A Model-Based Analysis of GC-Biased Gene Conversion in the Human and Chimpanzee Genomes [PDF]
, 2013 GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a recombination-associated process that favors the fixation of G/C alleles over A/T alleles. In mammals, gBGC is hypothesized to contribute to variation in GC content, rapidly evolving sequences, and the fixation of ...

Bystanders intervene to impede grooming in Western chimpanzees and sooty mangabeys [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Grooming interactions benefit groomers, but may have negative consequences for bystanders. Grooming limits bystanders' grooming access and ensuing alliances could threaten the bystander's hierarchy rank or their previous investment in the groomers.

Challenge pools of hepatitis C virus genotypes 1-6 prototype strains: replication fitness and pathogenicity in chimpanzees and human liver-chimeric mouse models [PDF]
, 2010 Chimpanzees represent the only animal model for studies of the natural history of hepatitis C virus (HCV). To generate virus stocks of important HCV variants, we infected chimpanzees with HCV strains of genotypes 1-6 and determined the infectivity titer ...

Play-solicitation gestures in chimpanzees in the wild: flexible adjustment to social circumstances and individual matrices [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Social play is a frequent behaviour in great apes and involves sophisticated forms of communicative exchange. While it is well established that great apes test and practise the majority of their gestural signals during play interactions, the influence of

Head-mounted eye tracking of a chimpanzee under naturalistic conditions.
PLoS ONE, 2013 This study offers a new method for examining the bodily, manual, and eye movements of a chimpanzee at the micro-level. A female chimpanzee wore a lightweight head-mounted eye tracker (60 Hz) on her head while engaging in daily interactions with the human
