## Abstract Field observations of bipedal posture and locomotion in wild chimpanzees (__Pan troglodytes__) can serve as key evidence for reconstructing the likely origins of bipedalism in the last prehominid human ancestor. This paper reports on a sample of bipedal bouts, recorded ad libitum, in wi
## Abstract All primates regularly move within threeβdimensional arboreal environments and must often climb, but little is known about the energetic costs of this critical activity. Limited previous work on the energetics of incline locomotion suggests that there may be differential selective press
