The form and functions of leadership in wild chimpanzees
REFNo: NS288ES
This project will establish chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) as a new comparative model of human-like leadership by testing how individual variation across a leader’s temperament, behaviour, and physiology shapes collective action in natural social groups. The first aim of the project is to support continuing long-term data collection by the Kibale Chimpanzee Project. We have three additional research aims that are specific to this project: (1) to identify and describe different domains of leadership in wild chimpanzees; (2) identify and describe the characteristics of chimpanzee leaders; and (3) evaluate the success of different pathways to leadership for chimpanzees. This project aims to collect both observational and experimental data that will provide detailed empirical insight into leadership among wild chimpanzees
