Semen collection, evaluation, and cryopreservation in the bonobo (Pan paniscus) [PDF]
BMC Zoology, 2022 Background Captive breeding of bonobos (Pan paniscus) has proven to be successful, but maintaining genetic diversity remains a challenge. Cryopreservation of semen is an important potential tool to maintain genetic diversity by preserving current genetic

Stress distribution in the bonobo (Pan paniscus) trapeziometacarpal joint during grasping [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The primate thumb plays a central role in grasping and the basal trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is critical to its function. The TMC joint morphology varies across primates, yet little is known about form-function interaction within in the TMC joint. The

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

An updated vocal repertoire of wild adult bonobos (Pan paniscus). [PDF]
PLoS ONEResearch over the last 20 years has shed important light on the vocal behaviour of our closest living relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, but mostly relies on qualitative vocal repertoires, for which quantitative validations are absent.

Evaluation of a Point-of-Care Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor (VCM Vet) and Thromboelastography (TEG) in Bonobos (Pan paniscus). [PDF]
J Med PrimatolABSTRACT Introduction Bonobos (Pan paniscus) are endangered and uncommon in managed care. Prothrombotic and hypofibrinolytic states are encountered with cardiovascular disease, ischemic stroke, and neoplasia. Materials and Methods Twelve bonobos from one institution were evaluated during anesthetized exams.

Welcome Back: Responses of Female Bonobos (Pan paniscus) to Fusions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In species with a high degree of fission-fusion social dynamics, fusions may trigger social conflict and thus provide an opportunity to identify sources of social tension and mechanisms related to its alleviation.

Atlas of cortical sulcal imprints on Pan endocasts. [PDF]
J AnatThis comprehensive atlas documents the frequency, position, and variability of cortical sulcal imprints across 21 extant Pan endocasts, providing the first quantitative baseline for comparative paleoneurology. This atlas serves as a reference for distinguishing ancestral from derived features in hominin brain evolution.

Comparing emotion inferences from dogs (Canis familiaris), panins (Pan troglodytes/Pan paniscus), and humans (Homo sapiens) facial displays [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Human beings are highly familiar over-learnt social targets, with similar physical facial morphology between perceiver and target. But does experience with or similarity to a social target determine whether we can accurately infer emotions from their ...

Time-lag of urinary and salivary cortisol response after a psychological stressor in bonobos (Pan paniscus) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Cortisol is often measured as a marker for stress. Therefore, a profound validation of the time-lag between the stressor and the increase and peak in cortisol levels is needed.
