Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media Preface Where We Stand Field workersscientists of animal behavior in naturehave long been fascinated by wild chimpanzees. A person who once has studied wild chimpanzees will be eager to observe them again. A person who has studied them twice will make every effort to continue the study, unless prevented from doing so. In short, behavioral primatology is addictive! Many people, among them Jane

Goodall, Richard Wrangham, and I, do not regret that they have dedicated their whole lives to the study of wild chimpanzees. This is because the apes behavior is always challenging: chimpanzees are cheerful, charming, playful, curious, beautiful, easygoing, generous, tolerant, and trustworthy most of the time, but also are cautious, cunning, ugly, violent, ferocious, bloodthirsty, greedy, and disloyal at other times. We human beings share both the light and dark sides with our closest living relatives. For decades, we have documented huge across-population variation in behavior, as well as within-population variation. Cultural biology, as proposed 0 years ago by Kinji Imanishi, recently has flourished. However, until now there has been no extensive glossary with illustrations, upon which systematic behavioral comparison could be based. In addition to fellow field

workers, we hope that zoo keepers, laboratory researchers and technicians, veterinarians, conservationists, eco-tourism managers, educators and students now will be able to widen and deepen the scope of their activities by making use of the descriptions and audio-visual images in this volume. We hope that laypersons also will find this an enjoyable read at home on the sofa! The team of authors began to use videography in 1999 and launched this editing project in 2003, and we have invested most of our time in it over the last 3 years. After much time and effort spent, the result is perhaps the first attempt to compile a comprehensive ethogram of a single species of mammal. This is a cooperative product in the truest sense of the word. If any

of us had been absent, then we would Preface not have been able to complete this work. Roles were allocated to film, copy, playback, select, and edit, and to edit, interpret, name, describe, reference, and synthesize. The resulting collaborative efforts have been discussed and refined 20 times over in the process. We hope that this book and its accompanying DVD will help to conserve these irreplaceable creatures forever.

Nishida et al., Chimpanzee Behavior in the Wild: An Audio-Visual Encyclopedia, DOI 10.1007/978-4-431-53895-0 1, Springer 2010 1 Introduction This book is an audio-visual ethogram that lists, describes, and defines, with video clips, all the known behavioral patterns of wild chimpanzees. As far

as we know, this is the first attempt to do this for any mammalian species on earth. The behavioral patterns listed have been recorded mostly for the M-group chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania, where we have been doing research since 19 5. However, we have made a great effort to add patterns described from other study-sites known to us only through articles, books and videos. This book is based on a previous ethogram that had neither video clips nor illustrations, but the glossary has been much expanded. Since 1999, videographic recording often has been used at Mahale for research on various topics, particularly social interactions, although earlier cinematographic records were occasionally made from 1971 onwards. We have compiled video clips for almost all of the

behavioral patterns listed. From 1999 to 2009, new long-term study sites have been established, and many articles and books dealing with the behavioral patterns of chimpanzees have appeared. Research on gestures in captivity has also been published. With this new material, it is now easier to recognize possible differences across sites than was the case in 1999. It is well-known that chimpanzees show much local, as well as age, sex, and idiosyncratic, variation in behavior. What implications does the compilation of the audio-visual ethogram have for these issues? Our books purpose is to stimulate and to facilitate ape behavioral studies by addressing the questions below. In particular, this publication pays attention to some behavioral variations that have been neglected so far, and we hope that this will encourage

more detailed comparative and developmental studies. First, we address the question of what kind of behavioral patterns may have been present in the last common ancestor of Pan and Homo. This is a crucial question if we wish to reconstruct the behavior and ecology of early hominids such as the australopithecines, because they may have had similar patterns. T. Nishida et al., Chimpanzee Behavior in the Wild: An Audio-Visual Encyclopedia, DOI 10.1007/978-4-431-53895-0 2, Springer 2010 7 8 Introduction Second, it is often said that among animals only human beings depend much more on learning than on instinct. However, the extent to which chimpanzees depend on learning, especially social learning, is not well understood. A simple behavioral pattern such as social scratch not only is absent at some sites

but also way of scratching varies from site to site in its details. Audio-visual representations help to persuade skeptics of the richness of this variation. Third, how do chimpanzees acquire behavioral patterns as they mature? In relation to the second question above, we study the development of behavioral patterns. Some behavioral patterns are learned from the mother, but others from playmates, as with humans. Only recently has it been shown that social customs such as the grooming-hand-clasp develop more slowly than do ant-fishing techniques. Audio-visual data make it easier to compare changes in the behavioral patterns of individuals as they mature. Fourth, we study individuality and idiosyncracy in behavior. Little attention has been paid to this aspect of behavior, with a few notable exceptions. Idiosyncratic behavioral patterns are

important because they are the seeds or origins of local culture. Fifth, in which domains are local behavioral differences most remarkable? This should be addressed if we want to infer the evolutionary origins of human culture. The extent of local differences has not been well-investigated, except for tool use, partly because most study-sites of chimpanzees lack a detailed ethogram. As new research sites have been opened, new behavioral patterns have been reported one after another, such as digging in the ground with implements or penetrating it with perforating tools. In order to know the most variable domains, however, we need for the full range of behavioral patterns to be illuminated, despite the continuing attractiveness of tool use. It may be that social behavior shows more local and individual

differences than does tool using. Sixth, heretofore unknown sex differences in behavioral patterns may emerge as more detailed observations are made. For example, through video-recording, we have noticed that immature females tend to play more in trees than do their male counterparts, and when females play on the ground, they tend to perform more somersaults than do males. Seventh, this book also may contribute to the further testing of the gestural origin hypothesis of human language origins. Gestures appear to be integral to spoken language, because they accompany the speech of people who are blind from birth. Observations of spontaneous behavior in captivity show that chimpanzees and bonobos use brachio-manual gestures more flexibly across contexts than they do facial expressions and vocalizations. Gestures seem less closely tied to

particular emotions, hence they possess more adaptable functional potential. Pollick and de Waal advocate the gestural origins of language Introduction 9 hypothesis because gestures are evolutionarily younger, and thus likely to be under greater cortical control than are facial or vocal signals. Few studies of hand preference in gestural communications have been done, although studies of lateralization of tool use are many. Plentiful examples of gestural communications shown in this book might stimulate research on the symbolic connotations of ape gestures and on hand preference in gestures. Last but not least, we expect that our efforts at exhaustive listing of behavioral patterns will merge in future with research on the chimpanzee genome. Genomic research on chimpanzees, although successful, is still far from explaining the genetic basis of behavioral

patterns. We anticipate that this ethogram will contribute to the synthesis of the chimpanzee genome study. The audio-visual ethogram will be useful not only in facilitating more precise comparisons between sites, but also in providing students and ordinary people with knowledge and materials that will stimulate them to conserve great apes. Listing the behavioral patterns of a local population of chimpanzees in principle includes: behavioral patterns of the LCA of Pan and Homo; patterns common to the genus Pan, namely chimpanzees and bonobos, but not to Homo; patterns common to the chimpanzee Pan troglodytes, but not the bonobo Pan paniscus; patterns common to eastern and central, but not western and Nigerian chimpanzees, in view of the recent cladistic analyses of culture; patterns unique to the eastern chimpanzees, P.

t. schweinfurthii; patterns unique to the Mahale population; customary patterns unique to many individuals of M group chimpanzees; habitual patterns limited to a few individuals of M group; rare patterns observed only in a single individual. The class of behavioral category outlined above to which each behavioral pattern belongs will not be conclusively clear until extensive research and comparison is done across many groups of local populations. However, a preliminary estimate can be made for some of the best-known patterns; for example, few would deny that groom was in the behavioral repertoire of the LCA. In such cases, we put, in the column termed Category after each behavioral patterns description. Studies of the behavioral patterns of Homo sapiens and bonobo have been published, although to a lesser extent

than studies on chimpanzees. Therefore, behavioral comparisons between chimpanzee, bonobo and human can be made to some extent. Many authors have pointed out behavioral similarities and differences between human and chimpanzee. Some behavioral patterns are common to both human and chimpanzee but not bonobo, as well as patterns common to both human and bonobo but not chimpanzee. 10 Introduction These behavioral patterns are either those of the LCA of Pan and Homo, which either chimpanzee or bonobo has lost, or patterns that were lacking in the LCA but evolved in both man and only one species of Pan in parallel after the split of chimpanzee and bonobo. In such cases, we tentatively show 3, the status of which remains ambiguous. The behavioral patterns of the LCA more likely

are to be found in Categories, or than in others. Preliminary comparisons have already suggested interesting contrasts between chimpanzee and bonobo. If we scrutinize the minute details of the behavioral patterns of these sibling species, we may find many more differences between them. As less is known of the behavior of the two chimpanzee subspecies of central Africa, it is presently impossible to delineate Category above. However, recent progress at Goualougo is encouraging. Also, an increasing amount of information has emerged on West African chimpanzees, especially those of the Ta Forest, Bossou, and Fongoli, in addition to older data from Kanka Sili and Assirik, we can tentatively regard the common patterns of eastern and western chimpanzees as candidates for behavior common to the species Pan troglodytes. Since most

chimpanzees kept in European zoos are of the west African subspecies, behavior of captive chimpanzees provide much information on this subspecies. Behavioral patterns belonging to Categories 5, or 7 are most likely to be cultural, but their status remains ambiguous, until it is determined by careful comparison whether the environmental factors that might explain the local differences are present or absent. Methods In compiling an audio-visual ethogram of Mahale chimpanzees, we mostly followed principles used by Nishida et al. First, we tried to make the ethogram maximally inclusive. Second, we distinguished functional definitions from anatomical ones. Elements of the latter should be provided for all functionally-defined behavioral patterns. In order to attain this goal, we adopted the format of putting verbs in front of nouns or adjectives for

the description of behavioral patterns. For example, we used hunch bipedal or clip leaf instead of bipedal hunch or leaf-clip. Moreover, in this version, we used only a single noun when it was more appropriate. For example, we listed toy instead of play toy because toy is enough to show that play is involved. Third, differently from the previous version, in this paper we included as many video clips as possible in the DVD. If we had no video clips for a particular behavior pattern, then we made effort to add illustrations of the behavioral pattern in the form of photographs, video-frames, or drawings, so that researchers at other study sites can verify whether the patterns that they see are the same or different from the ones described

by us. In order to classify behavioral patterns hierarchically and to describe social relationships, both anatomical and functional terms are needed. This books major aim is to list the names of all the behavioral elements in terms of anatomical details, but we also need functional terms in order to denote behavior that is meaningful in the natural environment. For example, approach is a functional term. Although it is simply walk or run from the anatomical perspective, when one chimpanzee comes closer to another, some interaction will likely occur between them. Therefore, we must have a term approach in addition to walk, and so on. Moreover, from the perspective of cognitive psychology, we need functional terms. For example, a chimpanzee who detours illustrates an important aspect of social cognition,

in that the chimpanzee predicts from experience an associates future behavior and changes her route accordingly, although detour may be nothing but glance plus walk. Deceive is a much more difficult functional term, as it entails an inference by the observer about the apes intentions. Deception may not be linked to any particular motor pattern, but if we ignore this term we will fail to capture an important part of the cognitive abilities of the chimpanzee. T. Nishida et al., Chimpanzee Behavior in the Wild: An Audio-Visual Encyclopedia, DOI 10.1007/978-4-431-53895-0 3, Springer 2010 11 12 Methods Some behavior occurs as a sequence of different behavioral patterns or behavioral complexes; the charging display is an example of such a sequence. Some terms designate several morphologically distinct behavioral patterns that

occur in similar contexts and have similar functions, although they may not occur simultaneously. Thus, we divide behavior patterns into four types: Type A denotes simple, anatomical terms such as walk bipedal; Type B is for complex anatomical terms such as wrestle; Type C is for simple functional terms such as approach; and Type D is for complex functional terms such as abuse. We designate the applicable Type for each term. We have employed as many terms as possible from previous works, in particular Goodall, van Hooff, Bygott, Berdecio and Nash, Plooij, Kano and Call and Tomasello, as well as Nishida et al. Many new terms, such as groom self are introduced here, but we do not seek to persuade readers to use neologisms. If we were to

follow conventional usage and list terms by alphabetical order, then groom and selfgroom would be placed many pages apart from each other although they designate the same motor pattern. To avoid such inconsistency, conventional terms were rearranged so that the action was emphasized, and this policy of neologism was consistent with the verb first principle outlined above. Three-letter representations of behavioral patterns are useful in recording activities quickly and for displaying them economically in illustrations. Accordingly, we borrowed from Plooij when the appropriate abbreviation was available, but because Plooijs ethogram concerned mostly mother-infant behaviors, most of our abbreviations were new. Goodalls glossary descriptions were reproduced in the explanation of terms, if the behavioral patterns were the same as those seen at Mahale. The category numbers of used in

the glossary below follow the principles explained above in the Introduction.
