| diet and feeding behaviour of samango monkeys (cercopithecus mitis labiatus) in ngoye forest, south africa. | the samango monkey occurs at the southern limit of the range of cercopithecus mitis. greater climatic seasonality at this latitude results in more predictable fruiting patterns. in addition, there are no diurnal sympatric primate frugivores. under these conditions, the diet and feeding strategies of samango monkeys would be expected to differ notably from those of central or east african c. mitis subspecies. contrary to these expectations, the preliminary observations reported here indicate that ... | 1990 | 2323688 |
| gastro-intestinal parasites of the samango monkey, cercopithecus mitis, in natal, south africa. | eight gastro-intestinal tracts of cercopithecus mitis labiatus from karkloof, natal, and 121 fecal samples from c. m. erythrarchus from cape vidal, natal, were examined for helminth parasites and/or their eggs. fecal samples from six of the c. m. labiatus were examined for protozoan cysts. five protozoon and six helminth species were identified from c. m labiatus. most adult worms occurred in the caecum and colon, gut regions which also contained the highest volatile fatty acid levels. the eggs ... | 1994 | 7932640 |
| samango monkeys (cercopithecus albogularis labiatus) manage risk in a highly seasonal, human-modified landscape in amathole mountains, south africa. | wild species use habitats that vary in risk across space and time. this risk can derive from natural predators and also from direct and indirect human pressures. a starving forager will often take risks that a less hungry forager would not. at a highly seasonal and human-modified site, we predicted that arboreal samango monkeys (cercopithecus albogularis labiatus) would show highly flexible, responsive, risk-sensitive foraging. we first determined how monkeys use horizontal and vertical space ac ... | 2017 | 28546650 |
