Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: The Chimpanzees of NgogoKibale National Park, Uganda Wednesday, October 24, 2018 The wild Ngogo chimpanzee community, ranging through a large tract of virgin rainforest in southwest Uganda, is the largest in the world. Research at Ngogo focuses on exploring the ecological reasons for this unusual demographic situation and its influence on chimp behavior. Past and ongoing topics of study include intra- and inter-sexual social relationships and cooperation, kinship and social relationships, mating behavior and reproductive success, hunting and meat sharing, territorial behavior, and feeding ecology. Intense observation and coordination with local communities, continual since 1993, supports the preservation of this highly endangered species. Sarah will speak about her 5 month stay at the field site, and her own research project on vocal greeting behavior. Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Location: Kline, Faculty Dining Room Sponsor: Environmental and Urban Studies Program
