  • Urban Ecology of the Vervet Monkey Chlorocebus Pygerythrus in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa ______
    Urban Ecology of the Vervet Monkey Chlorocebus pygerythrus in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa __________________________________ Lindsay L Patterson A thesis presented in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Ecological Sciences At the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa August 2017 ABSTRACT The spread of development globally is extensively modifying habitats and often results in competition for space and resources between humans and wildlife. For the last few decades a central goal of urban ecology research has been to deepen our understanding of how wildlife communities respond to urbanisation. In the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa, urban and rural transformation has reduced and fragmented natural foraging grounds for vervet monkeys Chlorocebus pygerythrus. However, no data on vervet urban landscape use exist. They are regarded as successful urban exploiters, yet little data have been obtained prior to support this. This research investigated aspects of the urban ecology of vervet monkeys in three municipalities of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), as well as factors that may predict human-monkey conflict. Firstly, through conducting an urban wildlife survey, we were able to assess residents’ attitudes towards, observations of and conflict with vervet monkeys, investigating the potential drivers of intragroup variation in spatial ecology, and identifying predators of birds’ nests. We analysed 602 surveys submitted online and, using ordinal regression models, we ascertained that respondents’ attitudes towards vervets were most influenced by whether or not they had had aggressive interactions with them, by the belief that vervet monkeys pose a health risk and by the presence of bird nests, refuse bins and house raiding on their properties.

  • ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES in PRIMATES Katherine Brown Bsc
    ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES IN PRIMATES Katherine Brown BSc, MSc Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 Abstract Numerous endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are found in all mammalian genomes, for example, they are the source of approximately 8% of all human and chimpanzee genetic material. These insertions represent retroviruses which have, by chance, integrated into the germline and so are transmitted vertically from parents to offspring. The human genome is rich in ERVs, which have been characterised in some detail. However, in many non-human primates these insertions have not been well- studied. ERVs are subject to the mutation rate of their host, rather than the faster retrovirus mutation rate, so they change much more slowly than exogenous retroviruses. This means ERVs provide a snapshot of the retroviruses a host has been exposed to during its evolutionary history, including retroviruses which are no longer circulating and for which sequence information would otherwise be lost. ERVs have many effects on their hosts; they can be co-opted for functional roles, they provide regions of sequence similarity where mispairing can occur, their insertion can disrupt genes and they provide regulatory elements for existing genes. Accurate annotation and characterisation of these regions is an important step in interpreting the huge amount of genetic information available for increasing numbers of organisms. This project represents an extensive study into the diversity of ERVs in the genomes of primates and related ERVs in rodents. Lagomorphs (rabbits and hares) and tree shrews are also analysed, as the closest relatives of primates and rodents.

  • 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).

Results from comparative studies provide information about common features across primates and species-specifc features of neuroanatomy. Investigation of various species of non- human primates is important for understanding such features, but the majority of comparative MRI studies have been based on experimental primates, such as common marmoset, macaques, and chimpanzee. A major obstacle has been the lack of a database that includes non-experimental primates’ brain MRIs. To facilitate scientifc discoveries in the feld of comparative neuroanatomy and brain evolution, we launched a collaborative project to develop an open-resource repository of non-human primate brain images obtained using ex vivo MRI. As an initial open resource, here we release a collection of structural MRI and difusion tensor images obtained from 12 species: pygmy marmoset, owl monkey, white-fronted capuchin, crab-eating macaque, Japanese macaque, bonnet macaque, toque macaque, Sykes’ monkey, red-tailed monkey, Schmidt’s guenon, de Brazza’s guenon, and lar gibbon.

    International Journal of Avian & Wildlife Biology Research Article Open Access Home range and habitat use of crop-raiding barbary macaques in the upper ourika valley, western high atlas mountains, morocco Abstract Volume 3 Issue 1 - 2018 Ranging behavior and habitat use reflect the interaction between ecological factors and Salwa Namous, Mohammed Znari patterns of the individual behaviors. We investigated these aspects in a crop-raiding Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco group of Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) between July and August 2012 in a degraded and poor-fruit forest environment in the Upper Ourika valley, western High Correspondence: Mohammed Znari, Cadi Ayyad University, Atlas mountains, Morocco. We evaluated the influences of the spatial distribution of Faculty of Science Semlalia, Boulevard Prince Moulay Abdellah, food resources on ranging behavior and habitat use. Total home range size for the PO Box: 2390, Marrakech, Morocco, Tel +212 697 78 39 59, Fax studied group was 24 ha and the mean daily path length was 1420 m, much lower than +212 524 437412, Email [email protected] those reported for most of the other macaque species. Barbary macaques did not use their home ranges uniformly; 50% of location records occurred within 25% of their Received: October 28, 2017 | Published: January 17, 2018 home range. They use differently the various zones of their home range and more intense occupation of around (cliffs and lower small valley) and within field crops. This can be related to the concentration of food resources in these latters.

  • DRILL INFO Issue 12, August 2011
    DRILL INFO Issue 12, August 2011 Dear members, dear friends of the Drill! Thanks for help from „Save the Drill“! The technical preparations for the reintroduction of the first big group of around 100 Drills into Afi Mountains could be finished. We will report about this in more detail on the annual member meeting on Saturday 27th August at the Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover. We are looking forward to your attendance! Your editorial department Limbe Wi ldlife Centre, Cameroon and Drill Ranch, Nigeria, a field report It was my dream to work with wild animals, especially with primates. When I was a small boy, I saw my first Drill in a zoo and recently I remembered this interesting specie. From 11/30/2010 to 01/30/2011 I completed an internship from for my veterinary study at the Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC) and with Pandrillus in Nigeria. At the LWC and especially at the Drill Ranch in Nigeria the Drills are of high importance. On the Drill Ranch these animals are the only ones which are systematically bred to be reintroduced into the wild. Alone in Nigeria more than 40 offspring were born in 2010. This success is especially due to the natural housing in big groups, in which many males have to compete for access to the females. Due to the increasing number of individuals in the groups the space for the Drills at the LWC is slowly decreasing. A new and bigger enclosure on an already existing area is already planned. A reintroduction project like in Nigeria is also planned.

ABSTRACT Background. West African landscapes are largely characterised by complex agroforest mosaics. Although the West African forests are considered a nonhuman primate hotspot, knowledge on the distribution of many species is often lacking and out- of-date. Considering the fast-changing nature of the landscapes in this region, up- to-date information on primate occurrence is urgently needed, particularly of taxa such as colobines, which may be more sensitive to habitat modification than others. Understanding wildlife occurrence and mechanisms of persistence in these human- dominated landscapes is fundamental for developing effective conservation strategies. Submitted 2 March 2018 Accepted 6 May 2018 Methods. In this paper, we aim to review current knowledge on the distribution of Published 23 May 2018 three threatened primates in Guinea-Bissau and neighbouring regions, highlighting Corresponding author research gaps and identifying priority research and conservation action.
