Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of DNA from noninvasive samples for accurate microsatellite genotyping of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus)
- P. Morin, K. Chambers, C. Boesch, L. Vigilant
- Medicine, Biology
- Molecular ecology
- 1 July 2001
Noninvasive samples are useful for molecular genetic analyses of wild animal populations. However, the low DNA content of such samples makes DNA amplification difficult, and there is the potential… Expand
Fission‐Fusion Dynamics
- F. Aureli, C. Schaffner, +16 authors C. Schaik
- Sociology
- Current Anthropology
- 1 August 2008
Renewed interest in fission‐fusion dynamics is due to the recognition that such dynamics may create unique challenges for social interaction and distinctive selective pressures acting on underlying… Expand
Microsatellite scoring errors associated with noninvasive genotyping based on nuclear DNA amplified from shed hair

- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 September 1997
In the context of a study of wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, we found that genotypes based on single PCR amplifications of microsatellite loci from single shed hair have a high error rate.… Expand
CHARTING CULTURAL VARIATION IN CHIMPANZEES
- A. Whiten, J. Goodall, +6 authors C. Boesch
- Biology
- 2001
Cultural variation among chimpanzee communities or unit-groups at nine long-term study sites was charted through a systematic, collaborative procedure in which the directors of the sites first agreed… Expand
Mortality rates among wild chimpanzees.

- Medicine, Biology
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 May 2001
In order to compare evolved human and chimpanzees' life histories we present a synthetic life table for free-living chimpanzees, derived from data collected in five study populations (Gombe, Taï,… Expand
Cooperative hunting in wild chimpanzees

- Biology
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 September 1994
Abstract Abstract. A model for the evolution of cooperation shows that two conditions are necessary for cooperation to be stable: a hunting success rate that is low for single hunters and increases… Expand
Generation times in wild chimpanzees and gorillas suggest earlier divergence times in great ape and human evolution
- K. Langergraber, Kay Prüfer, +17 authors L. Vigilant
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 13 August 2012
Fossils and molecular data are two independent sources of information that should in principle provide consistent inferences of when evolutionary lineages diverged. Here we use an alternative… Expand
Ebola virus outbreak among wild chimpanzees living in a rain forest of Côte d'Ivoire.
- P. Formenty, C. Boesch, +5 authors B. Le Guenno
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of infectious diseases
- 1 February 1999
An outbreak of Ebola in nature is described for the first time. During a few weeks in November 1994, approximately 25% of 43 members of a wild chimpanzee community disappeared or were found dead in… Expand
Female sexual swelling size, timing of ovulation, and male behavior in wild West African chimpanzees
- T. Deschner, M. Heistermann, K. Hodges, C. Boesch
- Medicine, Biology
- Hormones and Behavior
- 1 August 2004
Conspicuous swellings of the perineal skin can be observed in females of many catharrine primate species particularly during the middle stages of the ovarian cycle. The functional significance of… Expand
The Effects of Leopard Predation On Grouping Patterns in Forest Chimpanzees
- C. Boesch
- Biology
- 1991
[During a 5-year period, 29 interactions between chimpanzees and leopards have been observed or inferred in the tropical rainforest of the Tai National Park, Cote d'Ivoire. Chimpanzees chased away… Expand
