Understanding ‘village chimpanzees’: Exploring behaviour and adaptation in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) living outside protected areas to inform conservation
REFNo: NS713ES
The specific goals of this innovative research project are to:
(1) Identify and document the behavioural responses and adaptations of wild chimpanzees in the Budongo-Bugoma corridor to novel situations and risks presented by this unprotected, human-dominated landscape (i.e., unique behaviours that are rarely or never observed in chimpanzees living in minimally disturbed, protected habitats). Specific behaviours and situations of interest for this project include:
(a) Dietary adaptations including the consumption and selection of agricultural crops and other exotic plants;
(b) Home range and habitat use patterns including use of forest fragments, plantations, farmland, village and peri-urban environs;
(c) Behavioural responses to risks presented by roads and vehicle traffic;
(d) Behavioural responses to encounters with novel objects such as household and litter items, with specific focus on pathways for zoonotic disease transmission via contact with human artefacts (anthrozoonoses);
(e) Behavioural responses of chimpanzees to encounters with humans, livestock and other domestic animals.
(2) Examine variation in these behavioural responses and adaptations among multiple chimpanzee groups (e.g., inter-group variation in crop selection and use of exotic trees for nesting) and within groups over time (e.g., temporal changes in crop feeding behaviour and habitat/range use within single social groups).
(3) Determine the demographic characteristics and population dynamics of chimpanzee groups in the Budongo-Bugoma corridor, including:
(a) Establishing group sizes and composition (including male/female sex ratios) and using long-term records to track demographic changes over time;
(b) Reproductive health (including proportions of mature females with dependent offspring; interbirth intervals);
(c) Evidence for female migration in this fragmented habitat (as a measure of population health and viability).
These demographic parameters will be compared with published demographic data from chimpanzees living in less disturbed, protected environments, including in Uganda (e.g., Budongo Forest Reserve; Kibale National Park).
The overall objectives of this research are to:
(1) To collect, compile and contrast primary data on a unique metapopulation of wild chimpanzees (i.e., multiple resident social groups forming a larger regional population) living in the unprotected, human-modified landscape of the Budongo-Bugoma Corridor.
(2) To shed new light on the behavioural repertoire of this endangered great ape in response to human impacts and associated habitat changes.
(3) To use insights to inform and assist the development of conservation strategies for chimpanzees living in unprotected habitat in the Budongo-Bugoma corridor and in other village environs in western Uganda.
(4) To provide a useful model for researching ‘village chimpanzees’ through empowering local community members, which could serve as a template for conservation monitoring of great apes where they occur outside Protected Areas elsewhere in tropical Africa.
