    Associations Between Nutrition, Gut Microbial Communities, and Health in Nonhuman Primates A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jonathan Brent Clayton IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Drs. Timothy J. Johnson and Michael P. Murtaugh December 2015 © Jonathan Brent Clayton 2015 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisors, Drs. Timothy Johnson and Michael Murtaugh, for believing in my abilities from day one, and helping me to design a thesis project based on my research interests and passion for nonhuman primate health. I would like to thank my aforementioned advisors and remaining committee members, Drs. Ken Glander, Herbert Covert and Dominic Travis for their daily guidance, unwavering support, and embarking on this journey with me. I would also like to thank Dr. Mark Rutherford, Lisa Hubinger, and Kate Barry for taking care of administrative matters. I am thankful for the incredible group of colleagues in the Johnson lab for their support, helpfulness, and friendship; Jessica Danzeisen, Kyle Case, Dr. Bonnie Youmans, Dr. Elicia Grace, and Dr. Kevin Lang. I am also thankful to the members of the Knights lab, Pajau Vangay and Tonya Ward for their help with data analysis and copious constructive feedback. I would like to thank Dr. Steve Ross and the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes staff for training me on behavioral data collection methodology, which was a critical step in preparation for data collection in Vietnam. I am also thankful to Francis Cabana for helping to analyze the feeding ecology and nutritional analysis data.

Cercocebus albigena, Cercopithecus mitis and Cercopithecus mona are strictly arboreal whereas Cercocebus torquatus, Cercocebus galeritus and Cercopithecus aethiops are more frequently utilize terrestrial substrates. Morphological differences, which presumably reflect different positional behaviors, were found within both Cercocebus and Cercopithecus genera. The arboreal Cercocebus albigena differs from the more terrestrial Cercocebus torquatus and Cercocebus galeritus in having more mobile joints and more gracile bones. In Cercocebus torquatus and Cercocebus galeritus, joint movements tends to be restricted to the parasagittal plane emphasizing the economy of parasagittal excursion of the limbs. Similar tendencies were observed between the arboreal Cercopithecus mitis and Cercopithecus mona and the semi-terrestrial Cercopithecus aethiops. However, the morphological distinctions, associated to arboreality vs. terrestriality, are not identical between Cercocebus and Cercopithecus. Semi-terrestrial mangabeys exhibit stronger adaptations for terrestriality by comparison with the semi-terrestrial guenon.

  • Confirmation of the Presence of the Red-Capped Mangabey (Cercocebus Torquatus) in Mayumba National Park, Southern Gabon, And
    Primate Conservation 2007 (22): 111–115 Confirmation of the Presence of the Red-capped Mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus) in Mayumba National Park, Southern Gabon, and Conkouati-Douli National Park, Southern Republic of Congo Fiona Maisels¹, Quevain Pambou Makaya² and Jean-Robert Onononga³ ¹Wildlife Conservation Society, Bronx, New York, USA ²Wildlife Conservation Society, Gabon, Libreville ³Wildlife Conservation Society, Brazzaville, Congo Abstract: Surveys were carried out in Gabon in Mayumba National Park in 2006 and in the Conkouati-Douli National Park in the Republic of Congo in 1996 and 2000. Red-capped mangabeys, Cercocebus torquatus, (also known as white-collared mangabeys) were recorded in both parks in areas about 30 km distant from hunting pressure. The distribution of this species is known to extend from west of the Niger River to just south of the Ogooué River in Gabon, but its presence in Southern Congo, while suspected in 1949, had never been confirmed. These observations extend the confirmed published range by about 250 km south, and into the Republic of Congo. The published distribution is probably much too uniform, as the species now appears to be absent in areas with even low to medium hunting pressure. We call for resurveys of the sites where it has been previously recorded in the past to confirm continued presence and to clarify its conservation status. We also call for surveys along the coastal forests outside protected areas, especially within Gabon, to identify remaining populations.
