Correlates of territorial boundary patrol behaviour in wild chimpanzees
Article Abstract:
A study aims on several ecological and social factors that potentially influence the terrestrial boundary patrols that are a distinctive and unique aspect of wild chimpanzee behaviour. The study revealed that the male party size were the single best predictors of the tendency to patrol and lethal intergroup aggression occurs in chimpanzees and patrol are likely to be dangerous and costly.
