An archivist's error? Notes on the origin of two farm names in the Western Cape
In this short paper the author examines the origin of the names Bakkeley Plaats and Vredendal, two adjacent farms in the Western Cape. He questions the validity of a former chief archivist's explanation of these farm names and uses archival sources, contemporary reports of early travellers and personal communications of old inhabitants to make his point
Something within Me
Something within Me details the life of the late Honourable Michael Wilson, including his experiences as a Canadian politician and as a mental health advocate following the devastating loss of his son.
Geographic isolation predicts tobacco product use among youth
PURPOSE: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate associations between geographic rurality and tobacco use patterns among adolescents. METHODS: High school students (N = 566) from north-central Appalachia reported on their lifetime and/or current use of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes (ECIGs), cigars, and smokeless tobacco. Geographic rurality was measured via the Isolation scale, whereby residential ZIP Codes determined the degree to w…
The Gombe Ecosystem Health Project
Infectious disease outbreaks pose a significant threat to the conservation of chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) and all threatened nonhuman primates. Characterizing and mitigating these threats to support the sustainability and welfare of wild populations is of the highest priority. In an attempt to understand and mitigate the risk of disease for the chimpanzees of Gombe National Park, Tanzania, we initiated a long‐term health‐monitoring program in…
Chimpanzee pant‐hoots encode individual information more reliably than group differences
Vocal learning, the ability to modify the acoustic structure of vocalizations based on social experience, is a fundamental feature of speech in humans ( Homo sapiens ). While vocal learning is common in taxa such as songbirds and whales, the vocal learning capacities of nonhuman primates appear more limited. Intriguingly, evidence for vocal learning has been reported in chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ), for example, in the form of regional variati…
Smart Parenting? The Internet of Things, Children’s Privacy, and Data Justice
This paper examines children’s privacy and the Internet of Things (IoT). After describing the operation of IoTs directly marketed to and for children, we outline research concerning the surveillance of children and issues associated with children’s right to privacy, including the role of parents or guardians in protecting their children’s right to privacy. We then present the findings of a survey of Australian IoT consumers and non-consumers (n =…
Playbacks of food-associated calls attract chimpanzees towards known food patches in a captive setting
Range‐wide indicators of African great ape density distribution
Species distributions are influenced by processes occurring at multiple spatial scales. It is therefore insufficient to model species distribution at a single geographic scale, as this does not provide the necessary understanding of determining factors. Instead, multiple approaches are needed, each differing in spatial extent, grain, and research objective. Here, we present the first attempt to model continent‐wide great ape density distribution.…
Do we need to reclassify the social systems of gregarious apes
Decades of research have led to a solid understanding of the social systems of gregarious apes: chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and gibbons. As field studies have increasingly collected data from multiple neighboring habituated groups, genetic and social interconnections have been revealed. These findings provide a more nuanced picture of intergroup relations in apes, and have led to claims in the literature that some ape taxa have multilevel soc…
Insights into human evolution from 60 years of research on chimpanzees at Gombe
Unpacking chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ) patch use
The marginal value theorem is an optimal foraging model that predicts how efficient foragers should respond to both their ecological and social environments when foraging in food patches, and it has strongly influenced hypotheses for primate behavior. Nevertheless, experimental tests of the marginal value theorem have been rare in primates and observational studies have provided conflicting support. As a step towards filling this gap, we test whe…
Approving of but Not Choosing Violence
Why do some political radicals—people who believe in using violence for political ends and who may sympathize with local violent groups—not themselves perform violent acts or join violent organizations? This article finds that prior research on terrorism, insurgency, civil war, and ethnic conflict seems to do a poor job of predicting who upon adopting radical political views will actually engage in violence. In fact, there is a great deal of cont…
New approaches to modeling primate socioecology
DrugBank 5.0
DrugBank (www.drugbank.ca) is a web-enabled database containing comprehensive molecular information about drugs, their mechanisms, their interactions and their targets. First described in 2006, DrugBank has continued to evolve over the past 12 years in response to marked improvements to web standards and changing needs for drug research and development. This year's update, DrugBank 5.0, represents the most significant upgrade to the database in m…
Socioecological correlates of clinical signs in two communities of wild chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) at Gombe National Park, Tanzania
Disease and other health hazards pose serious threats to the persistence of wild ape populations. The total chimpanzee population at Gombe National Park, Tanzania, has declined from an estimated 120 to 150 individuals in the 1960's to around 100 individuals by the end of 2013, with death associated with observable signs of disease as the leading cause of mortality. In 2004, we began a non-invasive health-monitoring program in the two habituated c…
Destabilization of the gut microbiome marks the end‐stage of simian immunodeficiency virus infection in wild chimpanzees
Enteric dysbiosis is a characteristic feature of progressive human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) infection but has not been observed in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac)‐infected macaques, including in animals with end‐stage disease. This has raised questions concerning the mechanisms underlying the HIV‐1 associated enteropathy, with factors other than virus infection, such as lifestyle and antibiotic use, implicated as playing possi…
Infanticide in chimpanzees
OBJECTIVES: We present a study of skeletal damage to four chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) infanticide victims from Gombe National Park, Tanzania. Skeletal analysis may provide insight into the adaptive significance of infanticide by examining whether nutritional benefits sufficiently explain infanticidal behavior. The nutritional hypothesis would be supported if bone survivorship rates and skeletal damage patterns are comparable to those of monkey p…
Field immobilization for treatment of an unknown illness in a wild chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) at Gombe National Park, Tanzania
Lethal aggression in Pan is better explained by adaptive strategies than human impacts
Great ape genetic diversity and population history
High-coverage sequencing of 79 (wild and captive) individuals representing all six non-human great ape species has identified over 88 million single nucleotide polymorphisms providing insight into ape genetic variation and evolutionary history and enabling comparison with human genetic diversity. In an effort to provide insights into great ape genetic variation, the authors sequence 79 wild- and captive-born individuals from across all six great …
Community-based research in Aids-service organizations
BACKGROUND: Community-based research (CBR) approaches have become commonplace in many North American HIV communities. In many large urban centers, AIDS-service organizations (ASOs) have become active research hubs, advocating for research dollars in community settings. While ASOs have historically integrated local knowledge into their prevention, care and advocacy initiatives, many are now initiating or collaborating in research which addresses e…
Hyperprogesteronemia in response to Vitex fischeri consumption in wild chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii )
Chimpanzees in Gombe National Park consume fruits of Vitex fischeri during a short annual fruiting season. This fruit species is a member of a genus widely studied for phytoestrogen composition and varied physiological effects. One particularly well‐studied species, V. agnus‐castus , is noted for its documented effects on female reproductive function, evidenced in increased progesterone levels and consequent regulation of luteal function. We exam…
Intergroup Relations in Chimpanzees
In the 1970s, researchers provided the first detailed descriptions of intergroup conflict in chimpanzees. These observations stimulated numerous comparisons between chimpanzee violence and human warfare. Such comparisons have attracted three main objections: (a) The data supporting such comparisons are too few, (b) intergroup aggression is the result of artificial feeding by observers, and (c) chimpanzee data are irrelevant to understanding human…
The 1992–1993 Excavations at the Die Kelders Middle and Later Stone Age Cave Site, South Africa
Renewed excavations at Die Kelders Cave 1, South Africa, have confirmed and augmented prior findings. The new excavations focused on the Middle Stone Age (MSA) deposits, but they added seeds, pips, and crayfish to the categories of Later Stone Age (LSA) food debris and artifacts recovered earlier. With respect to the MSA deposits, the principal new findings are: 1) previously unrecognized site formation processes ,including phosphatization by gua…
