• Hunting or habitat degradation? Decline of primate populations in Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania: An analysis of threats (2012, background): “…densities due to hunting is widely documented (e.g. Robinson and Bennett, 2000; Waltert et al., 2002; Fa et al., 2002; Peres and Nascimento, 2006), with cases of decline to local extinction, as exemplified by the plight of Miss Waldron’s red colobus (Oates et al., 2000; McGraw and Oates, 2002).”
• The taxonomic diversity of the Colobinae of Africa (2007, background): “Separation at species level is almost certainly warranted, but detailed investigation is no longer possible since waldronae is probably extinct (Oates et al., 2000) or nearly so (McGraw, 2005).”
• Recognizing the Multiple Reasons for Bushmeat Consumption in Urban Areas: A Necessary Step Toward the Sustainable Use of Wildlife for Food in Central Africa (2011, background): “The recent extinction of MissWaldron's red colobus ( Procolobus badius waldroni) , a primate subspecies endemic to West Africa, was attributed to bushmeat hunting ( Oates, Abedi-Lartey, McGraw, Struhsaker, & Whitesides, 2000 ).”
• Conservation and Survival Adaptations of Temminck’s Red Colobus (Procolobus badius temmincki), in Senegal (2005, background): “The third subspecies, Miss Waldron’s red colobus, is the one recently declared extinct by Oates et al. (2000).”
• What hope for African primate diversity (2006, background): “Hunting, exacerbated by the opening up of forest areas although logging and the growth of local human populations, has been identified as the primary cause in the near extinction of Miss Waldron’s red colobus (Procolobus badius waldroni) in West Africa (Oates et al., 2000), of which only a few remna”
• Hunting and trapping in Lebialem Division, Cameroon: bushmeat harvesting practices and human reliance. (2010, background): “Studies have found primates to be absent from, or at very low densities in, heavily hunted areas (Oates et al. 2000, Peres 2000, Maisels et al. 2001, Isaac & Cowlishaw 2004).”
• Evidence for post-depletion sustainability in a mature bushmeat market (2005, result): “Our results also highlight the emerging biodiversity crisis in West Africa, where overhunting has led to the possible extinction of Miss Waldron’s red colobus monkey Procolobus badius waldroni (Oates et al. 2000; McGraw & Oates 2002) and widespread local extinctions among large mammals in Ghana’s na”
