Social structure and life-history patterns in western gorillas
Article Abstract:
Data on western gorilla social structure and life histories from four study sites is presented which makes comparisons with eastern gorilla populations. Key questions to be addressed utilizing information from sites representing a wide variety of ecological conditions are discussed to develop a better understanding of the way these conditions shape the social structure and life history pattern of all gorillas.
