Protecting great apes from disease: Compliance with measures to reduce anthroponotic disease transmission
The emergence of infectious diseases, such as COVID‐19, impacts livelihood strategies and conservation tools reliant on human‐wildlife interactions, such as wildlife‐based tourism and research. This is particularly relevant to great ape conservation, as humans and great apes are susceptible to being infected by similar pathogens. Evidence‐based strategies are required to prevent infectious disease transmission to great apes and people involved in…
Envisioning a resilient future for biodiversity conservation in the wake of the Covid‐19 pandemic
As the COVID‐19 pandemic continues to affect societies across the world, the ongoing economic and social disruptions are likely to present fundamental challenges for current and future biodiversity conservation. We review the literature for outcomes of past major societal, political, economic and zoonotic perturbations on biodiversity conservation, and demonstrate the complex implications of perturbation events upon conservation efforts. Building…
Open‐access platform to synthesize knowledge of ape conservation across sites
Despite the large body of literature on ape conservation, much of the data needed for evidence‐based conservation decision‐making is still not readily accessible and standardized, rendering cross‐site comparison difficult. To support knowledge synthesis and to complement the IUCN SSC Ape Populations, Environments and Surveys database, we created the A.P.E.S. Wiki ( https://apeswiki.eva.mpg.de ), an open‐access platform providing site‐level inform…
A comparison of methods to determine chimpanzee home-range size in a forest–farm mosaic at Madina in Cantanhez National Park, Guinea-Bissau
Human activities impact the distribution of numerous species. Anthropogenic habitats are often fragmented, and wildlife must navigate through human-influenced and ‘natural’ parts of the landscape to access resources. Different methods to determine the home-range areas of nonhuman primates have not considered the additional complexities of ranging in anthropogenic areas. Here, using 6 months of spatial data on the distribution of chimpanzee presen…
Towards systematic and evidence‐based conservation planning for western chimpanzees
As animal populations continue to decline, frequently driven by large‐scale land‐use change, there is a critical need for improved environmental planning. While data‐driven spatial planning is widely applied in conservation, as of yet it is rarely used for primates. The western chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus ) declined by 80% within 24 years and was uplisted to Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2016. To suppo…
Breaking Through Disciplinary Barriers: Human-Wildlife Interactions and Multispecies Ethnography
One of the main challenges when integrating biological and social perspectives in primatology is overcoming interdisciplinary barriers. Unfamiliarity with subject-specific theory and language, distinct disciplinary-bound approaches to research, and academic boundaries aimed at "preserving the integrity" of subject disciplines can hinder developments in interdisciplinary research. With growing interest in how humans and other primates share landsc…
Dispersal of a Human-Cultivated Crop by Wild Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in a Forest–Farm Matrix
The Implications of Primate Behavioral Flexibility for Sustainable Human–Primate Coexistence in Anthropogenic Habitats
Placentophagy in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) at Bossou, Guinea
Across disciplinary boundaries: Remembering Cláudia Sousa
This dossier pays homage to the primatologist Cláudia Sousa and is the result of a seminar held in her memory. It collates the presentations of Cláudia’s colleagues on themes that demonstrate not only the importance of her work but also the legacy that she left. It highlights the potential for novel ways to bring together social and human sciences and biological sciences in the field of anthropology
Chimpanzee behavioural flexibility and the sustainability of human-chimpanzee interactions at Cantanhez National Park, Guinea-Bissau
This paper incorporates research conducted by Cláudia Sousa and demonstrates the importance of examining chimpanzee behavioural flexibility alongside chimpanzee interactions with local people for the conservation of biodiversity in anthropogenic habitats
Feeding ecology of chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes verus ) inhabiting a forest‐mangrove‐savanna‐agricultural matrix at Caiquene‐Cadique, Cantanhez National Park, Guinea‐Bissau
With rising conversion of "natural" habitat to other land use such as agriculture, nonhuman primates are increasingly exploiting areas influenced by people and their activities. Despite the conservation importance of understanding the ways in which primates modify their behavior to human pressures, data are lacking, even for well-studied species. Using systematically collected data (fecal samples, feeding traces, and direct observations), we exam…
Attacks on local persons by chimpanzees in Bossou, Republic of Guinea: Long‐term perspectives
Attacks on humans by nonhuman primates are one of the most serious causes of human–primate conflict, and strongly influence people's perceptions and tolerance of nonhuman primates. Despite their importance, systematic and extensive records of such attacks are rare. Here, we report the attacks that occurred on local persons by chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes verus ) at Bossou, Republic of Guinea, from 1995 to 2009. There have been a total of 11 atta…
The ethnoprimatological approach in primatology
Recent and long‐term sympatries between humans and nonhuman primates (hereafter primates) are central to the behavioral ecology, conservation, and evolutionary trajectories of numerous primate species. Ethnoprimatology emphasizes that interconnections between humans and primates should be viewed as more than just disruptions of a “natural” state, and instead anthropogenic contexts must be considered as potential drivers for specific primate behav…
Flexible feeding on cultivated underground storage organs by rainforest-dwelling chimpanzees at Bossou, West Africa
Use of wild and cultivated foods by chimpanzees at Bossou, Republic of Guinea: Feeding dynamics in a human‐influenced environment
Increased human population growth and more conversions of natural habitat to agricultural land have resulted in greater proximity between humans and nonhuman primate species. Consequent increases in resource competition including crop‐raiding are a by‐product of both natural resources becoming less available and the nutritional benefits of cultivated foods becoming more known to the nonhuman primates. Chimpanzees at Bossou in the Republic of Guin…
