Towards an ecological solution to the folivore paradox: patch depletion as an indicator of within-group scramble competition in red colobus monkeys (Piliocolobus tephrosceles) (2005, background): “Last, folivore biomass can be predicted by food availability, particularly high-quality foods (McKey et al. 1981; Waterman et al. 1988; Davies 1994; Fimbel et al. 2001; Chapman and Chapman 2002; Chapman et al. 2002a).”
Influence of Plant and Soil Chemistry on Food Selection, Ranging Patterns, and Biomass of Colobus guereza in Kakamega Forest, Kenya (2007, unknown): “…have studied the influence of nutritional factors on food choice among guerezas only at the sites where they are most folivorous (Kibale: Baranga, 1982, 1983; Chapman et al., 2002, 2003, 2004; Oates, 1978; Oates et al., 1977; Rode et al., 2003; Wasserman and Chapman, 2003; Ituri: Bocian, 1997).”
Mineral Resource Availability and Consumption by Colobus in Kibale National Park, Uganda (2003, background): “However, with improved transport in the region, clearing for timber , gin brewing, charcoal, brick making, and agriculture have become more profitable; consequently, some neighboring fragments have been cleared (Chapman et al., 2002).”
A long-term evaluation of fruiting phenology: importance of climate change (2005, background): “At this site, a large proportion of the Trilepisium madagascariense population has repeatedly fruited in recent years (Chapman et al. 2002, C. A. Chapman & L. J. Chapman unpubl. data), suggesting that drier conditions may promote fruiting.”
Nutritional Correlates of Population Density Across Habitats and Logging Intensities in Redtail Monkeys (Cercopithecus ascanius) 1 (2006, background): “Relationships between nutrient availability and population densities have been reported for tropical folivores (Oates et al. 1990, Chapman et al. 2002), but few, if any, studies have examined this relationship in frugivores.”
Linking feeding ecology and population abundance: a review of food resource limitation on primates (2013, methodology): “These important ideas proposed by Milton have been applied at the population level by others (McKey et al. 1981; Waterman et al. 1988; Oates et al. 1990; Davies 1994; Chapman et al. 2002).”
Tropical tree community shifts: Implications for wildlife conservation (2010, background): “Previous research has shown that availability of leaves rich in protein and low in fiber positively correlates with the abundance of arboreal folivores like the red colobus (Oates et al., 1990; Ganzhorn, 1992; Chapman and Chapman, 2002; Chapman et al., 2002, 2004).”
Influence of Dry Season and Food Quality and Quantity on Behavior and Feeding Strategy of Propithecus verreauxi in Kirindy, Madagascar (2006, background): “Protein and fiber contents influence leaf selection and digestion in several arboreal folivorous primates, such as colobines, howlers, and some lemur species (Chapman et al., 2002; Edwards and Ullrey, 1999).”
Thirty Years of Research in Kibale National Park, Uganda, Reveals a Complex Picture for Conservation (2003, methodology): “By combining our new data with previously published data (Oates et al., 1990; Chapman and Chapman, 2002; Chapman et al., 2002), we demonstrated that colobine biomass at the 14 sites could be predicted from the protein-to-fiber ratios of the mature leaves there (r2 = 0.”
Dietary and Feeding Differences Between Sympatric Propithecus diadema diadema and Indri indri (2003, background): “The distribution of many folivorous primates can be attributed to leaf quality—the ratio of protein to fiber concentrations—and more seasonal forests (with more new leaf growth) have more folivorous primates than evergreen forests have (Chapman et al., 2002; Ganzhorn, 1992, 2002; Oates et al., 1990)”
Forest fragmentation and the distribution, abundance and conservation of the Tana river red colobus (Procolobus rufomitratus) (2004, background): “It is also associated with the abundance of leguminous trees in their habitat in Asia (Davies, 1994) but not in Africa (Davies et al., 1999; Chapman et al., 2002), and Chapman and Chapman (1999) reported that it is related to cumulative basal area of food trees at Kibale (Africa) if they removed one”
