aiðsi 1Þ P Biðsi 1Þ.”
Grouping Patterns and Competition Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “The research period for the study by Mitani et al. (2002a) included a period of fruit scarcity more extreme than anything experienced during my study, which could in part explain the different results and lend further support to the hypothesis of Hashimoto et al. (2003).”
