According to people we spoke with in San Antonio, infants and juveniles can be seen with their mothers during December–January. The size of the infants observed in December suggest that one was a newborn and the other two perhaps months old, suggesting births in October– December. The yellow-tailed woolly monkeys in San Antonio are phenotypically distinct from those further north. All ob- served individuals had distinct white patches on the brow, one above each eye (Plate ). This trait has been seen among populations in San Martín and Amazonas, but paler in colour and not in all individuals. The eponymous patch of yellow fur that surrounds the callus friction pad at the ventrodistal end of the prehensile tail is smaller in the Junín individuals than in those further north. All other aspects of appearance (mahogany fur, bright yellow scrotal tuft and pubic hair, white muzzle) seem consistent with other members of the species (Aquino et al., ). Despite being accessible from major towns such as Satipo, via road A, the forest in our study area is not heavily frag- mented and still has high connectivity, with large tracts of primary forest on the steep slopes. Closer to San Antonio the forest is disturbed, largely by farming. The forest sur- rounding San Antonio is better preserved and more intact on the northern side of the Río Pampa Hermosa because of the steep terrain, which limits accessibility for farming.

The regions of Pasco and Ucayali have never been explored for the primates that occur there, which motivated us to conduct this study, to assess the conservation status of the primates and especially to determine the limits of the distribution of the Peruvian yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Lagothrix flavicauda). Linear transect censuses were conducted from July to October 2018 in six survey sites. In 709 km traveled, we saw 28 groups of five species. The Peruvian woolly monkey Lagothrix( lagoth- richa tschudii) and the Marañón white-fronted capuchin (Cebus yuracus) were the most sighted, with eight and seven groups, respectively. Lagothrix flavicauda was not recorded in any of the survey sites, but we do not rule out its presence in other areas, particularly in Pasco. Red howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) groups averaged 3.4 members, ranging from 2 to 6. The black spider monkey (Ateles chamek) and C. yuracus were seen in larger groups.

We present preliminary behavioral data on A. miconax collected during 12 months of surveys on a single group living in a 1.4 ha forest fragment near the Centro Poblado La Esperanza, Amazonas Department. Follows were conducted for five nights each month around full moon. The group used 1.23 ha as their home range. Night ranges were between 0.16 and 0.63 ha. Activity budgets were 32 % feeding, 53 % travelling and 13 % resting. Average night path length was 823 m and average travel speed was 117 m/h. The study group has one of the smallest home ranges recorded for a night monkey group, probably the result of its isolated habitat. These results represent the first behavioral data on this species but results are limited by small sample sizes. A. miconax remains one of the least studied of all primates and is threatened by continued expansion of human populations and hunting. Key Words: Owl monkey; Ranging; Fragmentation; Activity Budget; Conservation Resumen: El mono nocturno peruano (Aotus miconax) es endémico de las laderas orientales de los Andes, al noreste del Perú.

Suarez1 1 Tropical Conservation Fund, Marietta, GA 30064, USA; 2 State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, NY, USA; 3 Colorado College, Colorado Springs, CO, USA *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study of wild black-headed night monkey (Aotus nigriceps) ecology is limited to a single field station, despite the species being found across a vast distributional range in the Amazon. We studied several aspects of their ecology, specifically habitat use, group size, population density, and diet. All sampled groups were found in secondary tropical rainforest, often dominated by either native bamboo or cane species. Sleeping sites were often in bamboo stands, though groups were also found in cane thickets and lianas. This is in contrast to other Aotus studies which have found groups living in tree cavities and lianas. Population density estimates varied between field sites (19 and 50 individuals per km2), but both were consistent with other Aotus studies (31-40 individuals per km2). And, twelve seed species were recovered from fecal samples over the course of two field seasons, dominated primarily by Cecropiaceae, Piperaceae and Moraceae.

  • NPC Peru 2019 REPORT to Time
    NPC Peru 2019 REPORT TO TiME Update on lands purchased in 2017 and 2018 July 2019 Background NPC is dedicated to the conservation of Neotropical primates and their habitats in South and Central America. We aim to promote the conservation of forest habitats and wildlife, specifically non-human primates, through a variety of means. These include: land protection and the creation of reserves; conservation orientated scientific investigation with local ‘parabiologists’; improvements to degraded habitat for wildlife; public awareness campaigns and environmental education; assisting the rescue, rehabilitation and reintroduction of wild animals to their natural habitats and working to stop the illegal trade in wildlife. All our work is carried out in conjunction with, and for the benefit of local people. The NPC team and visiting researchers prior to biological monitoring trips in 2018. The photo was taken outside our office in the village of La Esperanza in the Yambrasbamba community. NPC has been instrumental in the creation of 11 protected areas, as well as corridors between critical habitat for multiple Threatened species. For the creation and management of these reserves we have carried out biological inventories, capacity building, provided legal advice and helped raise funds for management. We have first-hand knowledge of the social, economic and environmental conflicts related with the establishment of protected areas, negotiating agreements and coordinating work with the local organizations. Project focal areas: The Campesino Community of Yambrasbamba lies within a high priority site for conservation at the heart of the “Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot”, the most biodiverse region on earth. It is also one of the most threatened areas and is home to many endemic and endangered species.

Our 2017 trip was really fun; the trip went really smoothly, we enjoyed superb weather, and had great birding with over 500 species and close to 40 Peruvian endemics. Some favorites included the Peruvian Plantcutter shown above, the truly Marvelous Spatuletail, awesome views of Gray-bellied Comet, six antpittas including an amazingly cooperative Pale-billed Antpitta (it was worth the hike!), two crescentchests, and three inca-finches. New feeding stations in the area helped us get some superb sightings of normally tough species including Rusty-tinged Antpitta, Rufous-breasted Wood-Quail, tinamous, and Ecuadorian Piedtail.
