The Evolution of Food Calls: Vocal Behaviour of Sooty Mangabeys in the Presence of Food
The two main theories of food-associated calls in animals propose functions either in cooperative recruitment or competitive spacing. However, not all social animals produce food calls and it is largely unclear under what circumstances this call type ...

Hematology and serum chemistry values of sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys): comparison with rhesus monkeys. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe sooty mangabey is a vulnerable West African species that naturally harbors simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) without pathological symptoms. We present normative hematology and serum chemistry values for this species.MethodsHematology analytes from 136 females and 96 males and serum chemistry analytes from 57 females and 26 males

Dental morphology and mechanical efficiency during development in a hard object feeding primate (Cercocebus atys) [PDF]
Teeth play a prominent role in food acquisition and processing by providing the working surfaces to initiate and propagate fracture. Variation in the shape and size of teeth has therefore naturally been associated with various dietary adaptations ...

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

Within-group spatial position and activity budget of wild sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) in Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire [PDF]
Within social groups, feeding competition and predation pressure affect individual spatial position. The costs and benefits associated to each position are likely to influence the time that individuals allocate to different activities. Whether the effect
