The use of camera‐trap data to model habitat use by antelope species in the Udzungwa Mountain forests, Tanzania (2008, methodology): “detection rates from methods based on direct sightings and methodological problems extrapolating from indirect signs such as dung or tracks (Bowland & Perrin, 1994; Struhsaker, 1997; Lunt, Bowkett & Plowman, 2007).”
Between-group contest competition for food in a highly folivorous population of black and white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) (2006, background): “All groups regularly used forest edge habitat and regenerating forest—preferred habitats in which guereza densities are highest (Struhsaker 1975, 1997; Oates 1977a; Dunbar 1987; Thomas 1991; Chapman et al. 2000; Chapman and Lambert 2000).”
Flexibility in Diet and Activity Patterns of Macaca tonkeana in Response to Anthropogenic Habitat Alteration (2007, background): “…that inhabit such mosaics face a number of ecological constraints, including lower tree specific richness, diversity, and density (Lee, 1997; Struhsaker, 1997; Turner, 1996, reduced food availability (Johns, 1988, 1991; Struhsaker, 1997), restricted home ranges (Menon and Poirier, 1996),…”
Prospects for Sustainable Logging in Tropical Forests (2012, background): “…harvest intensity is, the greater is the damage to the forest canopy and to residual trees, including young recruits, until a point is passed at which nonpioneer trees of primary forest may no longer grow (Struhsaker 1997, Sist and Nguyen-Thé 2002, Van Gardingen et al. 2006, Anitha et al. 2010).”
Core area quality is associated with variance in reproductive success among female chimpanzees at Kibale National Park (2007, unknown): “Differences in tree density between the northern and central neighbourhoods are also likely to account for differences in frugivore density (Struhsaker 1997; Chapman et al. 2000).”
Ecological Flexibility in Boutourlini’s Blue Monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis boutourlinii) in Jibat Forest, Ethiopia: A Comparison of Habitat Use, Ranging Behavior, and Diet in Intact and Fragmented Forest (2013, background): “For example, groups of samango monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis labiatus) inhabiting forest fragments of Podocarpus in South Africa never entered plantations of Acacia or other matrix habitats nearby (Lawes et al. 2000).”
Effects of rain forest logging on species richness and assemblage composition of small mammals in Southeast Asia (2007, unknown): “Increases in the abundance of some small mammals can lead to an increase in seed predation, which may suppress forest regeneration (Struhsaker, 1997).”
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) modify grouping and vocal behaviour in response to location-specific risk (2007, unknown): “Sector 2 consisted of a large expanse of forest, selectively logged in previous decades (Struhsaker, 1997).”
Ecological and social factors affect the occurrence and outcomes of intergroup encounters in chimpanzees (2012, unknown): “The Kanyawara home range is dominated by mid-altitude semideciduous tropical forest, interspersed with other vegetation classes including papyrus swamp, grassland and regenerating forest (Wrangham et al. 1994; Struhsaker 1997).”
Camera trapping photographic rate as an index of density in forest ungulates (2009, background): “Duikers were seen on the transect several times, however it is difficult to assess whether their shyness may result in missed sightings from transect lines (Struhsaker 1997; Rovero & Mashall 2004).”
Tropical tree community shifts: Implications for wildlife conservation (2010, background): “The section of forest examined in this study (locally known as Forestry Compartment K30) has been described as relatively undisturbed mature forest (Struhsaker, 1975; Skorupa, 1988) or relatively undisturbed old forest (Struhsaker, 1997).”
Population Declines of Colobus in Western Uganda and Conservation Value of Forest Fragments (2007, unknown): “Kibale is a mid-altitude, moistevergreen forest receiving 1741 mm of rainfall annually (1990–2002) during 2 rainy seasons (Chapman and Lambert 2000; Chapman et al. 1997; Struhsaker 1997).”
