Calibrating occupancy to density estimations to assess abundance and vulnerability of a threatened primate in Tanzania

Ecosphere, 2023
The current decline of mammals worldwide makes quantitative population assessments crucial, especially for range‐restricted and threatened species. However, robust abundance estimations are challenging for elusive or otherwise difficult to detect species.

Inter- and intra-specific gene-density-correlated radial chromosome territory arrangements are conserved in Old World monkeys [PDF]

, 2005
Recently it has been shown that the gene-density correlated radial distribution of human 18 and 19 homologous chromosome territories (CTs) is conserved in higher primates in spite of chromosomal rearrangements that occurred during evolution.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Low antibody prevalence against Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis in Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, indicates high rate of lethal infections in wildlife.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis (Bcbva) is a member of the B. cereus group which carries both B. anthracis virulence plasmids, causes anthrax-like disease in various wildlife species and was described in several sub-Saharan African rainforests.

Estimating species richness and modelling habitat preferences of tropical forest mammals from camera trap data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Medium-to-large mammals within tropical forests represent a rich and functionally diversified component of this biome; however, they continue to be threatened by hunting and habitat loss. Assessing these communities implies studying species' richness and

Rethinking Spatial Prioritisation for Primate Conservation in an Unprotected Intact Forest Landscape in the Gulf of Guinea

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
This study highlights the importance of the unprotected Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area, Cameroon, for primate conservation in the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot. We modelled primate distribution patterns and found that historically overlooked parts of the landscape have high species richness and are critical for some threatened species.

Audience effects in sooty mangabey agonistic behavior

Frontiers in Psychology
The term ‘Audience Effects’, refers to behavioral changes triggered by the mere presence of others and has been extensively studied in animals to explore their capacity for social awareness and intentionality.

Identification of trypanosomes in wild animals from Southern Cameroon using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Parasite, 2002
One possible explanation of the maintenance of many historical foci of sleeping sickness in Central Africa could be the existence of a wild animal reservoir.

Behavioural patterns of vocal greeting production in four primate species [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Social animals have evolved a range of signals to avoid aggressive and facilitate affiliative interactions. Vocal behaviour is especially important in this respect with many species, including various primates, producing acoustically distinct ‘greeting ...
