Hunting and trapping in Lebialem Division, Cameroon: bushmeat harvesting practices and human reliance. (2010, background): “When it becomes uneconomical to hunt or trap in a particular forest block, according to the patch departure model of optimal foraging theory, harvesters should move on to more profitable areas (Cowlishaw & Dunbar, 2000).”
Primate conservation: measuring and mitigating trade in primates (2011, background): “The trade in primates, be it as live individuals, as body parts or as meat has been invoked as a significant threat to their conservation (Cowlishaw & Dunbar 2000, Mittermeier et al. 2009).”
Conceptualization and Measurement of Habitat Fragmentation from the Primates’ Perspective (2009, background): “125,000 km(2) of forest annually (Chapman and Peres 2001), and that remnant populations are isolated in highly fragmented and low-quality habitats, which could lead to the extinction of populations and species in the coming decades (Cowlishaw 1999; Cowlishaw and Dunbar 2000).”
Rarity, specialization and extinction in primates (2002, background): “Cowlishaw & Dunbar (2000) concentrated on only geographic range and density.”
Nutritional goals of wild primates (2009, background): “Nevertheless, the view that a high energy intake equates with a high quality diet has influenced the work of numerous primate ecologists (Leighton 1993; Cowlishaw & Dunbar 2000; Lambert 2007; Strier 2007).”
Conservation Value of Landscape Supplementation for Howler Monkeys Living in Forest Patches (2009, background): “This situation is one of the principal risks to the survival of threatened populations (Cowlishaw & Dunbar 2000, Lindenmayer & Fischer 2006).”
Primate responses to anthropogenic habitat disturbance: A pantropical meta-analysis (2017, background): “Primates are often targeted by subsistence and commercial hunters (Cowlishaw and Dunbar, 2000) and hunting can amplify effects of habitat degradation (Remis and Robinson, 2012).”
Responses of animals to habitat alteration: an overview focussing on primates (2011, background): “…situation with bees (Williams et al. 2010), it has not been possible so far to identify specific life history traits of primates and environmental conditions that would permit us to predict the response of any given species to different forms of habitat change (Cowlishaw & Dunbar 2000, Marsh 2003).”
Ecological and socio-economic factors affecting extinction risk in parrots (2016, background): “Large body size correlates with many known extinction-promoting traits, including low population densities, slower life histories (Cardillo et al. 2005), and higher risk from hunters (Cowlishaw and Dunbar 2000).”
Survival, interactions with conspecifics and reproduction in 37 chimpanzees released into the wild (2005, background): “population concerned is under threat (Hannah and McGrew, 1991; Cowlishaw and Dunbar, 2000).”
Predicting extinction risk in declining species (2000, background): “One possibility is that this di¡erence simply re£ects a greater tendency for exploitation to be size dependent in primates (Cowlishaw & Dunbar 2000).”
Differences in Diet Between Spider Monkey Groups Living in Forest Fragments and Continuous Forest in Mexico (2012, background): “This situation has been demonstrated to be of particular concern in the case of tropical primates (Cowlishaw & Dunbar 2000, Marsh 2003, Arroyo‐Rodríguez & Dias 2009), including spider monkeys (Ateles spp.).”
Hunting or habitat degradation? Decline of primate populations in Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania: An analysis of threats (2012, methodology): “Primates have therefore been used as indicators for investigating vulnerability to threats, the most common ones being habitat disturbance and hunting (Johns and Skorupa, 1987; Marsh and Mittermeier, 1987; Johns and Johns, 1995; Cowlishaw and Dunbar, 2000; Harcourt and Doherty, 2005).”
Effects of forest fragmentation on the physiological stress response of black howler monkeys (2007, background): “This is particularly true for primates, which are highly vulnerable to forest fragmentation (Cowlishaw & Dunbar, 2000; Chapman & Peres, 2001).”
