Chimpanzee energetics, ecology, and evolution

2016-07-21

Abstract excerpt

Chimpanzees have the largest relative brain size, greatest reproductive output, and longest lifespan of any non-human ape; they also have the highest level of physical activity in the wild, as measured by daily walking and climbing distances. In this study, we examined variation in total energy expenditure (TEE, kcal/day), body composition, oxidative stress, and physical activity to test whether chimpanzees have e...
