Prey preference of the chimpanzee Pan troglodytes

Data was collected through a comprehensive literature search through JSTOR, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using the search terms: “chimpanzee” or “Pan troglodytes” AND “prey preference” OR “hunt*” OR “diet” OR “predation” OR “hunting strategies”. Studies that did not have sufficient data were excluded from consideration. Insufficient data included studies that had only one or two prey species listed, or that included only qualitative data. Where only kill or abundance data were provided, the authors were contacted for supplementary information, or we contacted other authors who worked at the same site at about the same time (+/- 5 years). If an author did not respond, we searched for information for the same study area around the same year using Google Scholar.
