An overlooked hotspot
The Gulf of Guinea rainforests, renowned for exceptional primate endemism, are increasingly fragmented and face severe hunting-induced defaunation. However, the long-term persistence of primate assemblages in these hunted forests remains understudied. The unprotected Ebo–Ndokbou–Makombe landscape, designated the Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area (YKBA), represents one of the region’s largest remaining forest tracts, yet its primate community is large…
Patterns of Technical Variation in Chimpanzee Termite Fishing Behavior in Mbam and Djerem National Park, Cameroon
Chimpanzees exhibit considerable inter‐ and intra‐community variation in cognitively complex tool use behaviors, often attributed to social, genetic, and environmental factors. Termite fishing is a well‐documented chimpanzee tool‐using behavior that has been the subject of comparative research exploring behavioral variation between chimpanzee communities. However, termite fishing in the Nigeria‐Cameroon chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ellioti ) has …
Population Status, Threats, and Conservation of Preuss’s Red Colobus (Piliocolobus preussi) and Other Diurnal Primates in the Ndokbou-Makombe Forests, Cameroon
Primate populations worldwide are experiencing rapid declines due to habitat loss, degradation, and overexploitation. These pressures are particularly severe across sub-Saharan Africa and the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot, which supports several threatened and endemic species. The Ebo-Makombe-Ndokbou forests in southwestern Cameroon contain critical habitat for several of these species, including the Critically Endangered Preuss’s red colob…
Future coexistence with great apes will require major changes to policy and practice
Human Activity and Forest Degradation Threaten Populations of the Nigeria–Cameroon Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes ellioti) in Western Cameroon
Increased human activities such as commodity-led deforestation, extension of agriculture, urbanization, and wildfires are major drivers of forest loss worldwide. In Cameroon, these activities cause a loss of suitable primate habitat and could ultimately threaten the survival of chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ). We derived independent estimates of the population size of the Endangered Nigeria–Cameroon chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ellioti ) in Kom-W…
Population Status of the Critically Endangered Preuss’s Red Colobus Monkey (Piliocolobus preussi Matschie 1900) and Recommendations for Its Conservation
Assessment of in situ nest decay rate for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes ellioti Matschie, 1914) in Mbam-Djerem National Park, Cameroon
Accurate assessment of great ape populations is a prerequisite for conservation planning. Indirect survey methods using nest and dung, and a set of conversion parameters related to nest decay rates, are increasingly used. Most surveys use the standing crop nest count (SCNC) method, whereby nests are counted along transects and the estimated nest density is converted into chimpanzee density using an often non-local nest decay rate. The use of non-…

Male-Driven Differences in Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) Population Genetic Structure Across Three Habitats in Cameroon and Nigeria
