Bonobos Share with Strangers [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Humans are thought to possess a unique proclivity to share with others--including strangers. This puzzling phenomenon has led many to suggest that sharing with strangers originates from human-unique language, social norms, warfare and/or cooperative ...

Social Attention in the Two Species of Pan: Bonobos Make More Eye Contact than Chimpanzees [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Humans' two closest primate living relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, differ behaviorally, cognitively, and emotionally in several ways despite their general similarities.

Adapting the facial action coding system for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) to bonobos (Pan paniscus): the ChimpFACS extension for bonobos [PDF]
PeerJThe Facial Action Coding System (FACS) is a widely recognised coding scheme for analysing human facial behaviour, providing an objective method to quantify discrete movements associated with facial muscles, known as Action Units (AUs), and reducing ...

Effects of Epidemic Diseases on the Distribution of Bonobos [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 This study examined how outbreaks and the occurrence of Anthrax, Ebola, Monkeypox and Trypanosomiasis may differentially affect the distribution of bonobos (Pan paniscus).

Differences in the Cognitive Skills of Bonobos and Chimpanzees [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 While bonobos and chimpanzees are both genetically and behaviorally very similar, they also differ in significant ways. Bonobos are more cautious and socially tolerant while chimpanzees are more dependent on extractive foraging, which requires tools. The

Targeted helping and cooperation in zoo-living chimpanzees and bonobos [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Directly comparing the prosocial behaviour of our two closest living relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, is essential to deepening our understanding of the evolution of human prosociality.

The mitochondrial ancestor of bonobos and the origin of their major haplogroups [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We report here where the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of bonobos (Pan paniscus) ranged and how they dispersed throughout their current habitat.

Paternity and kin structure among neighbouring groups in wild bonobos at Wamba [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Although both bonobos and chimpanzees are male-philopatric species, outcomes of male–male reproductive competition seem to be more closely associated with mating success in chimpanzees.

Oxytocin and Vasopressin Receptor Gene Variation as a Proximate Base for Inter- and Intraspecific Behavioral Differences in Bonobos and Chimpanzees [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Recent literature has revealed the importance of variation in neuropeptide receptor gene sequences in the regulation of behavioral phenotypic variation. Here we focus on polymorphisms in the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) and vasopressin receptor gene 1a (

Bonobos Fall within the Genomic Variation of Chimpanzees
PLoS ONE, 2011 To gain insight into the patterns of genetic variation and evolutionary relationships within and between bonobos and chimpanzees, we sequenced 150,000 base pairs of nuclear DNA divided among 15 autosomal regions as well as the complete mitochondrial ...
