Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are the only great apes that inhabit hot, dry, and open
savannas. We review the environmental pressures of savannas on chimpanzees, such as …

Over the last 30 years, most research on non-human primate gestural communication has
been produced by psychologists, which has shaped the questions asked and the methods …

Bipedalism, a defining feature of the human lineage, is thought to have evolved as forests
retreated in the late Miocene-Pliocene. Chimpanzees living in analogous habitats to early …

Adaptations associated with shifting from a predominately forested habitat to a more open
environment are considered a crucial step in hominin evolution. Understanding how …

Savanna-mosaic habitats are thought to represent exceptional circumstances for
chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), and owing to the virtues of their habitat as well as peripheral …

In 1994, Hunt published the 'postural feeding hypothesis'—a seminal paper on the origins of
hominin bipedalism—founded on the detailed study of chimpanzee positional behavior and …

The modern human hand is an intriguing mix of primitive morphology and derived function.
Traditionally, its form and function are explained as a functional “trade‐off” between the …

Drones are being increasingly used in conservation to tackle the illegal poaching of animals.
An important aspect of using drones for this purpose is establishing the technological and …

Chimpanzees, like all great ape species, have experienced a dramatic decline in global
numbers during the past decades. The degradation, fragmentation and loss of suitable …

Understanding the ecological and behavioral variation of primates is central to improving
conservation strategies. Studies of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) have shown marked …
