The Method of Local Restriction website

Are you a non-human great ape expert (e.g. researcher, animal keeper or vet?). Would you like to contribute to a great ape collaborative project? We are creating an up-to-date list of potential "locally restricted behaviors" in great apes and we would appreciate your help.

What are locally restricted behaviors? Locally restricted behaviors are behaviors only found in a single population (or connected populations that exist close by) of a great ape species¹ .

If you would like to contribute, please follow this link to the "Tables of Behaviors" , which contain the potential locally restricted behaviors we have compiled so far and follow the instructions on how to contribute.

You can also find additional information about the project by clicking "The project".

Thank you so much!
