  • Body Measurements for the Monkeys of Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea
    Primate Conservation 2009 (24): 99–105 Body Measurements for the Monkeys of Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea Thomas M. Butynski¹,², Yvonne A. de Jong² and Gail W. Hearn¹ ¹Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA ²Eastern Africa Primate Diversity and Conservation Program, Nanyuki, Kenya Abstract: Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, has a rich (eight genera, 11 species), unique (seven endemic subspecies), and threat- ened (five species) primate fauna, but the taxonomic status of most forms is not clear. This uncertainty is a serious problem for the setting of priorities for the conservation of Bioko’s (and the region’s) primates. Some of the questions related to the taxonomic status of Bioko’s primates can be resolved through the statistical comparison of data on their body measurements with those of their counterparts on the African mainland. Data for such comparisons are, however, lacking. This note presents the first large set of body measurement data for each of the seven species of monkeys endemic to Bioko; means, ranges, standard deviations and sample sizes for seven body measurements. These 49 data sets derive from 544 fresh adult specimens (235 adult males and 309 adult females) collected by shotgun hunters for sale in the bushmeat market in Malabo. Key Words: Bioko Island, body measurements, conservation, monkeys, morphology, taxonomy Introduction gordonorum), and surprisingly few such data exist even for some of the more widespread species (for example, Allen’s Comparing external body measurements for adult indi- swamp monkey Allenopithecus nigroviridis, northern tala- viduals from different sites has long been used as a tool for poin monkey Miopithecus ogouensis, and grivet Chlorocebus describing populations, subspecies, and species of animals aethiops).

Twenty‐eight surveys were conducted throughout the two forests where Sanje mangabeys are found: Mwanihana forest in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park (n = 13), and the Uzungwa Scarp Nature Reserve (n = 15). Group density was found to be significantly lower in the relatively unprotected Uzungwa Scarp forest (0.15 groups/km2; 95% CI: 0.08–0.27) compared to the well‐protected Mwanihana forest (0.29 groups/km2; 95% CI: 0.19–0.43; p = .03).

  • Sanje Mangabey Project Human-Wildlife Co-Existence (Established in 2006) to Aid in the Conservation of One of the Least Studied of the Cercocebus Mangabeys
    CONSERVATION INITIATIVES Long-term population monitoring Systematic data collection on a SANJE habituated group in UMNP since 2006 MANGABEY Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania There are seven recognised species of Cercocebus mangabey Conservation genetics monkeys, all are threatened with a high risk of extinction according Population genetics to determine to their IUCN Red List status, and all are relatively understudied. inbreeding depression and gene flow between sub populations They are found across Africa, from the sooty mangabey in the west (Ivory Coast) to the Tana River mangabey in the east (Kenya). Also known as ‘white-eyelid’ mangabeys for their distinctive white-eyelids which they flash in threat displays; they are highly terrestrial, spending a large amount of time on the forest floor rather than up in the trees like the majority of primates. Part of the reason they are so little-known is that they are usually found deep in the forest, in regions that are difficult to access and not often visited by tourists or researchers. The Bristol Zoological Society has partnered with the Sanje Mangabey Project Human-wildlife co-existence (established in 2006) to aid in the conservation of one of the least studied of the Cercocebus mangabeys. The Sanje mangabey (Cercocebus sanjei) is endemic to the Working with neighbouring Udzungwa Mountains of south-central Tanzania; also known as the Galapagos communities to understand issues of Africa, for their high level of endemism in such a small area. The mangabeys related to co-existence with wildlife are listed as Endangered due to declining population size, habitat loss and forest fragmentation.

  • 1 Old World Monkeys
    2003. 5. 23 Dr. Toshio MOURI Old World monkey Although Old World monkey, as a word, corresponds to New World monkey, its taxonomic rank is much lower than that of the New World Monkey. Therefore, it is speculated that the last common ancestor of Old World monkeys is newer compared to that of New World monkeys. While New World monkey is the vernacular name for infraorder Platyrrhini, Old World Monkey is the vernacular name for superfamily Cercopithecoidea (family Cercopithecidae is limited to living species). As a side note, the taxon including Old World Monkey at the same taxonomic level as New World Monkey is infraorder Catarrhini. Catarrhini includes Hominoidea (humans and apes), as well as Cercopithecoidea. Cercopithecoidea comprises the families Victoriapithecidae and Cercopithecidae. Victoriapithecidae is fossil primates from the early to middle Miocene (15-20 Ma; Ma = megannum = 1 million years ago), with known genera Prohylobates and Victoriapithecus. The characteristic that defines the Old World Monkey (as synapomorphy – a derived character shared by two or more groups – defines a monophyletic taxon), is the bilophodonty of the molars, but the development of biphilophodonty in Victoriapithecidae is still imperfect, and crista obliqua is observed in many maxillary molars (as well as primary molars). (Benefit, 1999; Fleagle, 1999) Recently, there is an opinion that Prohylobates should be combined with Victoriapithecus. Living Old World Monkeys are all classified in the family Cercopithecidae. Cercopithecidae comprises the subfamilies Cercopithecinae and Colobinae. Cercopithecinae has a buccal pouch, and Colobinae has a complex, or sacculated, stomach. It is thought that the buccal pouch is an adaptation for quickly putting rare food like fruit into the mouth, and the complex stomach is an adaptation for eating leaves.
