Failure to account for behavioral variability significantly compromises accuracy in indirect population monitoring

E. G. Wessling, M. Surbeck

This paper shows that ignoring behavioral variability in wildlife monitoring leads to significant overestimation of bonobo populations by up to 80%.

Evaluating the efficacy of a consumer-centric method for ecological sampling: Using bonobo (Pan paniscus) feeding patterns as an instrument for tropical forest characterization

E. G. Wessling, L. Samuni, R. Mundry, M. Adan Pascual, S. Lucchesi, B. Kambale, M. Surbeck

This paper evaluates a consumer-centric method for ecological sampling using bonobo feeding patterns to characterize tropical forest resources, finding it comparable to traditional methods after sufficient observation.

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.

Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) density and environmental gradients at their biogeographical range edge

E. G. Wessling, P. Dieguez, M. Llana, L. Pacheco, J. D. Pruetz, H. S. Kühl

The paper examines chimpanzee density and environmental factors at the range edge of western chimpanzees in southeastern Senegal, finding that habitat heterogeneity, floral assemblages, and thermal refuge influence their distribution.
