Behavioral adjustments of endangered Barbary macaques ( Macaca sylvanus ) living at the edge of an agricultural landscape in Morocco
Transition zones between natural and human‐altered spaces are eroding in most terrestrial ecosystems. The persistence of animals in shared landscapes depends in part on their behavioral flexibility, which may involve being able to exploit human agricultural production. As a forest‐dependent species, the Barbary macaque ( Macaca sylvanus ) is affected by the progressive conversion of forest‐adjacent lands into crops. We explore how Barbary macaque…
Using demographic characteristics of populations to detect spatial fragmentation following suspected ebola outbreaks in great apes
OBJECTIVES: Demographic crashes due to emerging diseases can contribute to population fragmentation and increase extinction risk of small populations. Ebola outbreaks in 2002-2004 are suspected to have caused a decline of more than 80% in some Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) populations. We investigated whether demographic indicators of this event allowed for the detection of spatial fragmentation in gorilla populations. MATERIA…
Effect of habitat quality on diet flexibility in Barbary macaques
Barbary macaques live in extreme temperate environments characterized by strongly seasonal resource availability. They are mainly terrestrial while foraging, harvesting food from the herbaceous layer. These monkeys are threatened mainly because of anthropogenic habitat degradation. We studied the adaptive capacities of wild groups of Barbary macaques that lived in different cedar forests undergoing varying extents of grazing pressure from domesti…

Influence of male morphology on male mating status and behavior during interunit encounters in western lowland gorillas
The western lowland gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) is one of the most sexually dimorphic primate species. Mature males are twice the size of females and have grey fur on their backs and a fibrous, adipose crest on their heads. Such traits are likely to have evolved by sexual selection, either because they confer advantages during male–male fights or because females prefer males with more dimorphic traits. We developed photogrammetric methods…
Yaws disease in a wild gorilla population and its impact on the reproductive status of males
We evaluated the prevalence of skin lesions in a gorilla population in the Republic of Congo. The observed lesions were typical of yaws, a treponematosis described in gorillas and humans living in tropical regions. Among the 377 gorillas identified, 17% presented skin lesions, mainly on their faces. The worst cases presented physical handicaps because of the deep lesions. As in humans, lesions break out when individuals are young. Lesions were mo…
Living in nonbreeding groups
The one‐male reproductive strategy implies that maturing males are temporarily excluded from reproduction. In gorillas, these excluded males live either solitarily or in nonbreeding groups (NBGs) that are devoid of adult females. The dynamics of NBGs are not well known. In this study, which was conducted on a gorilla population ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) of 377 individuals that visited the Lokoué clearing in the Republic of Congo, we detail how …
Population and group structure of western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) at Lokoué, Republic of Congo
During a 17‐month study at the Lokoué clearing in Odzala National Park, Republic of Congo, we identified 377 western lowland gorillas. This population included 31 solitary males, 37 breeding groups, and eight nonbreeding groups. Its age‐ and sex‐class structure was similar to those observed at two other clearings in the same forest block. However, the size of breeding groups varied with site (either clearing or forest sites). At Lokoué, breeding …

Testing the reliability of noninvasive genetic sampling by comparing analyses of blood and fecal samples in Barbary macaques ( Macaca sylvanus )
Genetic studies of wild animal populations are often hindered by difficulties in obtaining blood samples. Recent advances in molecular biology have allowed the use of noninvasive samples as sources of DNA (e.g., hair or feces), but such samples may provide low‐quality DNA and prevent the determination of true genotypes in subsequent DNA analysis. We present a preliminary study aimed at assessing the reliability of using fecal samples for genotypi…
Behavioral responses of Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) to variations in environmental conditions in Algeria
Behavioral responses of Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) to variations in environmental conditions in Algeria
In this study, the behavioral responses of Barbary macaques to seasonal and interhabitat variations in resource availability were analyzed over an entire annual cycle. Two groups, one in an evergreen cedar-oak forest (Djurdjura) and the other in a deciduous oak forest (Akfadou), were observed. In this paper, references to data on resource availability published elsewhere are made. Time budget has been studied. Variations in foraging and moving ti…

Population dynamics of Macaca sylvanus in Algeria
The demography and dynamics of two groups, one living in an evergreen cedar‐oak forest (Tigounatine) and the other, in a deciduous oak forest (Akfadou) in Algeria, were studied from 1982 to 1990. Group size fell within the range of other wild groups except for the Tigounatine group when it reached 88 individuals before splitting into three new independent groups. The structure of the studied groups, except one which was temporarily “one male,” wa…
