Degree awarded June 2019 ii © 2019 Monya Anderson iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Monya Anderson Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology June 2019 Title: Functional Morphology, Variation, and Niche Separation in the Large-Bodied Fossil Colobines Colobines are ecological referents that can be used to assess and reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions. Colobine taxa discussed here include Paracolobus mutiwa, P. Cercopithecoides williamsi, C. kimeui, and Rhinocolobus turkanensis. All of these taxa except for R. turkanensis display postcranial adaptations consistent with terrestrial locomotion in contrast to their exclusively arboreal African counterparts. At sites like these of the Upper Burgi Member of Koobi Fora, these four large colobines, up to four species of hominins, and three large-bodied cercopithecine taxa are known. This level of sympatry in primate communities is unmatched in modern habitats emphasizing the importance of niche separation for understanding diversity in the fossil record. The descriptions of two previously undescribed specimens: P. mutiwa specimen KNM-WT 16827 and the informally designated P. mutiwa specimen L895-1are presented here with detailed qualitative and quantitative postcranial analyses. Postcranial measurements from fossil colobines, fossil cercopithecines, and a large extant sample for comparative purposes. Measurements include 112 linear metrics and 54 functional indices. Body mass estimates for the fossil descriptions were calculated based on published equations for postcranial estimation. Dietary proxies for the fossil taxa are based on dental iv morphology and taken from the literature. Substrate preference is estimated using qualitative description of skeletal elements, quantitative comparison to extant taxa, and observational data of substrate use of extant species. Paracolobus mutiwa specimen KNM-WT 16827 shows postcranial morphologies consistent with terrestriality distinct from Cercopithecoides and Theropithecus and is distinct from P. chemeroni to a degree warranting generic reassessment of the species. Specimen L895-1 shows postcranial morphology consistent with terrestriality, is distinct from other contemporaneous cercopithecids, and is most similar in size and morphology to P. mutiwa. The niche separation analyses show C. williamsi to be the most terrestrial of the large colobines with the largest consumption of leaves. P. mutiwa overlaps with C. williamsi in size, but is less terrestrial and R. turkanensis is the least. There is also clear separation among the large colobines and Theropithecus in diet and substrate use. The sympatry and diversity of these large-bodied colobines suggests a much more diverse and dynamic primate environment than seen in East Africa today. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Monya Anderson GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene, OR Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN DEGREES AWARDED: Doctor of Philosophy, Biological Anthropology, 2019, University of Oregon Master of Science, Biological Anthropology, 2012, University of Oregon Bachelor of Arts, Anthropology, 2010, Purdue University AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Biological anthropology, non-human and human primate fossil record, paleoanthropology, functional morphology, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, vertebrate paleontology PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Graduate Employee, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2010-2019 Instructor of Record, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2017-2019 GRANTS, AWARDS, AND HONORS: Graduate Teaching Fellowship, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2010-2019 Johnston Scholarship Graduate Research Fellowship, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2018 Departmental Nominee for Dissertation Research Fellowship, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2018 Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant, National Science Foundation, 2017 Graduate School Research Award, University of Oregon, 2013 vi Johnston Scholarship Graduate Research Fellowship, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2013 Departmental Travel Award, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2012 Departmental Travel Award, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, 2011 Outstanding Senior in Anthropology, Department of Anthropology, Purdue University, 2010 O.

Hlusko * Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, 3060 Valley Life Sciences Building, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA Received 16 February 2004; accepted 29 September 2004 Available online 28 October 2005 Abstract The Colobinae (Mammalia: Primates) are relatively unknown from the African middle to late Miocene. When they appear in the Pliocene they are unambiguous and already fairly diverse taxonomically, geographically, and ecologically. Discoveries from Pliocene sediments in eastern and southern Africa document a radiation of large-bodied colobines very different from those known today. Paleontological research in Ethiopia has recently led to the discovery and identification of another large-bodied colobine species from the early Pliocene site of Asa Issie, discovered in 2000. This new colobine is larger than but morphologically very similar to its sister taxon Kuseracolobus aramisi, an older taxon also described from the Middle Awash. This new species has significant implications for our understanding of the Pliocene colobine adaptive radiation. © 2005 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.

  • Areas 1- Ern Africa
    Kroeber Anthropological Society Papers, Nos. 71-72, 1990 Diet, Species Diversity and Distribution of African Fossil Baboons Brenda R. Benefit and Monte L. McCrossin Based on measurements ofmolarfeatures shown to befunctionally correlated with the proportions of fruits and leaves in the diets ofextant monkeys, Plio-Pleistocenepapionin baboonsfrom southern Africa are shown to have included more herbaceous resources in their diets and to have exploited more open country habitats than did the highlyfrugivorousforest dwelling eastern African species. The diets ofall species offossil Theropithecus are reconstructed to have included morefruits than the diets ofextant Theropithecus gelada. Theropithecus brumpti, T. quadratirostris and T. darti have greater capacitiesfor shearing, thinner enamel and less emphases on the transverse component ofmastication than T. oswaldi, and are therefore interpreted to have consumed leaves rather than grass. Since these species are more ancient than the grass-eating, more open country dwelling T. oswaldi, the origin ofthe genus Thero- pithecus is attributed tofolivorous adaptations by largepapionins inforest environments rather than to savannah adapted grass-eaters. Reconstructions ofdiet and habitat are used to explain differences in the relative abundance and diversity offossil baboons in eastern andsouthern Africa. INTRODUCTION abundance between eastern and southern Africa is observed for members of the Papionina (Papio, Interpretations of the dietary habits of fossil Cercocebus, Parapapio, Gorgopithecus, and Old World monkeys have been based largely on Dinopithecus).

  • 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.
