From nest to nest- influence of ecology and reproduction on the active period of adult Gombe chimpanzees

Article Abstract:

The influence of sex, female reproductive status, dominance rank, and season on the duration of the active period of adult chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, Tanzania is investigated. The findings indicate that sexually nonreceptive females have shorter active periods compared to males, while receptive females have longer active periods than males.
