MeSH headings : Animals; Anthropometry / methods; Body Weight; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Female; Hominidae; Male; Pan paniscus / physiology
TL;DR: It is found that the novel equation predicts bonobo body mass most accurately overall (41 of 56 bonobos predicted within 20% of their observed body mass) and the novel BMPE is particularly accurate between 25 and 45 kg. (via Semantic Scholar)
