Wild chimpanzees drum on tree buttresses during dominance displays and travel, generating low‐frequency sounds that are audible over distances of more than 1 km. Western chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes verus ) in the Nimba Mountains of Guinea selectively choose trees and buttresses when drumming, potentially based on their resonant properties, sugges...
Many species communicate by combining signals into multimodal combinations. Elephants live in multi-level societies where individuals regularly separate and reunite. Upon reunion, elephants often engage in elaborate greeting rituals, where they use vocalisations and body acts produced with different body parts and of various sensory modalities (e.g...
Many animal species use vocal and nonvocal acoustic signals to communicate over large distances. Wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, drum on the buttress roots of trees, generating low-frequency sounds that can reach distances of over 1 km. Buttress drumming is produced in bouts of beats and is often accompanied by pant hoots, the species-typical lo...
We study the behaviour and cognition of wild apes and other species (elephants, corvids, dogs). Our video archive is called the Great Ape Dictionary, you can find out more here www.greatapedictionary.com or about our lab group here www.wildminds.ac.uk We consider these videos to be a data ark that we would like to make as accessible as possible.
