In the West, many know of the pioneering work of Jane Goodall, whose studies of these apes at Gombe in Tanzania are justly famous. Less well-known, but equally important, are the studies carried out by Toshisada Nishida on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. Comparison between the two sites yields both notable similarities and startling contrasts. Nishida has written a comprehensive synthesis of his work on the behaviour and ecology of the chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains. With topics ranging from individual development to population-specific behavioural patterns, it reveals the complexity of social life, from male struggles for dominant status to female travails in raising offspring. Richly illustrated, the author blends anecdotes with powerful data to explore the fascinating world of the chimpanzees of the lakeshore. 606 $aChimpanzees$xBehavior$zTanzania$zMahale Mountains National Park 606 $aChimpanzees$xEcology$zTanzania$zMahale Mountains National Park 615 0$aChimpanzees$xBehavior 615 0$aChimpanzees$xEcology 676 $a599.88509678/28 686 $aSCI070050$2bisacsh 700 $aNishida$b Toshisada$f1941-2011,$01677205 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823576803321 996 $aChimpanzees of the lakeshore$94043899 997 $aUNINA
