Chimpanzee Pan troglodytes Palm Oil Detectives

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are one of humanity’s closest living relatives and the most widespread of all great apes, with a vast historical range stretching across 21 African countries. Despite this, they are now classified as Endangered by the IUCN Red List due to catastrophic declines of more than 50% over a 75-year period, from 1975 to a projected 2050. These losses are driven by a lethal cocktail of threats: rampant poaching, habitat destruction for palm oil and logging, industrial mining

Chimpanzees once helped African rainforests recover from collapse Palm Oil Detectives

Most people probably think that the rainforest of central and west Africa, the second largest in the world, has been around for millions of years. However recent research suggests that it is mostly just 2,000 or so years old. The forest reached roughly its modern state following five centuries of regeneration after it was massively fragmented when the dry season suddenly became longer some 2,500 years ago.

Happy #WorldChimpanzeeDay Interesting fact: #Chimpanzees 🦍😻 are seed dispersers in #Congo 🇨🇩🌳 and kicked off rainforest growth 2000 years ago. Now they face #extinction from #mining, #cocoa #palmoil #deforestation.

Savanna chimps in Senegal use the same ant-dipping strategies as forest populations — because ant aggressiveness, not habitat type, is what drives tool use. New research from Dindefelo unpacks why. #Primatology #Chimpanzees https://www.primatology.net/p/what-the-ants-tell-us-about-chimpanzee

What the Ants Tell Us About Chimpanzee Culture

The strategies savanna chimpanzees use to harvest army ants look almost identical to what forest populations do — and that’s the surprising part

Chimpanzees and bonobos have human-like friend circles, study finds

Great apes appear to build friendships much like humans do. By studying grooming behavior, researchers discovered that chimpanzees and bonobos form close inner circles along with wider networks of weaker social connections. Chimpanzees focus on a few trusted partners and become more selective with age, while bonobos maintain a more egalitarian social style.
