Summary
Chimpanzees live in multi-male, multi-female communities & are highly territorial. In a forest, there are usually several communities of chimpanzees, each with its own home range. In addition, there are sex differences in chimpanzee territoriality. However little is known about territoriality among females. Here, we discuss differences in territoriality among females from two neighboring chimpanzee communities at the Budongo Conservation Field Station (BCFS) — Sonso & Waibira — in the Budongo Forest, Uganda.
