Abstract
⺠Male chimpanzees defend group territories and sometimes kill their neighbours. ⺠Food, not females, determined when intergroup encounters occurred. ⺠Chimpanzees travelled to danger zones when food was more abundant there. ⺠Chimpanzees responded more aggressively when they had more adult males. ⺠In decisions to escalate a contest, females, infants and food did not matter as much as strength in numbers.
