Cataracte chez un bonobo du sanctuaire « Lola ya bonobo »

Revue de Primatologie, 2014
Un jeune mâle bonobo nommé Kipolo, âgé de 10 ans, est arrivé au sanctuaire en Juin 2010 en bonne santé. Quelques mois après son arrivée, sa « maman de substitution » (personne employée par le sanctuaire, prenant soin d’un jeune orphelin) avait remarqué ...

Language Origins Viewed in Spontaneous and Interactive Vocal Rates of Human and Bonobo Infants [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
From the first months of life, human infants produce “protophones,” speech-like, non-cry sounds, presumed absent, or only minimally present in other apes. But there have been no direct quantitative comparisons to support this presumption. In addition, by

A Comparison of the Force‐Velocity Relationship of Bonobo and Human Muscle Fibers [PDF]

J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol
It has been reported that the muscles of chimpanzees and bonobos have “super strength” and it has been suggested that this is attributable to a larger specific tension and specific power of their muscles.

A lethal incident during an intergroup encounter in bonobos [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Although neighbouring bonobo communities often display tolerance and cooperation when associating together, aggression is also commonly observed during intergroup encounters. Here, we describe an observation at the Kokolopori research site (DRC) in which

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators [PDF]

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2427-2447, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Conspecific alarm calls, but not food-associated calls, elicit affect-based and object-based mental representations in a bonobo (Pan paniscus) [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Non-human vocalizations carrying information regarding external events have been likened to referential words and are thus integral for exploring the origins of linguistic reference.

Generation and transcriptome profiling of bonobo induced pluripotent stem cells using stealth RNA vectors: a tripartite comparative study with humans and chimpanzees [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Bonobos (Pan paniscus), which share a close evolutionary lineage with chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and humans, offer vital insights into the genetic and developmental propensities underlying human evolution.

Oxytocin activity is not linked to out-group prosociality in wild bonobos [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In many group-living species, cooperative group defense is crucial to the reproduction and survival of group members. In humans and chimpanzees, this adaptive behavior is regulated by oxytocin, a highly conserved neurohormone.

Bonobos and chimpanzees overlap in sexual behaviour patterns during social tension [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Sexual behaviour during tense social situations is extensively documented in various animals. Bonobos, our closest living relatives alongside chimpanzees, habitually perform genital contacts during social tension, which is thought to enhance cooperation ...

Age differences in bonobo (Pan paniscus) multimodal communication signals [PDF]

Animal Cognition
While spoken language is unique to humans, many features of human communication are shared with great apes, including the use of signals in multiple modalities such as vocalizations, gestures, and facial expressions. Communication signals can be unimodal
