We also used a method incorporated from the learning sciences, called Epistemic Network Analysis, which is very helpful for visualizing and comparing behavioral variation between groups/contexts. Check out our paper and let me know if you have questions!

We look at variation in tool use within this community and compare how they fish for termites to chimpanzee communities studied by Boesch et al. (2020).
Our chimp community, Ganga, had 46 unique combinations of behaviors to fish for termites and were more similar to savanna-dwelling chimps.
