  • 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).

Also known as ‘white-eyelid’ mangabeys for their distinctive white-eyelids which they flash in threat displays; they are highly terrestrial, spending a large amount of time on the forest floor rather than up in the trees like the majority of primates. Part of the reason they are so little-known is that they are usually found deep in the forest, in regions that are difficult to access and not often visited by tourists or researchers. The Bristol Zoological Society has partnered with the Sanje Mangabey Project Human-wildlife co-existence (established in 2006) to aid in the conservation of one of the least studied of the Cercocebus mangabeys. The Sanje mangabey (Cercocebus sanjei) is endemic to the Working with neighbouring Udzungwa Mountains of south-central Tanzania; also known as the Galapagos communities to understand issues of Africa, for their high level of endemism in such a small area. The mangabeys related to co-existence with wildlife are listed as Endangered due to declining population size, habitat loss and forest fragmentation.

Its consequent referral to a new genus, Rungwecebus, has met with skepticism among papionin researchers, who have questioned Keywords: both the robustness of the phylogenetic results and the kipunji’s morphological distinctiveness. This Rungwecebus circumstance has been exacerbated by the immaturity of the single available specimen (FMNH 187122), Lophocebus an M1-stage juvenile. Therefore, a geometric morphometric analysis of juvenile papionin cranial shape Papio Papionini was used to explore the kipunji’s phenetic affinities and evaluate morphological support for its sepa- Geometric morphometrics ration from Lophocebus. Three-dimensional craniometric landmarks and semi-landmarks were collected on a sample of 124 subadult (dp4-M2 stage) cercopithecid crania. Traditional interlandmark distances were compared and a variety of multivariate statistical shape analyses were performed for the zygo- maxillary region (diagnostic in mangabeys) and the cranium as a whole. Raw and size-adjusted inter- landmark distances show the kipunji to have a relatively taller, shorter neurocranium and broader face and cranial base than is seen in M1-stage Lophocebus.

POVAR AND JASON MACHAN, CONSULTING EDITORS ELVA MATHIESEN, ASSISTANT EDITOR ALLAN M. SCHRIER, FOUNDING EDITOR, 1962-1987 Published Quarterly by the Schrier Research Laboratory Psychology Department, Brown University Providence, Rhode Island ISSN 0023-6861 POLICY STATEMENT The Laboratory Primate Newsletter provides a central source of information about nonhuman primates and related matters to scientists who use these animals in their research and those whose work supports such research. The Newsletter (1) provides information on care and breeding of nonhuman primates for laboratory research, (2) disseminates general information and news about the world of primate research (such as announcements of meetings, research projects, sources of information, nomenclature changes), (3) helps meet the special research needs of individual investigators by publishing requests for research material or for information related to specific research problems, and (4) serves the cause of conservation of nonhuman primates by publishing information on that topic. As a rule, research articles or summaries accepted for the Newsletter have some practical implications or provide general information likely to be of interest to investigators in a variety of areas of primate research. However, special consideration will be given to articles containing data on primates not conveniently publishable elsewhere. General descriptions of current research projects on primates will also be welcome. The Newsletter appears quarterly and is intended primarily for persons doing research with nonhuman primates. Back issues may be purchased for $10.00 each. We are no longer printing paper issues, except those we will send to subscribers who have paid in advance.
