The literature pertaining to chimpanzee social structure, mating strategies, and dispersal is extensive, and attests to the complexity of chimpanzee behavior and population dynamics. Authors report data from several long-term studies and many shorter studies of wild and captive chimpanzees that pertain to reproductive strategies and associated behavior, but no previous attempt has been made to bring together these data into one document. This review summarizes the data and conclusions from behavioral studies of chimpanzees, and puts them into the context of reproductive strategies.
