TLDR
The red colobus group is thought to be the most influential in the interspecific interaction of the five species of primates in the Kibale Forest in western Uganda.Abstract:
An ecological survey on the influence of interspecific interaction of the primates upon the distribution of their group ranges was carried out in 100 ha of the isolated forest northern outskirts of Kibale Forest in western Uganda, Africa. The study period of 105 days was from the 12th of November, 1970 to the 24th of February, 1971, including a preliminary survey of about two months. The subjects of this study are five species of primates, i.e., black and white colobus (Colobus polykomos), red colobus (Colobus badius), red tailed monkey (Cercopithecus ascanius), blue monkey (Cercopithecus mitis), and vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops), which inhabited the study area. The red colobus group is thought to be the most influential of the five in the interspecific interaction.read more

Interspecific associations of Diana monkeys, Cercopithecus diana, in Sierra Leone, West Africa: biological significance or chance?
TL;DR: No significant relationship between interspecific association and behaviour was found for either study group, when controlling for time of day, and the effects of random processes must be considered before biological significance is attributed to interspecific associations.

Interspecific play between free ranging guerezas ( Colobus guereza ) and vervet monkeys ( Cercopithecus aethiops )
TL;DR: Interspecific play, like other interspecific interactions, seems to be rare among free-living primates, despite the fact that polyspecific associations occur quite frequently, especially among forest-living species.

TL;DR: The territories of these arboreal, forest animals are much smaller than the home ranges of more terrestrial and nonterritorial open-country primaes.

Problems of Distribution and Adaptation of the African Monkeys
TL;DR: Moreau et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed what is known of the distribution of African monkeys and their fundamental ecologies, and some of the problems brought out by this review are discussed, for their possible interest and importance to anthropology.
