Exploring immature-to-mother social distances in Mexican mantled howler monkeys at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico

Article Abstract:

The immature-to-mother social distance in two Mexican mantled howler monkey troops inhabiting a tropical rainforest fragment at Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico is analyzed applying instantaneous sampling method to record the behavior and distances between the immatures and their mothers, and between immatures and non mother individuals. Findings suggest that in this low-activity species, the development of the immature is associated with a complex set of relationships with other troop members.

Diet and activity pattern of howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico: effects of habitat fragmentation and implications for conservation

Article Abstract:

The cross-study is conducted on mantled howlers (Alouatta palliata) in forest fragments in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, in order to analyze the diet and activity pattern, the similarity in the diet and relate both fragment size and howler population density with different characteristics of their diet, home range size and activity pattern. The results have highlighted the importance of conserving the larger fragments and increasing the size of small and medium-sized ones.

Landscape attributes affecting patch occupancy by howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata mexicana) at Los Tuxtlas, Mexico

Article Abstract:

A study of patch occupancy by Mexican howler monkeys showed greater occupancy in landscapes with more forest cover. The patch configuration also should be considered in the conservation strategies for these monkeys.
