}This thesis tested hypotheses related to the dispersal, behaviour patterns and response to forest fragmentation of two endangered colobus monkey species living in sympatry in Cantanhez National Park, Guinea Bissau. Western black-and-white colobus (BWC: Colobus polykomos) and Temminck’s red colobus (TRC: Procolobus badius temminckii) are two forest dwelling primates that share most of their ecological requirements but exhibit contrasting social systems, namely in dispersal, group size and social…

- 2014
It is shown that the Bornean banteng experienced a population expansion following their colonisation of Borneo, and that the present genetic diversity indicates the population may be managed as two geographically-distinct units.
Effects of variation in forest fragment habitat on black howler monkey demography in the unprotected landscape around Palenque National Park, Mexico
- Biology, MedicinePeerJ
- 2020
Differential effects on males and females in a primate population in forest fragments have important conservation implications: if females are more abundant in larger, less isolated fragments, while males areMore abundant in more isolated fragment populations, then to effectively conserve this population, both landscape connectivity and fragment areas should be maintained and increased.
DNA identification of primate bushmeat from urban markets in Guinea-Bissau and its implications for conservation
- Biology
- 2013
It is demonstrated that ignoring the possibility of a misidentification bias can result in inadequate conservation policies by neglecting some of the most affected species, and the importance using molecular tools to correctly identify bushmeat species.

The smallest monkeys had the largest group size and the smallest home range, probably due to their greater dietary diversity and foraging efficiency for mobile arthropods, and similar trends are suggested by the spider, capuchin, and squirrel monkeys.

Comparative analyses using data from other East African populations demonstrate that mean territory size is inversely related to population density and that density, in turn, is a function of the size of the forest block.

The results are in agreement with a limited influence of forest habitat connectivity on gene flow patterns (except for North of the species’ range), suggesting that dispersal is still possible today among most forest patches for this species.
Female dispersal patterns in six groups of ursine colobus (Colobus vellerosus): infanticide avoidance is important

Females appear to emigrate to reduce infanticide threat although feeding competition is reduced in smaller groups as well, and colobines at BFMS are better described as ‘incomplete suppressors’.

Female inter-group aggression was not linked to female philopatry in black-and-white colobus and this indicates that phylogenetic inertia did not constrain this aspect of social behaviour, according to socio-ecological theory.

Female aggression between groups was related to food procurement and that male forays might be related to infanticide, and the species is particularly interesting because female aggression occurs during intergroup interactions in combination with female dispersal.

The hypothesis that the changes in red colobus and blue monkey density are due to changes in the forest structure and abundance of their most selected feeding trees is tested, and it is shown that changes in forest composition cannot account for changes in their red Colobus abundance.
