Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) gaze following in the informed forager paradigm : analysis with cross correlations
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-19) - ThesisI tested two pairs of captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in the informed forager paradigm: a subordinate saw the location of hidden bait, and then searched with a naïve dominant. This paradigm has tested what subjects ... -
Chimpanzee accumulative stone throwing
(2016-02-29) - Journal articleThe study of the archaeological remains of fossil hominins must rely on reconstructions to elucidate the behaviour that may have resulted in particular stone tools and their accumulation. Comparatively, stone tool use among ... -
Chimpanzee alarm call production meets key criteria for intentionality
(2013-10-16) - Journal articleDetermining the intentionality of primate communication is critical to understanding the evolution of human language. Although intentional signalling has been claimed for some great ape gestural signals, comparable evidence ... -
Chimpanzee lip-smacking facilitates cooperative behaviour
(2015-08-21) - Journal articleSignalling plays an important role in facilitating and maintaining affiliative or cooperative interactions in social animals. Social grooming in primates is an example of an interaction that requires coordination between ... -
Chimpanzee uses manipulative gaze cues to conceal and reveal information to foraging competitor
(2017-03) - Journal articleTactical deception has been widely reported in primates on a functional basis, but details of behavioral mechanisms are usually unspecified. We tested a pair of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in the informed forager paradigm, ... -
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) display limited behavioural flexibility when faced with a changing foraging task requiring tool use
(2018-02-19) - Journal articleBehavioural flexibility, the ability to alter behaviour in response to environmental feedback, and to relinquish previously successful solutions to problems, is a crucial ability in allowing organisms to adapt to novel ... -
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) Flexibly Adjust Their Behaviour in Order to Maximize Payoffs, Not to Conform to Majorities
(2013-11-27) - Journal articleChimpanzees have been shown to be adept learners, both individually and socially. Yet, sometimes their conservative nature seems to hamper the flexible adoption of superior alternatives, even to the extent that they persist ... -
Chimpanzees communicate to two different audiences during aggressive interactions
(2015-12) - Journal articleConflict and aggressive interactions are common phenomena in group-living animals and vocal behaviour often plays an important role in determining their outcomes. In some species, vocal signals seem to provide bystanders ... -
Chimpanzees coordinate in a snowdrift game
(2016-06) - Journal articleThe snowdrift game is a model for studying social coordination in the context of competing interests. We presented pairs of chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, with a situation in which they could either pull a weighted tray ... -
Chimpanzees copy dominant and knowledgeable individuals : implications for cultural diversity
(2015-01) - Journal articleEvolutionary theory predicts that natural selection will fashion cognitive biases to guide when, and from whom, individuals acquire social information, but the precise nature of these biases, especially in ecologically ... -
Chimpanzees Extract Social Information from Agonistic Screams
(2010-07-14) - Journal articleChimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) agonistic screams are graded vocal signals that are produced in a context-specific manner. Screams given by aggressors and victims can be discriminated based on their acoustic structure but the ... -
Chimpanzees prioritise social information over pre-existing behaviours in a group context but not in dyads
(2018-03-24) - Journal articleHow animal communities arrive at homogeneous behavioural preferences is a central question for studies of cultural evolution. Here, we investigated whether chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) would relinquish a pre-existing ... -
Chimpanzees' responses to the dead body of a 9-year-old group member
(2016-09) - Journal articleThe social behavior of chimpanzees has been extensively studied, yet not much is known about how they behave in response to the death of a group member. Here, we provide a detailed report of the reactions of a group of ... -

Chiral assemblies of nickel lysinate via the corrosive adsorption of (S)-lysine on Ni/Au{111}
(2014-11) - Journal articleThe adsorption of (S)-lysine onto submonolayer coverages of Ni on Au{111} was investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy and reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy. Arrays of two-dimensional Ni nanoclusters were ... -
Chiral iridium(III) complexes in light-emitting electrochemical cells : exploring the impact of stereochemistry on the photophysical properties and device performances
(2016-12-14) - Journal articleDespite hundreds of cationic bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes having been explored as emitters for Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells (LEECs), uniformly their composition has been in the form of a racemic mixture ... -
Chiral phanephos derived catalysts and their application in asymmetric catalysis
(University of St Andrews, 2013) - ThesisThe research presented in this thesis is a project funded by the EU-network of the Marie Curie project NANO-HOST in collaboration with partner institutes. The aims of this network are to develop innovative methods for ... -
