Chimpanzee Highways: Gene Flow and Connectivity at Itwara Forest Reserve
REFNo: NS36ES
This study will focus on a chimpanzee metapopulation, which likely spans several protected areas in western Uganda by utilizing Itwara Forest Reserve (hereafter ‘Itwara’) as a connective corridor. Contrasting environments characterize at least two of those areas; closed-forest habitat dominates Itwara Forest Reserve (Howard 1991), while closely neighboring Toro-Semliki is usually described as an “open habitat,†(Hunt and McGrew 2002). Initial observations suggest that chimpanzees utilize a connective corridor of ~4 km between those two reserves, not only for rare dispersal events, but also for regular ranging within a single community’s territory (Rich et al. in prep). Here we are proposing to test whether chimpanzees do use a connective corridor between the two reserves, where the chimpanzee-selected corridor is, and what motivates travel through it (i.e. dispersal, foraging, etc.). We will examine the evolutionary and conservation-based implications of corridor-use by Toro-Semliki/Itwara chimpanzees and lay the groundwork for long term, multi-species connectivity research in and around Itwara Forest Reserve using indirect methods. If chimpanzees are using this corridor, then we will expand our research to examine other potential connective corridors that extend from Itwara Forest Reserve into other protected areas such as Kibale National Park and Muhangi Forest Reserve.
