The Value of Measuring Food Availability on the Ground for a Semiterrestrial Frugivore, the Tana River Mangabey (Cercocebus galeritus) of Kenya
Links between habitat degradation, and social group size, ranging, fecundity, and parasite prevalence in the Tana River mangabey ( Cercocebus galeritus )
We investigated the effects of anthropogenic habitat degradation on group size, ranging, fecundity, and parasite dynamics in four groups of the Tana River mangabey ( Cercocebus galeritus ). Two groups occupied a forest disturbed by human activities, while the other two occupied a forest with no human disturbance. We predicted that the groups in the disturbed forest would be smaller, travel longer distances daily, and have larger home ranges due t…
Brief communication
Cercocebus mangabeys are characterized by dental traits that have been interpreted as adaptations to eat hard diet items. Although there are data that mangabeys include a large proportion of fruit and especially seeds in their diets, no hardness measurements have been done on mangabeys' food items. This study measured puncture and crushing resistance of food items in the diet of the Tana River mangabey ( C. galeritus ). Feeding data were collecte…
Shifting forest composition and primate diets
We compared the feeding behavior of a group of Tana River mangabeys ( Cercocebus galeritus ), densities of 25 diet species, and fruit availability of nine species in a 16.25 ha Tana River forest in southeastern Kenya studied in 1988 and in 2000–2001. For both studies, we enumerated all reproductively sized individuals of the 25 diet species and sampled nine of those species monthly for fruit availability. Mangabey feeding data were collected mont…
Comprehensive Conservation Profile of Tana Mangabeys
Examination of increased annual range of a Tana mangabey (Cercocebus galeritus) group
A group of Tana mangabeys (Cercocebus galeritus) has greatly expanded its annual range over three decades: from 17.25 hectares (ha) in 1974 (Homewood [1976] Ph.D. dissertation, University College London) and 18.75 ha in 1988-1989 (Kinnaird [1990a] Ph.D. dissertation, University of Florida) to 46.75 ha in 2000-2001. Utilizing 5-min mapping samples, phenological samples, vegetation data, and statistical and descriptive comparisons with previous dat…
Ecological correlates of abundance in the Tana mangabey ( Cercocebus galeritus )
I investigated the ecological correlates of abundance in the Tana mangabey ( Cercocebus galeritus ), one of the world's most endangered primates, with the goal of recommending management strategies. I systematically selected 31 forest fragments throughout the mangabey's 60‐km distribution along the lower Tana River in southeastern Kenya. Within the 31 fragments, I measured vegetation structure, food abundance, and human forest product use in 107 …
