Characterization of a novel simian immunodeficiency virus from guereza colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) in Cameroon: a new lineage in the nonhuman primate lentivirus family.
Exploration of the diversity among primate lentiviruses is necessary to elucidate the origins and evolution of immunodeficiency viruses. During a serological survey in Cameroon, we screened 25 wild-born guereza colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) and identified 7 with HIV/SIV cross-reactive antibodies. In this study, we describe a novel lentivirus, named SIVcol, prevalent in guereza colobus monke...
متن کاملThe alarm call system of two species of black-and-white colobus monkeys (Colobus polykomos and Colobus guereza).
Vervet monkey alarm calling has long been the paradigmatic example of how primates use vocalizations in response to predators. In vervets, there is a close and direct relationship between the production of distinct alarm vocalizations and the presence of distinct predator types. Recent fieldwork has however revealed the use of several additional alarm calling systems in primates. Here, the auth...
متن کاملPopulation status of black and white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) in Kakamega Forest, Kenya: are they really on the decline?
INTRODUCTION Most primate populations today face ongoing habitat disturbance, yet not all species respond to disturbance the same way. While many primate species experience declines in population density when their habitats are disturbed, there are several that do not and these flexible species will generally require less conservation attention (Johns & Skorupa 1987; Cowlishaw & Dunbar 2000). C...
متن کاملBlack and White Colobus Monkey (Colobus guereza) Roars as a Source of Both Honest and Exaggerated Information About Body Mass
Many studies and reviews (e.g. Morton 1977; Fitch & Hauser 1995, 2002; Fitch 1997, 2000) have discussed the potential for mammalian vocalizations to provide honest signals of body size. Researchers have frequently investigated the link between fundamental frequency, F0 (i.e. pitch), and body size, but have not always found strong relationships between the two (e.g. Lass & Brown 1978; Masataka 1...
متن کاملMortality trends in the African cherry (Prunus africana) and the implications for colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) in Kakamega Forest, Kenya
Prunus africana (Hook.f.) Kalkm. is a secondary forest canopy tree species that has been declining over much of its geographical range in sub-Saharan Africa during recent decades due to unsustainable harvesting of its bark for the international medicinal plant trade. One of the locations where the species is experiencing rapid mortality is Isecheno study site in the Kakamega Forest, Kenya where...
