Differential response of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys to climate change and human activities
<p><strong><span>Aim</span></strong><span>: Determining the mechanisms by which climate change and human activities affect patterns of ecological specialization in different genetic units of the same species is crucial for developing local or regionally-based conservation solutions. This study uses species distribution models and genetic analysis to 1) identify evidence of intraspecific differences in the population size and distribution of the three extant lineages (Sichuan/Gansu (SG), Qinling (QL), and Shennongjia (SNJ)) of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys; and 2) determine why some lineages have lower population numbers, a smaller geographical distribution, and are more threatened with extinction.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Location</strong>:</span><span> China</span></p> <p><span><strong>Methods</strong>:</span><span> We used n-dimensional hypervolume modeling and Genotype–Environment Association (GEA) models to compare the climatic niches of three snub-nosed monkey lineages, SDMs to reconstruct the historical, current, and future distributions of each lineage, and SMC++ to calculate their effective population sizes. </span></p> <p><span><strong>Results</strong>:</span><span> We found evidence of: 1) climatic niche differentiation among the SG, QL, and SNJ lineages of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys; 2) geographical isolation combined with a decrease in population size during the LGM resulted in ecological specialization among these three lineages; and 3) a decline in climatic suitability and anthropogenically-driven land conversion, combined with small population size and a narrow distributional range, indicate that the SNJ lineage is at a greater risk of extinction than the SG and QL lineages.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Main</strong> <strong>conclusions</strong>: </span><span>We demonstrate that during the LGM a reduction in habitat suitability</span> <span>driven by climate change, in concert with decreasing population size resulted in the geographical isolation of the three Sichuan snub-nosed monkey subpopulations, leading to lineage differences in ecological specialization</span><span>.</span> <span>GEA models and hypervolume models demonstrated that the three lineages occupy different ecological niches. Based on lineage-level models, the SNJ and QL lineages should be the immediate focus of conservation efforts due to their </span><span>small effective population size and expected future reductions in available suitable habitat</span><span>. The modeling approach used here</span> <span>is robust and can be applied effectively to examine the biogeography, recent evolutionary history, and effective population size of other endangered animal taxa.</span></p>

Post-conflict Behaviors of Wild Gelada Monkeys (Theropithecus gelada) at Guassa, Ethiopia
<p>Post-conflict behaviors are a crucial component of primate sociality, yet are difficult to study in the wild. We evaluated the presence and timing of reconciliation, victim-solicited and unsolicited third-party affiliation, and secondary and redirected aggression following observed agonistic interactions among 38 wild gelada monkeys (<em>Theropithecus gelada</em>) in eight one-male, multi-female units at Guassa, Ethiopia, from April to August 2018. We also report background rates of aggression and patterns of agonistic interactions and post-conflict behaviours among wild geladas relative to possible mediating factors for each conflict, including social rank disparity, kinship type, sex, age class, conflict intensity, and conflict decidedness. Across 55 post-conflict and 55 subsequent matched-control focal follows, we found no evidence for post-conflict reconciliation, third-party affiliation, secondary aggression, or redirected aggression. These findings contrast with previous studies of captive geladas, which find that individuals often reconcile after fights and frequently exhibit unsolicited third-party affiliation when reconciliation does not occur. Our results from wild geladas point to possible populational differences in behavioral tendencies arising from variable space, time, social grouping, and/or food availability constraints. Our findings also reveal potential limitations in applying identical data collection protocols across environmental contexts and underscore the importance of creating generalizable cross-context metrics to better understand, and contextualize, the diversity of post-conflict behavioral mechanisms underpinning primate sociality in geladas and other group-living primates</p>

Dataset from The effect of visitors on stress-related behaviour of zoo-housed red-faced spider monkeys (Ateles Paniscus) compared in the inside and outside compartment of the enclosure
<p>Animals held in captivity often endure more stress than wild congeners do, which might be harmful for their health and wellbeing. This stress is often expressed by showing stereotypic behaviour. Previous studies showed that visitors can have a negative impact on the stress levels of zoo-housed animals, referred to by the term ‘visitor effect’. The visitor effect is found to be strong in arboreal primate species, such as spider monkeys.</p> <p>The current study examined the effect of visitors on the stress-related behaviour of red-faced spider monkeys (<em>Ateles Paniscus</em>) housed at ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo. Two visitor variables were assessed; number of visitors and sound volume. Additionally, this study examined whether there was a difference in visitor effect in the inside and outside compartment of the enclosure since these exhibits differ strongly in design.</p> <p>Behavioural observations were conducted for 3 weeks daily, during which all behaviour displayed by the spider monkeys was noted, along with the number of visitors present, the level of sound (in decibel) and the location of observation.</p> <p>This study demonstrated that an increase in average level of decibel led to an increase in stereotypic behaviour. Additionally, spider monkeys were found to display more stereotypic behaviour in the outside compartment of their enclosure. However, this study did not find the number of visitors to have an influence on the stress-related behaviour. These results suggest that visitor noise can have a negative effect on the stress levels of red-faced spider monkeys and that this effect is dependent on the exhibit design.</p> <p>This study hopefully provides more insight into the visitor effect by assessing the influence of two important visitor variables. These insights might improve future designs of zoo enclosures, thus enhancing animal welfare. However, future research is needed to further assess the cause of stress in zoo-housed animals. </p>

Data from: Evolution: are the monkeys' typewriters rigged?
Evolution is presumed to proceed by random mutations, which increase an individual's fitness. Increased fitness produces a higher survival rate for those individuals within populations and drives the variants to fixation over large timescales to produce new species. We recently identified positively selected sites in mitochondrial complex I in numerous, diverse taxa. In one taxon, a simple sequence repeat (SSR) encompassed the positively selected sites. We hypothesized a model in which: (i) slip-strand mis-pairing during replication due to the SSR increases the mutation rate at these sites, and (ii) a functional constraint at the protein level maintains the SSR and therefore a higher mutation rate at this site over large time scales to drive evolution. We tested this model by identifying SSRs in a mitochondrial-encoded protein in species from our previous work and determined that nearly all of the positively selected sites encompass an SSR. Furthermore, we show that our proposed model accounts for most of the mutations at neutral sites but it is probably the predominant mechanism at positively selected sites. This suggests that evolution does not proceed by simple random processes but is guided by physical properties of the DNA itself and functional constraint of the proteins encoded by the DNA.
Data from Schmitt et al. 2021: Preattentive processing of visually guided self-motion in humans and monkeys. Progress in Neurobiology
<p><strong>Dataset associated with the following publication:</strong></p> <p>Constanze Schmitt, Jakob C.B. Schwenk, Adrian Schütz, Jan Churan, André Kaminiarz, Frank Bremmer.<br> Preattentive processing of visually guided self-motion in humans and monkeys. Progress in Neurobiology,<br> 2021,102117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pneurobio.2021.102117. Published 2021 July 2.</p> <p><strong>Description of dataset:</strong></p> <p>In our study we presented an optic flow stimulus simulating forward self-motion across a ground plane in an oddball EEG paradigm to 12 human participants and 2 macaque monkeys. We simulated two different headings (forward-left vs. forward-right) presented either as standard or deviant trials and tested for the occurrence of a visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) by comparing the visual-evoked potentials (VEPs). </p> <p>Human data:</p> <p>The dataset contains the preprocessed VEPs of all 12 human participants already averaged over all trials per participant. It contains data from all electrodes used for analysis (P1, P2, O1, O2, PO3, PO4, CP1, CP2) divided into data recordings in standard ('_std') or deviant ('_odd') trials. Each of these files consists of four subfiles representing the presented combinations of heading (forward to the right: '_r' or forward to the left: '_l') and attention condition (attention towards fixation target: 'fix' or attention towards the ground plane: 'plane'). The data matrices in these subfiles are sorted as [participants x time-points].</p> <p>Monkey data:</p> <p>Each .mat file contains the preprocessed VEPs from one monkey ('data'), the corresponding electrode labels ('elec') and the common time vector in seconds ('time'). The data struct contains VEPs for left- and rightwards heading in separate subfields, which again contain standard ('stan') and deviant ('odd') presentations of that heading. Within each subcondition, the actual data matrices are sorted as [electrodes x time-points x trials]. Here, the numbering of electrodes corresponds to the electrode labels contained in the 'elec' variable.</p>
Cognitive maps in the wild: Revealing the use of metric information in black howler monkeys' route navigation
<p>When navigating, wild animals rely on internal representations of the external world to take movement decisions – called "cognitive maps". As a rule, flexible navigation is hypothesized to be supported by sophisticated spatial skills (i.e., Euclidean cognitive maps); however, constrained movements along habitual routes is the most commonly reported navigation strategy. Even though incorporating metric information (i.e., distances and angles between locations) in route-based cognitive maps would likely enhance an animal's navigation efficiency, there has been no evidence of this strategy reported for non-human animals to date. Here, we examine the properties of the cognitive map used by a wild population of primates by testing a series of cognitive hypotheses against spatially-explicit movement simulations. We collected 3104 hours of ranging and behavioural data on five groups of black howler monkeys (<i>Alouatta pigra</i>) at Palenque National Park, Mexico, from September 2016 through August 2017. We simulated correlated-random walks mimicking the ranging behaviour of the study subjects and tested for differences between observed and simulated movement patterns. Our results indicated that black howler monkeys engaged in constrained movement patterns characterized by a high path recursion tendency, which limited their capacity to travel in straight lines and approach feeding trees from multiple directions. In addition, we found that the structure of observed route networks was more complex and efficient than simulated route networks, suggesting that black howler monkeys incorporate metric information into their cognitive map. Our findings not only expand the use of metric information during route navigation to non-human animals but also highlight the importance of considering efficient route-based navigation as a cognitively demanding mechanism.</p>
The role of howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya) in the primary succession of the Paraná flooded forest (Argentina)
<p>In disturbed forests, Atelidae primates, such as howler monkeys, are known to play a key role in the dynamics of secondary succession. However, little is known about their role in primary succession. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of the howler monkey <i>Alouatta caraya</i> in the primary succession dynamics of the Paraná flooded forest, in northeastern Argentina. This was achieved by studying the recruitment of saplings in the latrines of <i>A. caraya</i> groups inhabiting the forest in the first stages of succession and the distribution of plant species in relation to the age of the forest. The results showed that: (a) young forest areas were dominated by tree species dispersed by water, wind, birds, bats and fishes, whereas older forest areas were dominated by species dispersed by <i>A. caraya</i>,<i> </i>with individuals of some species present in young forests; (b) the floristic composition of saplings growing in <i>A. caraya</i> latrines of young forest areas was similar to that of old forest areas; and (c) saplings growing in young forest areas were heavily associated with <i>A. caraya</i> latrines and corresponded to species from older forest areas. The results allow the conclusion that <i>A. caraya</i> plays a role in the last phase of primary succession of the Paraná flooded forest, as well as in contributing to an increase in the structural complexity and species diversity in the young areas of the Paraná islands.</p>
