Abstract
This thesis is composed of 3 manuscripts formatted for submission to the American Journal of Primatology. This chapter introduces the rest of the thesis. Each of the following chapters is complete as written and needs no additional support material. A study was conducted on the chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes, population at the Tulsa Zoo. The study was divided into 3 components. These components comprise the remaining 3 chapters of this thesis. Chapter II, Spatial selection in captive adult chimpanzees, addresses habitat utilization. Chapter III, Association patterns in captive adult chimpanzees, analyzes time spent in solitary and social interactions and interactive partners. Chapter IV, Behavior exhibited by captive adult chimpanzees, reviews the behavioral activities of the chimpanzees.
