Getting from here to there may be simple for one individual. But as any parent, scout leader, or CEO knows, herding a whole troop in direction is lot more complicated. Who leads the group? decides where group will travel, and using what information? How do they accomplish these tasks? On Move addresses questions, examining social, cognitive ecological processes that underlie patterns strategies of travel. Chapters discuss how factors such size, resource distribution availability, costs...
Ming Li, Ruiqiang Li and colleagues report the whole-genome sequencing of a male golden snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus roxellana, as well its relatives bieti, brelichi strykeri. Their analysis provides insights into primate evolution adaptation to diet consisting primarily leaves seeds. Colobines are unique group Old World monkeys that principally eat seeds rather than fruits insects. We at 146× coverage, de novo assembly analyses genome monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) resequencing 30×...
Primates occur in 90 countries, but four—Brazil, Madagascar, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—harbor 65% world’s primate species (439) 60% these primates are Threatened, Endangered, or Critically Endangered (IUCN Red List Threatened Species 2017-3). Considering their importance for global conservation, we examine anthropogenic pressures each country is facing that place populations at risk. Habitat loss fragmentation main threats to Brazil, Indonesia. However, DRC...

From field data collected in the Amazon Basin of northeastern Peru, I present evidence that moustached (Saguinus mystax) and saddle-back fuscicollis) tamarins maintain detailed knowledge distribution location many tree species their home range. During wet season months October through December 1984, fruits exudates from 20 over 150 individual trees accounted for 75% plant feeding time. These exhibited a patchy distribution; mean nearest-neighbor distances between same averaged 148 meters....
The idea that competition and aggression are central to an understanding of the origins group-living sociality among human nonhuman primates is dominant theory in primatology today. Using this paradigm, researchers have focused their attention on competitive aggressive behaviors, tended overlook importance cooperative affiliative behaviors. However, behaviors considerably more common than agonistic all primate species. current paradigm often fails explain context, function, social tactics...

A preliminary field study was conducted on moustached tamarin monkeys (Saguinus mystax) inhabiting Padre Isla, a small island in the Amazon Basin of northeastern Peru. Data presented indicate that groups are generally composed 3-8 individuals including single breeding female, 1-3 reproductively active males, nonreproductive adult females, and offspring. Migration adults subadults into out established is common, it unlikely S. mystax social units represent nuclear or extended families. It...
ABSTRACT In all mammals, growth, development, pregnancy, and lactation increase nutritional demands. Although primate field studies tend to focus on shifts in activity diet as mechanisms compensate for these demands, differences digestive efficiency also are likely be important. Because the gut microbiota can impact host efficiency, we examined budget, diet, microbial community among adult male ( N = 4), female juvenile 5) wild black howler monkeys Alouatta pigra ) across a ten‐month period...
Multilevel societies (MLS), in which polygynous reproductive units are nested a larger social matrix, represent highly complex system documented only small number of mammalian species. Using long-term behavioural data, satellite telemetry and network analysis, we present new framework for understanding the function dynamics golden snub-nosed monkey MLS. Here show that several one-male form cohesive breeding band associates with one or more all-male to herd. Herds seasonally aggregate...
Currently, ~65% of extant primate species (ca 512 species) distributed in 91 countries the Neotropics, mainland Africa, Madagascar, South Asia and Southeast are threatened with extinction 75% have declining populations as a result deforestation habitat loss resulting from increasing global market demands, land conversion for industrial agriculture, cattle production natural resource extraction. Other pressures that negatively impact primates unsustainable bushmeat hunting, illegal trade pets...
A growing global human population, habitat conversion, and the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources have created unsustainable demands on nature, resulting in widespread biodiversity loss. Primates, which represent third most specious Order mammals, are facing an extinction crisis. Currently, 69% primate species listed by IUCN as threatened (Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered) 94% declining populations. Here, we examine two primary threats to population persistence,...
