  • 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).

I thank the Government of Equatorial Guinea, the Ministry of Fisheries and the Environment, Ministry of Information, Press, and Radio, and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for the opportunity to work and live in one of the most beautiful and unique places in the world. I am grateful to the faculty and staff of the National University of Equatorial Guinea who helped me navigate the geographic and bureaucratic landscape of Bioko Island. I would especially like to thank Jose Manuel Esara Echube, Claudio Posa Bohome, Maximilliano Fero Meñe, Eusebio Ondo Nguema, and Mariano Obama Bibang. The journey to my Ph.D. has been considerably more taxing than I expected, and I would not have been able to complete it without the assistance of an expansive list of people.

  • Time Constraints Do Not Limit Group Size in Arboreal Guenons but Do Explain Community Size and Distribution Patterns
    Int J Primatol (2018) 39:511–531 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10764-018-0048-4 Time Constraints Do Not Limit Group Size in Arboreal Guenons but Do Explain Community Size and Distribution Patterns Amanda H. Korstjens1 & Julia Lehmann2 & R. I. M. Dunbar3 Received: 24 October 2017 /Accepted: 3 April 2018 /Published online: 11 July 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract To understand how species will respond to environmental changes, it is important to know how those changes will affect the ecological stress that animals experience. Time constraints can be used as indicators of ecological stress. Here we test whether time constraints can help us understand group sizes, distribution patterns, and community sizes of forest guenons (Cercopithecus/Allochrocebus). Forest guenons typically live in small to medium sized one-male–multifemale groups and often live in communities with multiple forest guenon species. We developed a time-budget model using published data on time budgets, diets, body sizes, climate, and group sizes to predict maximum ecologically tolerable group and community sizes of forest guenons across 202 sub-Saharan African locations. The model correctly predicted presence/absence at 83% of these locations. Feeding-foraging time (an indicator of competition) limited group sizes, while resting and moving time constraints shaped guenon biogeography. Predicted group sizes were greater than observed group sizes but comparable to community sizes, suggesting community sizes are set by competi- tion among guenon individuals irrespective of species. We conclude that time constraints and intraspecific competition are unlikely to be the main determinants of relatively small group sizes in forest guenons. Body mass was negatively correlated with moving time, which may give larger bodied species an advantage Handling Editor: Joanna M.

  • The Primates of East Africa: Country Lists and Conservation Priorities
    African Primates 7 (2): 135-155 (2012) The Primates of East Africa: Country Lists and Conservation Priorities Yvonne A. de Jong & Thomas M. Butynski Eastern Africa Primate Diversity and Conservation Program, Nanyuki, Kenya Lolldaiga Hills Biodiversity Research Programme, Nanyuki, Kenya Abstract: Seventeen genera, 38 species and 47 subspecies of primate occur in East Africa. Tanzania holds the largest number of primate species (27), followed by Uganda (23), Kenya (19), Rwanda (15) and Burundi (13). Six percent of the genera, 24% of the species, and 47% of the subspecies are endemic to the region. East Africa supports 68% of Africa’s primate genera and 41% of Africa’s primate species. In East Africa, Tanzania has the highest number and percentage of endemic genera (one, 7%) and endemic species (at least six, 22%). According to the IUCN Red List, 26% of the 38 species, and 17% of the 47 subspecies, are ‘threatened’ with extinction. No recent taxon of East African primate has become extinct and no recent taxon is known to have been extirpated from the region. Of the 18 threatened primate taxa (ten species, eight subspecies) in East Africa, all but four are present in at least one of the seven most ‘primate species-rich’ protected areas. The most threatened primates in East Africa are Tana River red colobus Procolobus rufomitratus rufomitratus, Tana River mangabey Cercocebus galeritus, and kipunji Rungwecebus kipunji. The most threatened, small, yet critical, sites for primate conservation in East Africa are the Tana River Primate National Reserve in Kenya, and the Mount Rungwe Nature Reserve-Kitulo National Park block in Tanzania.
