Variability in the developmental life history of the genus Gorilla
Life history is influenced by factors both intrinsic (e.g., body and relative brain size) and extrinsic (e.g., diet, environmental instability) to organisms. In this study, we examine the prediction that energetic risk influences the life history of gorillas. Recent comparisons suggest that the more frugivorous western lowland gorilla shows increased infant dependence, and thus a slower life history, than the primarily folivorous mountain gorilla…
Maternal transport and infant motor development in a captive group of lowland gorillas
The development of infant play in a captive group of lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla )
Three infant gorillas born at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center of Emory University were studied during their first year and one‐half of life for various aspects of behavior, including solitary and social play, using both focal animal and one‐zero sampling. The appearance of play in these infants followed a developmental trend, beginning with mother‐infant play, and followed by solitary play, and then social play among peers. Mothers we…
