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).”
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).”
Socioecological adaptations by chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, inhabiting an anthropogenically impacted habitat (2012, background): “…of sexually receptive females, demographic factors such as community size and sex ratio, and potential threats including predators (Goodall 1986; Boesch & Boesch-Achermann 2000; Newton-Fisher et al. 2000; Hashimoto et al. 2001, 2003; Anderson et al. 2002; Mitani et al. 2002; Reynolds 2005).”
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.”
Risk-prone hunting by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) increases during periods of high diet quality (2007, unknown): “…with chimpanzee party size (Stanford et al. 1994; Mitani and Watts 2001; Watts and Mitani 2002a; Gilby et al. 2006), which is positively correlated with fruit availability (Goodall 1986; Chapman et al. 1994; Matsumoto-Oda et al. 1998; Wrangham 2000; Anderson et al. 2002; Mitani et al. 2002).”
Dominance, aggression and testosterone in wild chimpanzees: a test of the ‘challenge hypothesis’ (2004, background): “Parties containing maximally swollen females tend to contain more males (Wrangham 2000; Mitani et al. 2002).”
Dietary and Energetic Responses of Pongo abelii to Fruit Availability Fluctuations (2006, background): “…C© 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC (Buij et al., 2002; Olupot, 1997), party size (Anderson et al., 2002; Chapman et al., 1995; Mitani et al., 2002), or timing of births (Butyunski, 1988; Di Bitetti and Janson, 2000; Lindburg, 1987; Nakawaga, 2000; van Schaik and van…”
Fission–fusion social systems as a strategy for coping with ecological constraints: a primate case (2007, background): “Chimpanzee party size has been linked to predation pressure (Boesch 1991; Sakura 1994), number of receptive females in a party (e.g. Goodall 1986; Mitani et al. 2002a), food availability (e.g. Anderson et al. 2002; Chapman et al. 1994; Itani and Suzuki 1967; Wrangham 1986b) and demographic factors…”
To fission or to fusion: effects of community size on wild chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) social organisation (2004, background): “…et al. 1994; Matsumoto-Oda et al. 1998; Anderson et al. 2002), predation pressure (e.g. Boesch 1991; Sakura 1994) and the presence of cycling females in a community (Goodall 1986; Matsumoto-Oda 1999; Boesch and Boesch-Achermann 2000; Hashimoto et al. 2001; Anderson et al. 2002; Mitani et al. 2002).”
Correlates of territorial boundary patrol behaviour in wild chimpanzees (2005, background): “Large, noisy parties typically form at this site (Mitani et al. 2002a), and the conspicuous change in the movements and behaviour of individuals during a patrol is dramatic.”
Influence of Ecological and Social Factors on Body Mass of Wild Chimpanzees (2005, background): “Debate continues about the relative importance of food availability, the presence of sexually receptive females, or predation risk in determining party size (Wrangham, 2000; Anderson et al., 2002; Mitani et al., 2002).”
Ranging Patterns of Chimpanzees in a Montane Forest of Kahuzi, Democratic Republic of Congo (2005, background): “The smallest chimpanzee unit-group (n = 20) was at Bossou, (Sakura, 1994), whereas the largest unit-group was at Kibale n > 140: (Mitani et al., 2002).”
Female Competition over Core Areas in Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “As a result of flexible grouping, chimpanzees can easily avoid direct conflicts over food by traveling in smaller parties or alone when food becomes scarce (e.g., Mitani et al. 2002).”
Fission‐Fusion Dynamics (2008, background): “…methodological improvement for the recognition of nonrandom association patterns has been made (supplement A), and several socioecological factors influencing party size have been identified (e.g., Chapman, Wrangham, and Chapman 1995; Lehmann and Boesch 2004; Mitani, Watts, and Lwanga 2002).”
Economic Profitability of Social Predation Among Wild Chimpanzees: Individual Variation Promotes Cooperation (2008, background): “…this ‘hunt-for-sex’ ideawas correct it could intheory explain why hunts are more likely in large parties, since sexually receptive females are a well-known predictor of party size (Stanford et al. 1994b; Matsumoto-Oda 1999; Anderson et al. 2002; Mitani et al. 2002; Emery Thompson & Wrangham 2006).”
