Unimaginably missed. ii Acknowledgements The completion of this project was made possible from funding and support provided by the James Madison University W. Dean Cocking Scholarship, Primate Conservation Inc., and the Global Wildlife Conservation Primate Action Fund. I am also incredibly grateful to the government of Cameroon and the Cameroon Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation for permission to conduct research in Cameroon. There are many people that I would like thank for the success and completion of this project and for supporting me throughout my graduate school career. I would like to thank my co- advisors, Joshua Linder and Roshna Wunderlich, for the unwavering support and mentorship throughout my graduate career. My development and success as a researcher is almost entirely attributed to their guidance, support, and trust in my abilities from grant writing to surviving in the West African rain forest. There is no way to sufficiently acknowledge what their mentorship for the past two years has meant to my professional and personal growth. I would also like to thank Dana Moseley on my thesis committee for giving constant thoughtful advice and input on all aspects of this project, along with teaching me many important aspects of acoustic monitoring. Her feedback was integral in the completion of a well-thought- out, meaningful thesis project. Many thanks to the faculty, administrators, and fellow graduate students in the biology department for constantly giving advice and support for the past two years. The success in this project and my graduate career would not have been possible without their support. I have immense gratitude for the Ebo Forest Research Project, specifically Ekwoge Abwe and Bethan Morgan. There is no way I could have conducted this project without their willingness to bring this project onboard. Ekwoge provided indispensable in-country support from project logistics to proper medical care whenever it was needed. Bethan provided constant and readily available advice and support during all aspects of this project. iii I would also like to thank Peter Wrege for teaching me almost everything I know about passive acoustic monitoring. From sensor deployment to sound data analyses required for this project, my success in implementing passive acoustic monitoring would not have been possible without his willingness to teach and support me. I give great thanks to Carolyn Jost Robinson for giving me advice and encouragement on project management, Christos Astaras for GIS data, acoustic monitoring data and support, and advice on methods, and Richard Lawler for statistical advice and support. I would also like to thank Ekole Nelson Betobe and Arong Cletus Mosongo for their help and guidance with acoustic sensor deployment, giving me the tools I needed to manage myself and others in the forest, and constant encouragement throughout the entire duration of my time in Cameroon. I also greatly appreciate Nelson’s continued primate vocalization identification assistance. Numerous thanks to Chief Paul Diwo of Ndokmen Nord for not only allowing me to conduct research in his community but going above and beyond by housing me and constantly giving genuine support in my health and ability to successfully complete this project. A very special thanks to my field guide and close friend, Aaron Parfait for constantly believing in my abilities to survive the Ndokbou forest in the midst of every season, cliff ledge, and unexpected rainforest circumstance. He is one of the strongest people I know and his friendship and support kept me sane in the most difficult of times throughout this project. A big thanks to Esperance Atemkeng for agreeing to be a part of this project with a willingness to learn while also giving me immense support while in the field. Especially when it came to teaching me some integral French vocabulary. I would also like to acknowledge and thank all of the people from the villages of Ndokmen Nord and Yingui for welcoming me into their communities, providing me with field support, and continually agreeing to trek through the mountains of Mt. Sinai with me. iv Lastly, I would like to thank my family for their constant support in my international jungle endeavors and for providing me endless encouragement, love, and trust in my success in all that I choose to explore. v Table of Contents Dedication ........................................................................................................................................ ii Acknowledgements......................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ vi List of Tables .................................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures ................................................................................................................................ xii Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... xv Chapter 1: Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Threats to Biodiversity in African Tropical Rainforests .................................................... 1 1.2 Gulf of Guinea Forests ....................................................................................................... 2 1.2.1 Location and biodiversity ............................................................................. 2 1.2.2 Hunting and the bushmeat trade .................................................................. 5 1.2.3 Protected areas ............................................................................................. 6 1.3 Passive Acoustic Monitoring .............................................................................................. 7 1.4 Red Colobus Monkeys........................................................................................................ 8 1.4.1 Taxonomy & ecology .................................................................................... 8 1.4.2 Threats to red colobus monkeys and their conservation status .................... 9 1.5 Preuss’s Red Colobus ....................................................................................................... 12 1.5.1 Taxonomy ................................................................................................... 12 1.5.2 Ecology ....................................................................................................... 12 1.5.3 Geographic range ....................................................................................... 14 1.5.4 Preuss’s red colobus in the Ebo-Makombe-Ndokbou forest ...................... 16 1.5.5 Protection status ......................................................................................... 16 1.6 Research Questions and Objectives .................................................................................. 18 1.7 Description of Study Region ............................................................................................ 22 1.7.1 Location and topography ........................................................................... 22 1.7.2 Climate ....................................................................................................... 26 1.7.3 Vegetation ................................................................................................... 27 1.7.4 Human populations and activities .............................................................

  • Targets, Tactics, and Cooperation in the Play Fighting of Two Genera of Old World Monkeys (Mandrillus and Papio): Accounting for Similarities and Differences
    2019, 32 Heather M. Hill Editor Peer-reviewed Targets, Tactics, and Cooperation in the Play Fighting of Two Genera of Old World Monkeys (Mandrillus and Papio): Accounting for Similarities and Differences Kelly L. Kraus1, Vivien C. Pellis1, and Sergio M. Pellis1 1 Department of Neuroscience, University of Lethbridge, Canada Play fighting in many species involves partners competing to bite one another while avoiding being bitten. Species can differ in the body targets that are bitten and the tactics used to attack and defend those targets. However, even closely related species that attack and defend the same body target using the same tactics can differ markedly in how much the competitiveness of such interactions is mitigated by cooperation. A degree of cooperation is necessary to ensure that some turn-taking between the roles of attacker and defender occurs, as this is critical in preventing play fighting from escalating into serious fighting. In the present study, the dyadic play fighting of captive troops of 4 closely related species of Old World monkeys, 2 each from 2 genera of Papio and Mandrillus, was analyzed. All 4 species have a comparable social organization, are large bodied with considerable sexual dimorphism, and are mostly terrestrial. In all species, the target of biting is the same – the area encompassing the upper arm, shoulder, and side of the neck – and they have the same tactics of attack and defense. However, the Papio species exhibit more cooperation in their play than do the Mandrillus species, with the former using tactics that make biting easier to attain and that facilitate close bodily contact.

And the good news is that it is available for purchase at our Buy an Acre price of £100 per acre. The Jungle for Jaguars appeal in late 2018 was an incredible success. World Land Trust (WLT) supporters raised £600,000 for the purchase and protection of 8,154 acres in a vital wildlife corridor. This land has now been purchased by our partner the Corozal Sustainable Future Initiative (CSFI), who manage several of the protected areas in this corridor. The additional 1,818 acres would ensure safe passage for Jaguars on the eastern side of Shipstern Lagoon. Within this parcel of land live the Fireburn Community who have 187 acres of community lands. CSFI will be building trust and 1,818 acres for purchase engagement with them as well as helping Shipstern Lagoon to develop sustainable livelihoods.

  • 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).

R. B. LEAKEY{ and Z. TCHOUNDJEU{ {Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Bush Estate, Penicuik, Midlothian, EH26 0QB, Scotland, UK and {International Centre for Research in Agroforestry, PO Box 2067, YaoundeÂ, Cameroon (Accepted 19 January 2001) SUMMARY New initiatives in agroforestry are seeking to integrate indigenous trees, whose products have traditionally been gathered from natural forests, into tropical farming systems such as cacao farms. This is being done to provide from farms, marketable timber and non-timber forest products that will enhance rural livelihoods by generating cash for resource-poor rural and peri-urban households. There are many potential candidate species for domestication that have commercial potential in local, regional or even international markets. Little or no formal research has been carried out on many of these hitherto wild species to assess potential for genetic improvement, reproductive biology or suitability for cultivation. With the participation of subsistence farmers a number of projects to bring candidate species into cultivation are in progress, however. This paper describes some tree domestication activities being carried out in southern Cameroon, especially with Irvingia gabonensis (bush mango; dika nut) and Dacryodes edulis (African plum; safoutier). As part of this, fruits and kernels from 300 D. edulis and 150 I. gabonensis trees in six villages of Cameroon and Nigeria have been quantitatively characterized for 11 traits to determine combinations de®ning multi-trait ideotypes for a genetic selection programme.
