Fruit Availability and Maternal Energy Expenditure Associated With Infant Independence in an Arboreal Primate ( Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii )
A range of ecological and social factors have been shown to affect early‐life behaviour in mammals. Primate infants are altricial and thus unable to move independently at birth. As a result, infants in some species are continuously held or carried (handled) by their mother or another caregiver (allomother). Variation in the amount of time infants move independently can provide insight into the costs and benefits associated with this developmental…
How can we apply decision‐making theories to wild animal behavior? Predictions arising from dual process theory and Bayesian decision theory
Our understanding of decision‐making processes and cognitive biases is ever increasing, thanks to an accumulation of testable models and a large body of research over the last several decades. The vast majority of this work has been done in humans and laboratory animals because these study subjects and situations allow for tightly controlled experiments. However, it raises questions about how this knowledge can be applied to wild animals in their…
High levels of infant handling by adult males in Rwenzori Angolan colobus (Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii) compared to two closely related species, C. guereza and C. vellerosus
Infanticide and partial cannibalism in free-ranging Coquerel’s sifaka (Propithecus coquereli)
Anogenital distance as a measure of male competitive ability in Rwenzori Angolan colobus
Anogenital distance (AGD) is positively correlated to fetal androgen exposure and developmental masculinization in mammals. Independent of overall body size, AGD shows a strong positive correlation with male fertility and in rodents, AGD is a good indicator of male competitive ability and is associated with female choice. We hypothesized that AGD will also predict male competitive ability in non‐human primates. To test this, we measured AGD nonin…
