New insights in insect prey choice by chimpanzees and gorillas in southeast Cameroon Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
The insect diet of chimpanzees and gorillas living at the northern periphery of the Dja Biosphere Reserve in southeast Cameroon and its nutritional contribution is described. We analyzed fecal samples and recorded additional evidence of insectivory. A detailed prey species list is presented for both apes. We carried out nutritional analyses (macronutrients, macro- and micro-minerals) on 11 important and eight nonimportant, but accessible, ant ...

Temporal Variation in Insect-eating by Chimpanzees and Gorillas in Southeast Cameroon Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
I studied insect-foraging strategies of great apes and aimed to define niche differentiation in their insect diet. I investigated seasonality in fruit-, foliage-, insect-, and meat-eating by great apes in southeast Cameroon via indirect methods and measured activity and nest densities of insect prey. I used a multinomial logistic regression to analyze the data. Gorilla and chimpanzee insect-, ant-, and termite-eating does not correlate with ...
