Innovation in chimpanzees [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe study of innovation in non‐human animals (henceforth: animals) has recently gained momentum across fields including primatology, animal behaviour and cultural evolution. Examining the rate of innovations, and the cognitive mechanisms driving these innovations across species, can provide insights into the evolution of human culture ...

More Rope Tricks Reveal Why More Task Variants Will Never Lead to Strong Inferences About Higher-Order Causal Reasoning in Chimpanzees [PDF]
When chimpanzees (and other animals) use tools to pound, crack open, retrieve, soak up, pry apart, probe into, and/or dig up other objects (just to name a few of the operations of which they are capable), are these actions modulated by higher-order ...

Varicella in chimpanzees [PDF]
Two chimpanzees were inoculated subcutaneously with the wild-type Oka strain of varicellazoster virus (VZV). Viral DNA was detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of both animals using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) shortly after inoculation.

Housing different animal groups in close-by facilities is common in wildlife centers. However, the impact on animal welfare is insufficiently studied in the literature. In this study, we analyzed the behavior of two adjacently housed chimpanzee groups to
