Mangabey (Cercocebus albigena) ranging patterns in relation to fruit availability and the risk of parasite infection in Kibale National Park, Uganda
William Olupot,William Olupot,Colin A. Chapman,Colin A. Chapman,Peter M. Waser,Gilbert Isabirye Basuta +5 more
TL;DR: In this 9 month study of mangabeys in the Kanyawara study area of Kibale National Park, mangabey moved longer distances during the wet season than during the dry season, consistent with the hypothesis that fruit availability is a main factor influencing mangabey ranging patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mangabey (Cercocebus albigena) population density, group size, and ranging: A twenty‐year comparison
TL;DR: Mangabey groups studied in the Kibale Forest Reserve, Uganda, in 1971 were studied again in 1991 using similar data collection protocols to assess the effect of group size on activity budgets and travel costs, and to document the effects of habitat changes on mangabey density and demography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term Site Fidelity and Individual Home Range Shifts in Lophocebus albigena
TL;DR: The authors' observations raise the possibility that male mangabeys use a finder-joiner mechanism when moving into new home ranges during secondary dispersal, and that females might learn new resource locations from male immigrants before or during group fission.
Journal ArticleDOI
The status of anthropogenic threat at the people-park interface of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the types and distribution of threats to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda and found that the commonest threats were harvesting of wood and poles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity patterns, habitat use and mortality risks of mangabey males living outside social groups
William Olupot,Peter M. Waser +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of grey-cheeked mangabey dispersal in Kibale National Park, Uganda between October 1996 to February 1999 suggests that dispersing males may not face increased risk of starvation, but are at higher risk of mortality (primarily through predation by eagles) than nondispersing males.
