Body weight data, collected routinely from the US Air Force chimpanzee colony at Holloman AFB, was used for a longitudinal analysis of growth. Data were fitted to a model based on human growth patterns, which is described and compared to other treatments applied to growth data. Results are compared to other observations of chimpanzee and of human growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
