Field Anesthesia and Health Assessment of Free-ranging Cebus capucinus in Panama
Health and disease are critical factors for understanding primate evolution and for developing effective conservation and management strategies. However, comprehensive health assessments of wild primate populations are rare, in part because of the difficulty and risk of chemically immobilizing subjects to obtain the necessary biological samples. We report here the results of a health assessment, as well as the methods and drug dosages used to cap…
Dispersal among male ring‐tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta ) on St. Catherines Island
Male dispersal patterns were analyzed across a nine‐year period in a population of ring‐tailed lemurs ( Lemur catta ) on St. Catherines Island (SCI), USA, to evaluate two ultimate explanations for male dispersal: inbreeding avoidance and intrasexual mating competition. As part of this analysis, we also compared patterns of dispersal at this site with data from wild populations. Overall, we found that patterns of male intertroop movement on SCI ar…
Preliminary analysis of drinking from seawater sources by free‐ranging rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
Rhesus macaques on Key Lois Island were observed drinking seawater that flowed into four holes they had excavated in the sand. Data were gathered to determine the salinity (TDS) and pH levels of the water and which animals were using the holes. Average TDS level (4,506.8 ± 1,750.8), but not pH (8.1 ± .30) level, of water from the holes differed from the surrounding seawater (TDS = 29,000, pH = 8.0). There were significant variations in TDS and pH…
