Many morphs: parsing gesture signals from the noise

A. Mielke, G. Badihi, K. E. Graham, C. Grund, C. Hashimoto, A. K. Piel, A. Safryghin, K. E. Slocombe, F. Stewart, C. Wilke, K. Zuberbühler, C. Hobaiter

This paper introduces a framework to refine gesture classification in wild chimpanzees by splitting gesture types based on modifying features, assessing if this increases communication system information content.

Dead infant carrying by chimpanzee mothers in the Budongo Forest

A. Soldati, P. Fedurek, C. Crockford, S. Adue, J. W. Akankwasa, C. Asiimwe, J. Asua, G. Atayo, B. Chandia, E. Freymann, C. Fryns, G. Muhumuza, D. Taylor, K. Zuberbuhler, C. Hobaiter

The paper documents instances of chimpanzee mothers carrying dead infants for extended periods, suggesting potential psychological responses to death.

Flexibility in the social structure of male chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in the Budongo Forest, Uganda

G. Badihi, K. Bodden, K. Zuberbuhler, L. Samuni, C. Hobaiter

This study shows that male chimpanzees in a large community use semi-stable subgrouping, adding flexibility to their social organization beyond typical fission-fusion dynamics.

Non-genetic maternal effects shape individual differences in cortisol phenotypes in wild chimpanzees

P. J. Tkaczynski, F. Mafessoni, C. Girard-Buttoz, L. Samuni, C. Y. Ackermann, P. Fedurek, C. Gomes, C. Hobaiter, T. Lohrich, V. Manin, A. Preis, P. Vale, E. G. Wessling, L. Wittiger, Z. Zommers, , C. Crockford

The paper examines maternal effects on cortisol phenotypes in wild chimpanzees, finding maternal influence explains 10% of variation, while genetic factors are not distinguishable from zero.

Variable expression of linguistic laws in ape gesture: a case study from chimpanzee sexual solicitation.

A. Safryghin, C. P. Cross, B. Fallon, R. Heesen, R. Ferrer-i-Cancho, C. Hobaiter

The paper examines Zipf's law of brevity and Menzerath's law in chimpanzee sexual solicitation gestures, finding support for Menzerath's law but not Zipf's, suggesting context-dependent communication patterns.

Ecological and dietary differences between Ugandan chimpanzee communities with possible implications on tool use

I. Berger, C. Hobaiter, M. Bell, D. De Moor, T. Gruber

This study compares ecological and dietary differences between Ugandan chimpanzee communities to explore their implications on tool use, finding that Sonso chimpanzees have higher food diversity but lower stick and insect nest availability, potentially explaining their limited tool use.
