Effect of increased space on behaviors of captive chimpanzees (1991)

Matevia, M., Fritz, J., Nankivell, B.

Abstract

The results suggest that increased space may reduce some social interactions. It is not clear if levels of social activity [in general] in smaller spaces are 'abnormally' high, and are reduced to more 'normal' levels following an increase in available space.
