Developmental transitions in body color in chacma baboon infants
OBJECTIVES: In many primates, one of the most noticeable morphological developmental traits is the transition from natal fur and skin color to adult coloration. Studying the chronology and average age at such color transitions can be an easy and noninvasive method to (a) estimate the age of infants whose dates of birth were not observed, and (b) detect interindividual differences in the pace of development for infants with known birth dates. MATE…
Environment and time as constraints on the biogeographical distribution of gibbons
We develop a time budget model for the hylobatid family with the aim of assessing the extent to which their contemporary and historical biogeographic distributions might be explained by ecological constraints. The model uses local climate to predict time budgets, and from this the limiting size of social group that animals could manage at a given location. The model predicts maximum group sizes that vary between 3 and 15 within the taxon's curren…
Wildlife Depletion in a West African Farm-Forest Mosaic and the Implications for Hunting Across the Landscape
From parasite encounter to infection
Host parasite diversity plays a fundamental role in ecological and evolutionary processes, yet the factors that drive it are still poorly understood. A variety of processes, operating across a range of spatial scales, are likely to influence both the probability of parasite encounter and subsequent infection. Here, we explored eight possible determinants of parasite richness, comprising rainfall and temperature at the population level, ranging be…
The dining etiquette of desert baboons
To better understand how individual relationships influence patterns of social foraging in primate groups, we explored networks of co‐feeding in wild desert baboons ( Papio ursinus ). To minimize the risk of aggression and injury associated with contest competition, we expected that individual group members would choose to co‐feed with those group‐mates that are most likely to show tolerance and a willingness to share food patches. We tested two …

Human Ability to Recognize Kin Visually Within Primates
The assessment of relatedness is a key determinant in the evolution of social behavior in primates. Humans are able to detect kin visually in their own species using facial phenotypes, and facial resemblance in turn influences both prosocial behaviors and mating decisions. This suggests that cognitive abilities that allow facial kin detection in conspecifics have been favored in the species by kin selection. We investigated the extent to which hu…

The Angola black‐and‐white colobus ( Colobus angolensis palliatus ) in Kenya
The Angola black‐and‐white colobus ( Colobus angolensis palliatus ) is a flagship species for Kenya's coastal forests, a global biodiversity hotspot and a region for “priority” conservation investment. This study provides the first evaluation of colobus distribution, status, and current threats within its Kenyan range: the southern coastal District of Kwale. Line transect and sweep count surveys were carried out between July and November of 2001,…
Effects of Forest Fragmentation on the Abundance of Colobus angolensis palliatus in Kenya’s Coastal Forests
The value of bushmeat and other wild foods to rural households living in extreme poverty in Democratic Republic of Congo
Anatomy of a Bushmeat Commodity Chain in Takoradi, Ghana
Bushmeat, the meat of wild animals, is a highly valuable non-timber forest product in West and Central Africa. The trade in this commodity is currently of great interest to development and conservation agencies, due to concern over the sustainability of its use and the implications of its loss for poor rural households. In this study, we describe the bushmeat commodity chain that supplies the city of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana. There are five prim…
