A Systematic Review and Quantitative Analysis of Socioecological Variability in Diademed Sifaka ( Propithecus diadema ) and Black‐and‐White Ruffed Lemurs ( Varecia variegata ) in Madagascar
Madagascar's endangered, endemic primates represent 21% of global primate species. Among them, the Critically Endangered diademed sifaka ( Propithecus diadema ) and black‐and‐white ruffed lemur ( Varecia variegata ) have overlapping ranges and are considered umbrella and flagship species. This review synthesizes the available research for both species to assess research gaps and ecological variability across their distributions amid ongoing conse…
Behavioural and spatial flexibility in mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in response to intergroup encounters
Intergroup encounters are a powerful selective force shaping behaviour. Primates can adjust ranging, activity, and affiliation patterns to mitigate the costs associated with intergroup conflict or enhance intragroup cohesion to facilitate collective action. However, empirical evidence for these adaptive responses remains equivocal. We investigated how intergroup encounters influence the behaviour of mountain gorillas ( Gorilla beringei beringei )…

Effective public health messaging for university students
Variation in compliance with recommended safety behaviors early in the COVID-19 pandemic was especially concerning in places where people aggregated after traveling from a range of geographical areas, such as many universities. Understanding variation in these behaviors is important for continuing to address the COVID-19 pandemic and planning for future disease outbreaks. We examined the relationship between safety behaviors, risk perception, COV…
Male-philopatric nonhuman primates and their potential role in understanding the evolution of human sociality
In most primate species, males transfer out of their natal groups, resulting in groups of unrelated males. However, in a few species, including humans, males remain in their groups and form life-long associations with each other. This pattern of male philopatry is linked with cooperative male behaviors, including border patrols and predator defense. Because females in male-philopatric species form weaker kin networks with each other than in femal…
Differences in sperm morphology between Alouatta palliata and Alouatta pigra are consistent with the intensity of sperm competition in each species
The intensity of sperm competition, in which sperm compete within the female reproductive tract to reach and fertilize her eggs, varies in species with different mating systems. Sperm competition is more intense in species where males cannot monopolize access to reproductive females and females mate with multiple males. In this scenario, a morphological change that increases the ability of sperm to reach and fertilize eggs should rapidly spread i…
Impacts of a participatory action project
Human-wildlife interactions include wild animals foraging on agricultural crops, often called crop raiding. Crop raiding can result in disease transmission, poor nutrition, stress, and loss of income. Crop raiding also affects conservation because retaliatory events can result in wildlife being harmed. Around Kibale National Park, Uganda, a community action project implemented mitigation strategies that reduced crop raiding. We surveyed 95 of 106…
Demography and life history of a group of white‐bellied spider monkeys ( Ateles belzebuth ) in western Amazonia
Species-specific demographic parameters and life history variables are important for understanding how individual primate taxa have adapted to evolutionary and ecological pressures and for conducting interspecific comparisons as well as for conducting population viability analyses and for managing captive populations. Here, we describe results from a 12+ year study of the demographic dynamics of a wild group of white-bellied spider monkeys (Atele…

Female red colobus monkeys maintain their densities through flexible feeding strategies in logged forests in Kibale National Park, Uganda
Behavioral flexibility allows primates to cope with environmental variability. Quantifying primate responses to human habitat modifications allows an effective means of assessing coping mechanisms. Within Kibale National Park, Uganda, logging led to reduced primate food availability that still exists almost 50 years after the harvest. Following the predictions of the ideal free distribution theory, primate densities are expected to decrease in ar…
Sexual conflict in primates
Sexual conflict is increasingly recognized as a major force for evolutionary change and holds great potential for delineating variation in primate behavior and morphology. The goals of this review are to highlight the rapidly rising field of sexual conflict and the ongoing shift in our understanding of interactions between the sexes. We discuss the evidence for sexual conflict within the Order Primates, and assess how studies of primates have ill…
