Here, I examine overlapping resource use of forest and cultivated resources by villagers tonkean macaques (Macaca tonkeana) in Lore Lindu National Park, Sulawesi, Indonesia. An integrative research design was employed, using methods from primatology cultural anthropology, conjunction with quantitative measurements cacao crop loss. The results indicate that the current patterns may not be severely affecting or Lindu. does, however, point to possible future difficulty if raiding increases, as...
Abstract The emerging field of ethnoprimatology focuses on the conservation implications ecological and cultural interconnections between humans other primates. ethnoprimatological research reported here examined how Tonkean macaque Macaca tonkeana is situated in folklore villagers Lore Lindu National Park, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were collected using ethnographic interview techniques. interviews revealed that envision monkeys as biologically, ecologically culturally interrelated....
Abstract The goal of this study was to investigate the ecological flexibility Tonkean macaques ( Macaca tonkeana ) by examining how they respond human‐induced habitat alteration. To do so, I observed movement patterns, forest strata use, microhabitat and home range use in two groups that occupied habitats with different levels human alteration quality Lore Lindu National Park, Sulawesi, Indonesia. group occupying heavily altered (Anca) spent a significantly greater proportion time traveling...
The emerging practice of ethnoprimatology creates an important venue for diverse epistemologies in anthropology and primatology to interact intellectually robust engaged manner. At the same time that multispecies ethnographies are becoming more common social anthropology, a subset primatologists immersing themselves approaches merge ethnographic engagement with primate studies. In these endeavors distinction between “human worlds” “nature” is discarded entanglements become central aspects...
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019 and human responses to the resulting COVID-19 pandemic early 2020 have rapidly changed many aspects behavior, including our interactions with wildlife. In this commentary, we identify challenges opportunities at human-primate interfaces light COVID-19, focusing on examples from Asia, make recommendations for researchers working wild primates reduce zoonosis risk leverage research opportunities. First, briefly review evidence zoonotic origins discuss...
ABSTRACT How group‐living primates come to a consensus about navigating their environment is result of decision‐making processes. Although has been examined in several primate taxa, it remains underexplored for living anthropogenic landscapes. To shed light on and flexibility this process, we collective movement behavior group wild moor macaques ( Macaca maura ) experiencing risk‐reward tradeoff as roadside provisioning within Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park South Sulawesi, Indonesia....
There is a vast and ever-accumulating amount of behavioural data on individually recognised animals, an incredible resource to shed light the ecological evolutionary drivers variation in animal behaviour. Yet, full potential such lies comparative research across taxa with distinct life histories ecologies. Substantial challenges impede systematic comparisons, one which lack persistent, accessible standardised databases. Big-team approaches building databases offer solution facilitating...
Abstract This study examines the arachnoid fossae (AF) in crania from early modern Wrocław, Poland, and their connection to endocranial lesions, specifically abnormal blood vessel impressions (ABVI) periosteal appositions of dura mater (PADM). AF are fovea on inner surface cranial bone, which arise as result granulations’ (AG) protruding causing resorption bone. ABVI PADM non-specific pathological lesions caused by inflammation hemorrhages meninges. The goal is determine if size associated...
Abstract Nutritional ecology has been linked to crop raiding behavior in a number of wildlife taxa. Here our goal is explore the role nutrition plays cacao by Tonkean macaques Macaca tonkeana Sulawesi, Indonesia. From June – Sept. 2008 we collected fruit samples from 13 species known be important macaque foods and compared their nutritional value that Theobroma cacao, an cash Sulawesi. Cacao pulp was significantly lower protein, but dietary fiber, higher digestible carbohydrates energy...
In this article, I articulate what call an "informed primatology," exploring how primatologists' study populations and the sociocultural political contexts in which we work have shaped research anthropological primatology. One particularly salient context is disciplinary context: that is, primatology relates to informed by broader discipline of anthropology. a 1999 Annual Review Anthropology piece titled "Whither Primatology?," anthropologist Peter Rodman wrote "not only there lack common...
Human-wildlife encounters are becoming increasingly frequent across the globe, often leading people to interact with and feed wild animals impacting animal behaviour ecology. Although nature of human-wildlife interactions has been well documented a number species, we still have limited understanding as why some individual more frequently humans than others. Additionally, lack comprehensive how these influence social networks. Using behavioural data from group moor macaque monkeys (Macaca...
Abstract As members of professional organizations such as American Society Primatologists (ASP) and the International Primatological (IPS), primatologists must adhere to a set nonhuman primate‐focused principles outlined in resolutions policy statements on, for example, ethical treatment primates. Those us that work field also address issues protection primate health wild conservation populations. Moreover, we increasingly find ourselves complex situations where balance human needs...
Field primatologists have ethical responsibilities that extend beyond study subjects to the local human communities living near primate populations and their surrounding ecosystems. In this review, we explore history of discussions within anthropological primatology examine best practices for an ethically engaged should be followed role-modeled by primatologists. An increasing number primates are showing reduced population sizes in imminent danger extinction; thus, need carefully consider...
