Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As our closest primate relatives, chimpanzees offer tantalizing clues about the behavior of early human ancestors. This book provides a rich and detailed portrait of chimpanzee social life in the wild, synthesizing hundreds of thousands of hours of research at seven long-term field sites. Why are the social lives of males and females so different? Why do groups of males sometimes seek out and kill neighboring individuals? Do chimpanzees cooperate when they hunt monkeys? Is their vocal behaviour like human speech? Are there different chimpanzee 'cultures'? Addressing these questions and more, Adam Arcadi presents a fascinating introduction to the chimpanzee social universe and the challenges we face in trying to save this species from extinction. With extensive notes organized by field site and an appendix describing field methods, this book is indispensable for students, researchers, and anyone else interested in the remarkable and complex world of these intelligent apes.
Download or read book Behavioural Diversity in Chimpanzees and Bonobos written by Christophe Boesch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus), otherwise known as pygmy chimpanzees, are the only two species of the genus Pan. As they are our nearest relatives, there has been much research devoted to investigating the similarities and differences between them. This book offers an extensive review of the most recent observations to come from field studies on the diversity of Pan social behaviour, with contributions from many of the world's leading experts in this field. A wide range of social behaviours is discussed including tool use, hunting, reproductive strategies and conflict management as well as demographic variables and ecological constraints. In addition to interspecies behavioural diversity, this text describes exciting new research into variations between different populations of the same species. Researchers and students working in the fields of primatology, anthropology and zoology will find this a fascinating read.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Among polygynous primate groups, females exhibit behavioral strategies, such as copulation initiation, to mediate male aggression. Frequency and timing of female initiation among various primate species differs, often, in association with social organization and female reproductive physiology. I compared patterns of male and female initiated interactions across the sexual swelling cycle among captive chimpanzees and bonobos. Little variation was observed between the two species regarding non-sexual interactions. Males of both species initiated more sexual interactions than females, following the predicted pattern, and female chimpanzees initiated sexual interactions more frequently than female bonobos. Male chimpanzees initiated a greater number of sexual interactions in the swollen phase, while bonobo males did not. This study corroborates evidence from wild populations and contributes to understanding reproductive behavior of these two species.

Download or read book Sleep and Sleep related Behaviors in Chimpanzee Pan Troglodytes written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep behavior is mediated by psychological characteristics, environmental conditions, and various behavioral facilitators and inhibitors of sleep, such as levels of regular physical activity, sleeping site, and posture. Chimpanzee sleeping behavior has been examined only in a limited fashion, and the questions of sleep and bed-building in captive chimpanzees have not been addressed in nearly 30 years. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine sleep and sleep related behavior in captive chimpanzees and the environmental, physical, and social effects on the flexibility of sleep, thus resulting in a more complete picture of sleep in chimpanzees. I also tested various hypotheses for the evolution and development of bed-building in great apes through experimental manipulation of captive chimpanzees. Chimpanzees in this study slept 8.83 hours per night, closer to the averages reported for humans than to previously published averages for chimpanzees. Captive chimpanzee sleep behavior was also characterized with frequent awakenings. Direct social interactions were only occasionally observed. In addition, temperature, humidity, lighting schedules, natural light-dark cycles, and individual age all affected sleep patterns within and across individuals. Wild-born subjects built and used beds significantly more than captive-born subjects. Also, wild-born subjects used more complex techniques during construction and, thus, built higher quality beds. Among captive-born subjects, those that were mother-reared through early adolescence spent more time building and using beds. These differences were primarily driven by females, as both wild-born and captive-born females built and used beds significantly more than males. The results of this dissertation reveal that chimpanzee sleep behaviors are more complicated than were previously thought. Some of the social and environmental contexts under which sleep occurs have been examined, and the factors that affect sleep duration and distribution have been identified. The development and acquisition of one important aspect of sleep behavior, bed-building, has also been identified as a learned behavior that requires early experience and practice for acquisition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the chimpanzee mind is akin to opening a window onto human consciousness. Many of our complex cognitive processes have origins that can be seen in the way that chimpanzees think, learn, and behave. The Mind of the Chimpanzee brings together scores of prominent scientists from around the world to share the most recent research into what goes on inside the mind of our closest living relative. Intertwining a range of topics—including imitation, tool use, face recognition, culture, cooperation, and reconciliation—with critical commentaries on conservation and welfare, the collection aims to understand how chimpanzees learn, think, and feel, so that researchers can not only gain insight into the origins of human cognition, but also crystallize collective efforts to protect wild chimpanzee populations and ensure appropriate care in captive settings. With a breadth of material on cognition and culture from the lab and the field, The Mind of the Chimpanzee is a first-rate synthesis of contemporary studies of these fascinating mammals that will appeal to all those interested in animal minds and what we can learn from them.
Download or read book Nesting and Nighttime Behaviours of Captive Chimpanzees Pan Troglodytes written by L. C. Lock and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of nesting behaviours of free-ranging apes typically focus on ecological variables such as preferred tree species and areas within the home range, heights of nests, and nest group sizes. However, nesting in captive apes is rarely studied, despite the ubiquity of this sleep-related behaviour. The paucity of field data is often attributed to the inherent difficulty in observing what is essentially a nighttime behaviour. Captive settings can provide researchers with an ideal opportunity to record nesting and sleep-related behaviours, yet such research on captive apes is also scant. Topics addressed include current practices in zoos regarding conditions for sleep in great apes, the potential effects of social and environmental factors on sleep site selection, the motor patterns involved in nest construction, preferred nesting structures and substrates, and nocturnal behaviours. This thesis documented and empirically tested hypotheses concerning nest-related activities in captive chimpanzees, with an aim to generate practical recommendations for enclosure design, sleeping areas, sleeping structures, and nesting substrates that have implications for the welfare of captive apes. As with the few reports that already exist, most chimpanzees in this research frequently constructed night nests. When building a nest, some techniques appeared to be universal across individuals and groups, where others were group-specific or occasionally characteristic of only certain individuals. An experiment showed that specific materials are preferred over others for nest building. Many chimpanzees appeared to express persistent preferences for particular sleeping sites, and for some this was to maintain proximity to kin or other closely bonded individuals. In one group, individual sleeping site preferences changed across seasons, although again this was subject to individual differences. Video analyses of nighttime behaviours demonstrated that, although nests/sleep sites are primarily used for rest subsequent to retirement, a number of social and non-social activities were performed throughout the night. In conjunction with analysis of postural and orientation shifts, these data are unique in describing the nocturnal behaviours of chimpanzees out with a laboratory setting. Several aspects of nest-related behaviours showed a high degree of inter-and intra-group variation. Although this cautions against generalising findings across captive populations, research of this type has applied implications for the management of captive ape species, and can add to our as-yet meagre understanding of their nest and sleep-related behaviours.
