Hunting is one of the greatest threats to nonhuman primates worldwide. Despite Madagascar’s status as a primate mega-diversity country, a critical lack of information on the hunting of lemurs at the national scale persists. Here, we synthesize the current state of knowledge of the annual rates of household-level lemur hunting near ten protected areas, representing most ecoregions in Madagascar. We...... hiện toàn bộ
Citizen’s Perceptions of Urban Black Howler Monkeys (Alouatta pigra) in the City of Palenque (Mexico): A Case Study to Aid Policy DecisionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 44 - Trang 357-376 - 2022
Montserrat Franquesa-Soler, Denise Spaan, Alma Hernández-Jaramillo, Ellen Andresen
The outcomes of human-wildlife interactions depend largely on how animals are perceived by humans. All American primates are forest specialists, but due to habitat loss they are increasingly using urban areas. However, relatively little is known about people’s perceptions of urban primates in American cities. Our goals were to (1) determine the locations used by black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigr...... hiện toàn bộ
Habitat, diet, and activity patterns of free-ranging woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides E. Geoffroy 1806)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 491-514 - 1984
Katharine Milton
Results of a 10-month study of the ecology and behavior of free- ranging woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides)in Brazil show that these animals are strongly folivorous. Leaf-eating accounted for more than 50% of the total feeding time in all samples but one and accounted for more than 80% of the total feeding time in three samples. Mature foliage was routinely ea...... hiện toàn bộ
Conceptualization and Measurement of Habitat Fragmentation from the Primates’ PerspectiveSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 - Trang 497-514 - 2009
Víctor Arroyo-Rodríguez, Salvador Mandujano
Habitat fragmentation is one of the principal threats to primates. Studies of primates in fragments usually conclude that fragmentation negatively affects some aspect of their biology or ecology. Nevertheless, the definition and quantification of fragmentation vary considerably among studies, resulting in contradictions and results that are difficult to interpret. We here 1) discuss the problems a...... hiện toàn bộ
Sympatric Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) and Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Loango National Park, Gabon: Dietary Composition, Seasonality, and Intersite ComparisonsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 32 - Trang 755-775 - 2011
Josephine S. Head, Christophe Boesch, Loïc Makaga, Martha M. Robbins
Dietary overlap of sympatric apes is complex and understudied, but its examination is essential to further our understanding of species distribution, abundance, and community ecology. Over 3 yr we studied food availability and dietary composition of central chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) and western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Loango National Park, Gabon. We predicted that liv...... hiện toàn bộ
Aggression and Reconciliation in Cebus capucinusSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 979-998 - 2002
Jean-Baptiste Leca, Isabelle Fornasieri, Odile Petit
Most data relating to aggressive and conciliatory behaviors are from Old World primates. We recorded agonistic interactions and post-conflict behaviors in a group of 12 white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus). After a conflict, we followed the aggressee as the focal individual during a 10-min postconflict period. We also conducted matched-control observations on the same individual. Conflicts invo...... hiện toàn bộ
Ring-Tailed Lemur Home Ranges Correlate with Food Abundance and Nutritional Content at a Time of Environmental StressSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 969-985 - 2003

In order to determine whether ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) adapt their ranging and select an optimal diet at a time of food shortage, we observed two adjacent troops in Berenty Reserve, Madagascar for over 250 h. The troops, created by a recent fission, ranged through closed canopy gallery forest next to a river and open forest away from the river. We conducted the study in September–October, ...... hiện toàn bộ
