Fruit‐feeding and activity patterns of mountain gorillas ( Gorilla beringei beringei ) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda
OBJECTIVES: Availability of fruit is an important factor influencing variation in great ape foraging strategies and activity patterns. This study aims to quantify how frugivory influences activity budgets across age-sex classes of mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Daily proportions of fruit-feeding and activity budgets were calculated using 6 years of observational data on four habituated group…
Unexpected terrestrial hand posture diversity in wild mountain gorillas
OBJECTIVES: Gorillas, along with chimpanzees and bonobos, are ubiquitously described as 'knuckle-walkers.' Consequently, knuckle-walking (KW) has been featured pre-eminently in hypotheses of the pre-bipedal locomotor behavior of hominins and in the evolution of locomotor behavior in apes. However, anecdotal and behavioral accounts suggest that mountain gorillas may utilize a more complex repertoire of hand postures, which could alter current inte…
