Staring death in the face: chimpanzees' attention towards conspecific skulls and the implications of a face module guiding their behaviour

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Chimpanzees exhibit a variety of behaviours surrounding their dead, although much less is known about how they respond towards conspecific skeletons. We tested chimpanzees' visual attention to images of conspecific and non-conspecific stimuli (cat/chimp ...

Vaccinating captive chimpanzees to save wild chimpanzees [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Although infectious disease is now recognized as a major threat to wild gorillas and chimpanzees, safety fears have stifled the use of a powerful disease control tool, vaccination. To illustrate that safety can be rigorously evaluated before vaccines are used on wild apes, we conducted what is, to our knowledge, the first ...

Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) gaze is conspicuous at ecologically-relevant distances

Scientific Reports, 2022
Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) sclera appear much darker than the white sclera of human eyes, to such a degree that the direction of chimpanzee gaze may be concealed from conspecifics.

Neuroanatomical correlates of individual differences in the object choice task in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
Declarative and imperative joint attention or joint engagement are important milestones in human infant development. These have been shown to be a significant predictor of later language development and are impaired in some individuals with, or at risk ...

Neural representation of face familiarity in an awake chimpanzee [PDF]

PeerJ, 2013
Evaluating the familiarity of faces is critical for social animals as it is the basis of individual recognition. In the present study, we examined how face familiarity is reflected in neural activities in our closest living relative, the chimpanzee. Skin-
