Life and Death in the Gombe Chimpanzees: Skeletal Analysis as an Insight into Life History

Preface
1    The Gombe skeletal sample and case studies    1.1 Introduction    
    1.2 Previous studies of the Gombe skeletal collection    
    1.3 Dominance rank    
    1.4 Skeletal analysis    
    1.5 Individual cases    
2    Analysis of skeletal lesions    
    2.1 Introduction
    2.2 Materials and methods    
    2.3 Is the skeletal sample representative of the overall population at Gombe?
    2.4 What percent of the sample exhibits trauma and pathology?  
    2.5 What are the most frequently affected elements?
    2.6 Arthropathy    
    2.7 Dental lesions    
    2.8 Are there sex differences in rates of trauma?  Are there sex differences in location/pattern of trauma?    
    2.9 Analysis of proportion of traumatic lesions    
    2.10 Sex differences in trauma rate
    2.11 Do rates of trauma differ between traumatic versus non-traumatic causes of death?
    2.12 Do trauma rates increase with age?
    2.13 Are there sex differences in rates of pathology?  Are there sex differences in location/pattern of pathology?
    2.14 Proportion of pathologic lesions
    2.15 Sex differences in pathology rate
    2.16 Do pathology rates increase with age?
    2.17 Do rates of skeletal lesions differ between dominance rank categories?  
    2.18 Does age account for the effect size of the influence of rank on skeletal lesions?
    2.19 Comparison with Kibale
    
3 Discussion    
    3.1 Sex differences in skeletal lesion rate
    3.2 The complex relationship between dominance rank and skeletal lesions
