Shifting through the forest: Home range, movement patterns, and diet of the eastern chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii ) in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda
Populations of the endangered eastern chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii ) are declining throughout their range. Although Nyungwe National Park (NNP) harbors the largest remaining eastern chimpanzee population in Rwanda, we know little about their space use and dietary patterns. We studied home range, movement, and diet of two communities of chimpanzees in NNP using daily tracking data (6:00 am to 6:00 pm) collected from 2000 to 2015. On…
The genetic population structure of wild western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) living in continuous rain forest
To understand the evolutionary histories and conservation potential of wild animal species it is useful to assess whether taxa are genetically structured into different populations and identify the underlying factors responsible for any clustering. Landscape features such as rivers may influence genetic population structure, and analysis of structure by sex can further reveal effects of sex-specific dispersal. Using microsatellite genotypes obtai…
Western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) change their activity patterns in response to frugivory
The most important environmental factor explaining interspecies variation in ecology and sociality of the great apes is likely to be variation in resource availability. Relatively little is known about the activity patterns of western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ), which inhabit a dramatically different environment from the well‐studied mountain gorillas ( G. beringei beringei ). This study aims to provide a detailed quantification…
Using Dung to Estimate Gorilla Density: Modeling Dung Production Rate
There is an urgent need for information on western gorilla population sizes and distribution to improve present and plan future conservation actions. Researchers traditionally have estimated gorilla densities on the basis of nest counts despite demonstrated variation in nest production and decay rates. The variation may lead to large biases in estimates of gorilla abundance. We investigated the use of an alternate index of gorilla abundance, via …
Termite Feeding by Gorilla gorilla gorilla at Bai Hokou, Central African Republic
Effects of group dynamics and diet on the ranging patterns of a western gorilla group ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) at Bai Hokou, Central African Republic
This study describes how group dynamics and diet have influenced the ranging patterns of a western gorilla group at Bai Hokou, Central African Republic. The results are compared with those from an earlier study [Cipolletta, International Journal of Primatology, 2003], when the same group was larger and undergoing the process of habituation to humans. Data were obtained from maps of the gorillas' travel routes, direct observations, and analysis of…
Western gorilla diet: A synthesis from six sites
The objective of this paper is to collate information on western gorilla diet from six study sites throughout much of their current range, including preliminary information from two sites (Afi and Lossi), where studies of diet have begun only recently. Food lists were available from each site, derived from indirect signs of gorilla feeding (such as feces), with some observational data. Important staple, seasonal, and fallback foods have been iden…
Social structure and life‐history patterns in western gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla )
Life‐history traits and ecological conditions have an important influence on primate social systems. Most of what we know about the life‐history patterns and social structure of gorillas comes from studies of eastern gorillas ( Gorilla beringei sp.), which live under dramatically different ecological conditions compared to western gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla sp.). In this paper we present new data on western gorilla social structure and life histo…
