Evolutionary history of the endangered Sanje mangabey (Cercocebus sanjei) in the Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania: Inferences from phylogeography and historical niche modelling
Understanding whether a species’ distribution results from recent and/or anthropogenic events or ancient vicariant factors is critical for conservation planning. The Endangered Sanje mangabey ( Cercocebus sanjei ), endemic to Tanzania’s Udzungwa Mountains, is currently divided into two populations located approximately 100 km apart. These represent distinct evolutionary lineages that diverged around 0.77 million years ago (MYA). We aimed to inves…
On the Phylogenetic History of the Sanje Mangabey (Cercocebus sanjei), Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania
An accurate understanding of phylogeny, including intraspecific diversity, is key for defining conservation measures. The Sanje mangabey ( Cercocebus sanjei ) is an Endangered primate endemic to the Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania that inhabits montane forest fragments and occurs in two populations—Mwanihana Forest and Uzungwa Scarp Nature Reserve—located 100 km apart. The phylogenetic position of the Sanje mangabey relative to other Cercocebus sp…
Improving Information on Over-looked Generalists: Occurrence and Mitochondrial DNA Diversity of Campbell’s (Cercopithecus campbelli) and Green Monkeys (Chlorocebus sabaeus) in Guinea–Bissau, West Afri…
Non-threatened primates are often overlooked in conservation efforts despite their increasing vulnerability to local extirpation. Campbell’s ( Cercopithecus campbelli ) and green monkeys ( Chlorocebus sabaeus ) are sympatric medium-sized West African guenons (tribe Cercopithecini) whose intraspecific genetic diversity remains understudied in most of their distribution. Both species are ecological generalists and are globally considered non-threat…
Sex-mediated Gene Flow in Grayfoot Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus griseipes) in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique
Dispersal behavior influences gene flow and the spatial distribution of genetic diversity, which is crucial for a species' evolutionary trajectory and population persistence under environmental changes. We used gene flow as a proxy to investigate dispersal patterns in the grayfoot chacma baboon ( Papio ursinus griseipes ) in Gorongosa National Park (GNP), central Mozambique. The baboons inhabit a mosaic landscape with a seasonally variable enviro…
Predisposing factors for panic disorder in college students
The health of university students is the result of a relationship between teaching, socialization, economic factors and intrinsic factors to the individual. Social determinants of health influence their health status, therefore, panic disorder in university students is increasingly becoming a public health problem due to the fact that it is considered a prevalent comorbidity in society that affects the quality of life of people and overloads the …
Notes on the conservation threats to the western lesser spot-nosed monkey (Cercopithecus petaurista buettikoferi) in the Bijagós Archipelago (Guinea-Bissau, West Africa)
The lesser spot-nosed monkey ( Cercopithecus petaurista ) is a widely distributed West African guenon, which is generally considered less vulnerable to local extinctions than many sympatric primate species. Guinea-Bissau harbours the westernmost populations of the species, which is thought to be very rare or even extinct on the mainland, but to have putative populations on some islands of the Bijagós Archipelago. However, due to a lack of regiona…
The importance of well protected forests for the conservation genetics of West African colobine monkeys
In tropical forests, anthropogenic activities are major drivers of the destruction and degradation of natural habitats, causing severe biodiversity loss. African colobine monkeys (Colobinae) are mainly folivore and strictly arboreal primates that require large forests to subsist, being among the most vulnerable of all nonhuman primates. The Western red colobus Piliocolobus badius and the King colobus Colobus polykomos inhabit highly fragmented We…
Chasing a ghost: Notes on the present distribution and conservation of the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys) in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa
The West-African sooty mangabey ( Cercocebus atys ) is threatened by habitat loss, hunting for meat consumption, and mortality during crop-foraging events. The species’ overall demographic trend is unknown. Presence and distribution in Guinea-Bissau, a country neighbored by Senegal and Republic of Guinea, was confirmed in 1946 but the species was declared extinct in 1989 and not observed in subsequent countrywide expeditions. Narratives of its pr…
A missing piece of the Papio puzzle: Gorongosa baboon phenostructure and intrageneric relationships
The Influence of Social Systems on Patterns of Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Baboons
Behavior is influenced by genes but can also shape the genetic structure of natural populations. Investigating this link is of great importance because behavioral processes can alter the genetic diversity on which selection acts. Gene flow is one of the main determinants of the genetic structure of a population and dispersal is the behavior that mediates gene flow. Baboons (genus Papio ) are among the most intensely studied primate species and se…
Genetic evidence for spatio‐temporal changes in the dispersal patterns of two sympatric African colobine monkeys
Western black‐and‐white colobus and Temmink's red colobus are two forest‐dependent African primates with similar ecological requirements, often found in sympatry. Their most striking difference lies in their social system: black‐and‐white colobus live in small groups with mainly male‐mediated dispersal but where females can also disperse, whereas red colobus live in larger groups with males described as philopatric. To investigate whether genetic…
