• Between-group contest competition for food in a highly folivorous population of black and white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) (2006, methodology): “This statement does not apply to guerezas if males defend food resources (Fashing 2001a; Harris 2005), however, because males are the main participants in intergroup aggression, and large groups, as well as multimale groups, are not more likely to win encounters (Fashing 1999, 2001a; Harris 2005).”
• Dietary Variability of Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda (2004, background): “Studies of dietary variability have demonstrated that portraying the diet of a species from research of one or two groups can lead to overgeneralizations that may provide too limited a view of dietary flexibility (chimpanzees: Basabose, 2002; Ghiglieri, 1984; McGrew et al., 1988; blackand-white colo”
• Flexibility in Diet and Activity Patterns of Macaca tonkeana in Response to Anthropogenic Habitat Alteration (2007, background): “Figs therefore may also serve as critical food sources for tonkean macaques, particularly for groups living in disturbed habitats where fig species often thrive (Estrada et al., 1999; Fashing, 2001; Plumptre and Reynolds, 1994.”
• Activity and Ranging Patterns of Guerezas in the Kakamega Forest: Intergroup Variation and Implications for Intragroup Feeding Competition (2001, background): “Guereza population density is highest at Kakamega (150 individuals/km2: Fashing and Cords, 2000), intermediate at Kibale (100 individuals/km2: Oates, 1974), and lowest at Ituri (3 individuals/km2: Bocian, 1997).”
• Seasonal Food Use Strategies of Semnopithecus vetulus nestor, at Panadura and Piliyandala, Sri Lanka (2007, unknown): “…al. 2003), and also feed on reproductive plant parts such as whole fruits, seeds, and flowers, either yearround or during periods of high seasonal food availability (Bennett 1983; Dasilva 1994; Davies 1991; Fashing 2001; Hladik 1977; Kool 1993; Maisels et al. 1994; McKey et al. 1981; Yeager 1989).”
• Influence of Plant and Soil Chemistry on Food Selection, Ranging Patterns, and Biomass of Colobus guereza in Kakamega Forest, Kenya (2007, unknown): “1580 m) is characterized by an unusually high density and biomass of trees in the Moraceae family (Fashing, 1999, 2001b).”
