Aspects of Male Competition in Colobus vellerosus
Predicting the Competitive Regime of Female Colobus vellerosus from the Distribution of Food Resources
Scramble Competition Among Colobus vellerosus at Boabeng-Fiema, Ghana
Temporal dynamics of nutrition, parasitism, and stress in colobus monkeys
The need to develop conservation plans calls for the ability to identify ecological factors that influence population density. Because stress is known to affect fecundity and mortality, increasing stress may provide a warning of potential population declines. We examined the effects of temporal variation in nutrition and parasitism on stress in endangered red colobus monkeys in Kibale National Park, Uganda. First, we tested the hypothesis that pa…
Controversy over the application of current socioecological models to folivorous primates
We explore the applicability of the current socio‐ecological model to characterize the social structure of Colobus vellerosus , a folivorous primate. The current socio‐ecological model predicts that female social relationships should respond in predictable ways to food abundance and distribution and associated competitive regimes. It appears to successfully explain variation in social structure in some primate species; however, recent research in…
Comparison of habitat quality and diet of Colobus vellerosus in forest fragments in Ghana
Do food availability, parasitism, and stress have synergistic effects on red colobus populations living in forest fragments
Identifying factors that influence animal density is a fundamental goal in ecology that has taken on new importance with the need to develop informed management plans. This is particularly the case for primates as the tropical forest that supports many species is being rapidly converted. We use a system of forest fragments adjacent to Kibale National Park, Uganda, to examine if food availability and parasite infections have synergistic affects on…
Traditional taboos in biological conservation
Englilish The Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary in central Ghana has been called a classic example of successful ''traditional'' conservation. Local hunting taboos on two species of primates (the ursine black and white colobus and the Campbell's monkey) are thought to date back to the 1830s when a local oracle instructed the villagers to ''care for the monkeys''. However, the same level of protection is not given to the surrounding forest or other a…
Male takeover in Colobus vellerosus at Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, central Ghana
Effect of Group Size on Activity Budgets of Colobus vellerosus in Ghana
Influence of Human Food Consumption on the Time Budget of Vervets
Influence of Human Food Consumption on the Time Budget of Vervets
