Call combinations, vocal exchanges and interparty movement in wild bonobos (2016)
Journal Article
Schamberg, I., Cheney, D. L., Clay, Z., Hohmann, G., & Seyfarth, R. M. (2016). Call combinations, vocal exchanges and interparty movement in wild bonobos. Animal Behaviour, 122, 109-116. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.10.003

The vocal repertoire of nonhuman primates is largely fixed. Individuals produce their species-specific vocalizations from a young age, and do not acquire new call types over their lifetime. Despite these limitations, however, monkeys and apes are abl... Read More about Call combinations, vocal exchanges and interparty movement in wild bonobos.

A Comparison Between Bonobos and Chimpanzees: A Review and Update (2016)
Journal Article

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (P. paniscus) are our closest living relatives, with the human lineage diverging from the Pan lineage only around five to seven Mya, but possibly as early as eight Mya.1–2 Chimpanzees and bonobos even share g...

Bonobos (Pan paniscus) vocally protest against violations of social expectations (2016)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., Ravaux, L., de Waal, F. B., & Zuberbühler, K. (2016). Bonobos (Pan paniscus) vocally protest against violations of social expectations. Journal of Comparative Psychology, 130(1), 44-54. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0040088

Research has shown that great apes possess certain expectations about social regularities and both perceive and act according to social rules within their group. During natural and experimentally induced contexts, such as the inequitable distribution... Read More about Bonobos (Pan paniscus) vocally protest against violations of social expectations.

Obstacles and catalysts to peaceful coexistence in chimpanzees and bonobos. (2016)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., de Waal, F. B., & Furuichi, T. (2016). Obstacles and catalysts to peaceful coexistence in chimpanzees and bonobos. Behaviour, 153(9-11), 1293-1330. https://doi.org/10.1163/1568539x-00003335

As our closest living relatives, comparisons of the social lives and behavioural ecologies of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus) provide relevant insights into the evolutionary constraints of peaceful coexistence in Hominid soci...
