    Ebola outbreak killed 5000 gorillas (2006)

    Publication Date: 2006-12-13
    Description: Over the past decade, the Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV) has repeatedly emerged in Gabon and Congo. Each human outbreak has been accompanied by reports of gorilla and chimpanzee carcasses in neighboring forests, but both the extent of ape mortality and the causal role of ZEBOV have been hotly debated. Here, we present data suggesting that in 2002 and 2003 ZEBOV killed about 5000 gorillas in our study area. The lag between neighboring gorilla groups in mortality onset was close to the ZEBOV disease cycle length, evidence that group-to-group transmission has amplified gorilla die-offs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bermejo, Magdalena -- Rodriguez-Teijeiro, Jose Domingo -- Illera, German -- Barroso, Alex -- Vila, Carles -- Walsh, Peter D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Dec 8;314(5805):1564.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Ecosystemes Forestiers d'Afrique Centrale (ECOFAC), Box Postale 15115 Libreville, Gabon. magda_bermejo@yahoo.es〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17158318" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Behavior of bonobos (Pan paniscus) following their capture of monkeys in Zaire (1993)
    Springer
    International journal of primatology 14 (1993), S. 797-804

    ISSN: 1573-8604
    Keywords: capture ; forced interaction ; Pan paniscus ; Colobus angolensis ; Cercopithecus ascanius

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract For the first time, three cases of capture and forced interaction were observed between bonobos (Pan paniscus)and two other species of primates (Colobus angolensisand Cercopithecus ascanius)in the Lilungu (Ikela) region, Republic of Zaire. The bonobos interacted with the captured primates as if they were dealing with individuals of their own species. They sought cooperation in their interactions with the captured young primates without scccess. There is no evidence that they ate the captives.

    New observations on the tool-behavior of chimpanzees from Mt. Assirik (Senegal, West Africa) (1989)
    Springer
    Primates 30 (1989), S. 65-73 
    Details
    ISSN: 0032-8332
    Keywords: Pan troglodytes ; Chimpanzee tool behavior ; Subcultural areas
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The tool-behavior of chimpanzees were studied at the Mt. Assirik, in the Parc National du Niokolo-Koba, Senegal from December 1982 to June 1983 and from February 1985 to January 1986. Five leaf-stalks to obtain termites ofMacrotermes subhyalinus species and four sticks to obtain honey (this is the first report on the use of tools to obtain honey by wild chimpanzees in far western Africa) were found; we also report the first evidence of tools probably used as hammers to break open hard-shelled fruits ofAdansonia digitata. We conclude that Mt. Assirik chimpanzees provide evidence of a certain cultural behavior related to the use of stones.
