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, methodology): “Our vegetation enumeration methods placed greater emphasis on quantification of smaller plants than many previous studies of forest primate habitats, which have most often focused solely on stems ≥10 cm DBH irrespective of height.”
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).”
Seasonal Variation in the Activity Patterns and Time Budgets of Trachypithecus francoisi in the Nonggang Nature Reserve, China (2007, background): “Researchers have reported the phenomenon among other primates, which they considered a thermoregulatory strategy in response to low ambient temperature (Fashing 2001; Huang et al. 2003; Oates 1977).”
Sleeping Cave Selection, Activity Pattern and Time Budget of White-Headed Langurs (2003, background): “Variation in time budget is strongly correlated with the physical characteristics of primates and environmental conditions (Di Fiore and Rodman, 2001; Fashing, 2001; Goodall, 1986; Harrison,”
Ranging behavior of the mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: a test of the ecological constraints model (2005, background): “Many studies of folivorous primates have found no relationship between group size and DTD (Struhsaker and Leland 1987; Yeager and Kool 2000; Fashing 2001; Arrowood et al. 2003; Dias and Strier 2003).”
Feeding Ecology of Guerezas in the Kakamega Forest, Kenya: The Importance of Moraceae Fruit in Their Diet (2001, unknown): “My dietary study included two habituated study groups, T and O, which occupied adjacent ranges with an average of 20.3% overlap (Fashing, 2001).”
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).”
Activity and Ranging Patterns of Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii in Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda: Possible Costs of Large Group Size (2007, background): “…that social factors such as infanticide risk may limit group size for some populations (Chapman and Pavelka, 2005; Crockett and Janson, 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik, 2001), while food competition may limit group size for others (Fashing, 2001; Gillespie and Chapman, 2001; Teichroeb et al., 2003).”
