Fission–fusion social systems as a strategy for coping with ecological constraints: a primate case (2007, background): “In addition, observational data suggest that, overall, chimpanzees spend only relatively little time feeding on monopolisable items (e.g. Wittig and Boesch 2003).”
Social dynamics among females and their influence on social structure in an East African chimpanzee community (2013, unknown): “…mean DAI, association frequencies within female cliques were comparable to those of West African Taï females (Boesch & Boesch-Achermann 2000; Wittig & Boesch 2003), which are highly gregarious and form stable bonds and friendships (Boesch & Boesch-Achermann 2000; Lehmann & Boesch 2008), and…”
Dominance in relation to age, sex, and competitive contexts in a group of free-ranging domestic dogs (2010, background): “…subordinates in an array of animal species (e.g., red deer, Cervus elaphus, Appleby 1980; rhesus monkeys, M. mulatta, Deutsch and Lee 1991; olive baboons, Papio anubis, Barton and Whiten 1993; chimpanzees, P. troglodytes, Wittig and Boesch 2003; and brown bears, Ursus arctos, Gende and Quinn 2004).”
Sociality of the dispersing sex: The nature of social bonds in West African female chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes (2009, unknown): “Rank relationships were obtained directly from Lehmann & Boesch (2005) and Wittig & Boesch (2003).”
Core area quality is associated with variance in reproductive success among female chimpanzees at Kibale National Park (2007, unknown): “…than do Kanyawara chimpanzees (Lehmann & Boesch 2003, 2005); they also show more clearly defined rank relationships in the context of feeding competition (Boesch 1997; Wittig & Boesch 2003), with higher-ranking females ranging further and making more use of peripheral areas (Lehmann & Boesch 2005).”
Grouping Patterns and Competition Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “…of association within female cliques are comparable to the association levels among Taï females in West Africa (Boesch and BoeschAchermann 2000; Wittig and Boesch 2003), which are highly gregarious, forming stable bonds and friendships (Boesch and Boesch-Achermann 2000), and to Lomako bonobo…”
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.”
Female Competition over Core Areas in Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, unknown): “Taï females are more gregarious (Boesch 1996) and have more clearly defined dominance relationships, including a linear female hierarchy (Wittig and Boesch 2003), suggesting that competition over individual food sources may be more important than competition over space there.”
The relation between social rank, neophobia and individual learning in starlings (2006, unknown): “In contrast, agonistic and competitive rank orders were shown to agree in other studies of some of the aforementioned and other species (e.g. Richards 1974; Syme et al. 1974; Vervaecke et al. 1999; Wittig & Boesch 2003).”
Immigration costs for female chimpanzees and male protection as an immigrant counterstrategy to intrasexual aggression (2008, unknown): “Positive correlations between age and female rank have been reported in chimpanzees without taking community tenure into account (Pusey et al. 1997; Wittig & Boesch 2003; Murray et al. 2006).”
Dominance rank influences female space use in wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes : towards an ideal despotic distribution (2007, unknown): “Wittig & Boesch (2003) suggest that this may reflect more intense competition at Ta€ı than at other sites coupled with increased predation risk.”
