Time and distribution: a model of ape biogeography [PDF]
, 2008 We use data from 20 chimpanzee, bonobo and gorilla study sites to develop an African great ape time budgets model to predict the animals' capacity to survive in a range of habitats across sub-Saharan Africa.

Adult bonobos show no prosociality in both prosocial choice task and group service paradigm [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Previous studies reported contrasting conclusions concerning bonobo prosociality, which are likely due to differences in the experimental design, the social dynamics among subjects and characteristics of the subjects themselves.

Personality in wild bonobos (Pan paniscus) [PDF]
American Journal of Primatology, 2016 To understand the evolution of personality structure requires examining personality dimensions in multiple species using a common set of traits. Little research has been conducted on personality in wild populations of nonhuman primates. Using behavioral observations and questionnaire ratings, we examined factors influencing personality in 16 wild ...

Sex-specific association patterns in bonobos and chimpanzees reflect species differences in cooperation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 In several group-living species, individuals' social preferences are thought to be influenced by cooperation. For some societies with fission–fusion dynamics, sex-specific association patterns reflect sex differences in cooperation in within- and between-

Vaccination to conserved influenza antigens in mice using a novel Simian adenovirus vector, PanAd3, derived from the bonobo Pan paniscus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Among approximately 1000 adenoviruses from chimpanzees and bonobos studied recently, the Pan Adenovirus type 3 (PanAd3, isolated from a bonobo, Pan paniscus) has one of the best profiles for a vaccine vector, combining potent transgene immunogenicity ...

Vocal communication in bonobos (Pan paniscus) : studies in the contexts of feeding and sex [PDF]
, 2011 Despite having being discovered nearly 80 years ago, bonobos (Pan paniscus) are still one of the least well understood of the great apes, largely remaining in the shadow of their better known cousins, the chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). This is especially

Deciphering conserved identical sequences of mature miRNAs among six members of great apes
Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2018 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small RNA molecules which act as negative regulators of gene expression by controlling post-transcriptional regulation through binding to their corresponding mRNAs.
