*Wild Savannah Chimpanzees studied as part of Anne-Sophia Crunchant’s research into acoustic communication*

Research Interests

My research interests focus on animal communication and primate conservation. My PhD investigates wild savanna chimpanzee acoustic communication and how to use passive acoustic monitoring as a non-invasive tool for ape conservation. Specifically, I am interested in testing a new method to acoustically estimate chimpanzee density and compare results with more traditional methods such as camera trapping.

Keywords: Passive acoustic monitoring; camera traps; occupancy modelling; spatially explicit capture-recapture; distance sampling; conservation; chimpanzees; vocalisations; detection; density; localisation; vocal behaviour; call rate
