Population Status, Threats, and Conservation of Preuss’s Red Colobus (Piliocolobus preussi) and Other Diurnal Primates in the Ndokbou-Makombe Forests, Cameroon
Primate populations worldwide are experiencing rapid declines due to habitat loss, degradation, and overexploitation. These pressures are particularly severe across sub-Saharan Africa and the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot, which supports several threatened and endemic species. The Ebo-Makombe-Ndokbou forests in southwestern Cameroon contain critical habitat for several of these species, including the Critically Endangered Preuss’s red colob…
News selection and framing
The media widely covers large carnivores and their impacts on human livelihood and plays an important role in their conservation. Yet, we know little about how species identity affects news selection, framing, accuracy and information flow. We investigated the online coverage of two cases of attacks or alleged attacks on humans alternatingly attributed to wolves and dogs in Greece and Germany. The period during which wolves were considered the pr…
Population Status of the Critically Endangered Preuss’s Red Colobus Monkey (Piliocolobus preussi Matschie 1900) and Recommendations for Its Conservation
The Distribution, Status, and Conservation Outlook of the Drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus) in Cameroon
Associations between the drill ( Mandrillus leucophaeus ) and sympatric monkeys in Korup National Park, Cameroon
Studies of polyspecific associations among African forest primates have primarily focused on arboreal Cercopithecus and Procolobus/Colobus species. We examined the association frequency of the terrestrial drill ( Mandrillus leucophaeus ) with six sympatric monkey species in Korup National Park, Cameroon, testing reports that Mandrillus associations are infrequent and transient. We conducted 3,284 km of trail walks for 12 months (February–June 200…
Note on drill ( Mandrillus leucophaeus ) ecology and conservation status in Korup National Park, Southwest Cameroon
We report preliminary findings on drill population ecology, feeding ecology, primate associations and conservation status in Korup National Park, Cameroon, based on analysis of data collected during 1,346 km (620 field hours) of trail patrols from February to June 2006. We encountered drills on 25 occasions and collected 304 fecal samples. Group size was estimated on four occasions (≥25, ≥40, ≥67, ≥77), and multiple males were heard emitting the …
