Conceptual metaphorical mapping in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
eLife, 2013 Conceptual metaphors are linguistic constructions. Such a metaphor is humans’ mental representation of social rank as a pyramidal-like structure. High-ranked individuals are represented in higher positions than low-ranked individuals.

Body part categorical matching in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHumans categorize body parts, reflecting our knowledge about bodies, and this could be useful in higher-level activities involving bodies. We tested whether humans’ closest living relatives—chimpanzees—have the same ability using touchscreen tasks ...

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) Indicate Mammalian Abundance Across Broad Spatial Scales [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionOngoing ecosystem change and biodiversity decline across the Afrotropics call for tools to monitor the state of biodiversity or ecosystem elements across extensive spatial and temporal scales.

Age-Related Dynamics of Fecal Microbiota in the Captive Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) [PDF]
Polish Journal of MicrobiologyUnderstanding gut microbiome diversity in endangered chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) is crucial for their effective ex situ conservation. This study characterized the age-related dynamics of the fecal microbiota in captive juvenile (< 5 years), adolescent (

Fatal amoebic meningoencephalitis caused by Balamuthia mandrillaris in Pongo pygmaeus and first case report in Pan troglodytes verus [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceBalamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba that can cause granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) as well as lung and skin infections in both humans and animals. Studies on B. mandrillaris-related GAE cases have increased in recent years. This amoeba has been

Trabecular bone structure correlates with hand posture and use in hominoids [PDF]
, 2013 Bone is capable of adapting during life in response to stress. Therefore, variation in locomotor and manipulative behaviours across extant hominoids may be reflected in differences in trabecular bone structure.

Nutritional geometry of female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
American Journal of Primatology, 2021 Primate foraging is influenced by the spatial and temporal distribution of foods, which may facilitate or constrain optimal nutrient intakes. Chimpanzees are frugivorous primates that mainly subsist on ripe fruit that is typically low in available ...

Behavioral Adaptation of Pan troglodytes troglodytes [PDF]
International Journal of Primatology, 2006 As wild primate populations decline, numbers of orphaned primates, sanctuaries, and attempts to release primates back to the natural environment increase. Release projects frequently are poorly documented despite IUCN guidelines recommending post-releasemonitoring and systematic data collection as central to the process.

Identification of Structural Variation in Chimpanzees Using Optical Mapping and Nanopore Sequencing. [PDF]
, 2020 Recent efforts to comprehensively characterize great ape genetic diversity using short-read sequencing and single-nucleotide variants have led to important discoveries related to selection within species, demographic history, and lineage-specific traits.

PLoS ONE, 2021 In modern humans, facial soft tissue thicknesses have been shown to covary with craniometric dimensions. However, to date it has not been confirmed whether these relationships are shared with non-human apes.
