Weight growth of colony-reared chimpanzees.
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.
