Acquiring tool‐assisted foraging skills can potentially improve dietary quality and increase fitness for wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). In contrast to chimpanzees in East and West Africa, chimpanzees in the Congo Basin use tool sets and brush‐tipped fishing probes to gather termites. We investigated the ontogeny of these tool skills in chimpanzees of the Goualougo Triangle, Republic of Congo, and compared it to that for chimpanzees at Gombe, Tanzania. We assessed whether chimpanzees acquired simple tool behaviors and single tool use before more complex actions and sequential use of multiple tool types.

刚果Goualougo三角黑猩猩中白蚁聚集的个体发育

获得工具辅助的觅食技能可以潜在地改善饮食质量并提高野生黑猩猩（泛穴居动物）的适应性。与东非和西非的黑猩猩相反，刚果盆地的黑猩猩使用工具集和刷尖的钓鱼探针来收集白蚁。我们调查了刚果共和国Goualougo三角黑猩猩中这些工具技能的存在，并将其与坦桑尼亚Gombe的黑猩猩进行了比较。我们评估了黑猩猩在获得更复杂的动作和顺序使用多种工具之前是否获得了简单的工具行为和单个工具的使用。
