Potential drivers of samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis) population subdivision in a highly fragmented mountain landscape in northern South Africa
Forests affected by fragmentation are at risk of losing their primate populations over the long term. The impact of fragmentation on primate...
-
Extent of threat detection depends on predator type and behavioral context in wild samango monkey groups
AbstractDetecting predators requires information, and many behavioral and environmental features are predicted to enhance or limit an animal’s...

Seasonal variation in the behavioural ecology of samango monkeys (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi) in a southern latitude montane environment
Samango monkeys ( Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi ) in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa, experience a highly seasonal climate, with...

Wild Samango Monkeys, Cercopithecus mitis, Balance Risk and Opportunity to Interact with Novel Objects in Village Gardens
Research suggests that wild animals in urban areas exhibit heightened behavioral flexibility when they encounter novel human-made objects, but most...

Monkey business: A girl’s once strange dream
For close to 50 years, my research has focused on social relationships and social structure, particularly in macaques, and has been marked by a...

Mammalian assemblages in Southern Mistbelt Forests of the northern Eastern Cape, and southern KwaZulu-Natal Provinces, South Africa, and their response to bordering land-use
Anthropogenic activities have resulted in habitat loss and fragmentation across different landscapes. Anthropogenic land-uses adjacent to forest...

Observer effects in a remote population of large-headed capuchins, Sapajus macrocephalus
Human observers often are present when researchers record animal behavior, which can create observer effects. These effects are rarely explicitly...

A systematic review of sex differences in rough and tumble play across non-human mammals
AbstractIt is widely believed that juvenile male mammals typically engage in higher rates of rough and tumble play (RTP) than do females, in...

Genetic assessment of an isolated endemic Samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis labiatus) population in the Amathole Mountains, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
The endemic Samango monkey subspecies ( Cercopithecus albogularis labiatus ) inhabits small discontinuous Afromontane forest patches in the Eastern...

Functionality of two canopy bridge designs: successful trials for the endangered black lion tamarin and other arboreal species
Canopy bridges are crossing structures specific to mitigate the impact of roads on arboreal animals. Long-term monitoring of such infrastructures...

Environmental Effects on Nocturnal Encounters of Two Sympatric Bushbabies, Galago moholi and Otolemur crassicaudatus, in a High-Altitude South African Northern Mistbelt Montane Habitat
Temperate living primates cope with a variety of environmental stressors, which may vary by body mass. We studied two sympatric galagos, the...

Looking Ahead: Predicting the Possible Ecological and Physiological Response of Galago Moholi to Environmental Change
Large scale changes to the natural environment, due to both climate change and direct human activities (e.g., urbanization), pose a great risk to...

For emergency only: terrestrial feeding in Coimbra-Filho’s titis reflects seasonal arboreal resource availability
Terrestriality in Platyrrhine primates is primarily associated with low arboreal resource availability, low predation risk when on the ground and...

No Planet for Apes? Assessing Global Priority Areas and Species Affected by Linear Infrastructures
Approximately 65% of primate species are facing extinction, with threats including the impacts of linear infrastructures such as roads, railways, and...

Reliance on Exotic Plants by Two Groups of Threatened Samango Monkeys, Cercopithecus albogularis labiatus, at Their Southern Range Limit
Understanding how threatened species adapt their behavior to landscapes shaped by humans is increasingly important to ensuring they persist in a...

Predicting the invasion of a southern African savannah by the black wattle (Acacia mearnsii)
Understanding the drivers of biological invasions in landscapes is a major goal in invasion ecology. The control of biological invasions has...

Samango Monkeys (Cercopithecus albogularis labiatus) Manage Risk in a Highly Seasonal, Human-Modified Landscape in Amathole Mountains, South Africa
Wild species use habitats that vary in risk across space and time. This risk can derive from natural predators and also from direct and indirect...

Genetic Analysis of Migration Pattern of Female Bonobos (Pan paniscus) Among Three Neighboring Groups
Relationships between females of different groups in female philopatric species are typically antagonistic, whereas those in female dispersing...

Risk-Taking in Samango Monkeys in Relation to Humans at Two Sites in South Africa
A fundamental step in the management and conservation of wild species is advancing our understanding of how animals perceive and use their habitat....
