Effects of epidemic diseases on the distribution of bonobos. by Bila-Isia Inogwabini, Nigel Leader-Williams

“…This study examined how outbreaks and the occurrence of Anthrax, Ebola, Monkeypox and Trypanosomiasis may differentially affect the distribution of bonobos (Pan paniscus). Using a combination of mapping, Jaccard overlapping coefficients and binary regressions, the study determined how each disease correlated with the extent of occurrence of, and the areas occupied by, bonobos. …”

Functional flexibility in wild bonobo vocal behaviour by Zanna Clay, Jahmaira Archbold, Klaus Zuberbühler

“…Here, we revisited the presumed chasm in functional flexibility between human and non-human primate vocal behaviour, with a study on our closest living primate relatives, the bonobo (Pan paniscus). We found that wild bonobos use a specific call type (the “peep”) across a range of contexts that cover the full valence range (positive-neutral-negative) in much of their daily activities, including feeding, travel, rest, aggression, alarm, nesting and grooming. …”

Does culture shape hunting behavior in bonobos? by Andrew Whiten

“…New evidence that neighboring communities of bonobos hunt different prey species, despite extensive overlaps in where they live and hunt, is difficult to explain without invoking cultural factors.…”

Bonobos fall within the genomic variation of chimpanzees. by Anne Fischer, Kay Prüfer, Jeffrey M Good, Michel Halbwax, Victor Wiebe, Claudine André, Rebeca Atencia, Lawrence Mugisha, Susan E Ptak, Svante Pääbo

“…To gain insight into the patterns of genetic variation and evolutionary relationships within and between bonobos and chimpanzees, we sequenced 150,000 base pairs of nuclear DNA divided among 15 autosomal regions as well as the complete mitochondrial genomes from 20 bonobos and 58 chimpanzees. …”

The bonobo genome compared with the chimpanzee and human genomes by Prüfer, K, Munch, K, Hellmann, I, Akagi, K, Miller, JR, Walenz, B, Koren, S, Sutton, G, Kodira, C, Winer, R, Knight, JR, Mullikin, J, Meader, S, Ponting, C, Lunter, G, Higashino, S, Hobolth, A, Dutheil, J, Karakoç, E, Alkan, C, Sajjadian, S, Catacchio, C, Ventura, M, Marques-Bonet, T, Eichler, E

“…Two African apes are the closest living relatives of humans: the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the bonobo (Pan paniscus). Although they are similar in many respects, bonobos and chimpanzees differ strikingly in key social and sexual behaviours, and for some of these traits they show more similarity with humans than with each other. …”
