Social organization of the Milne-Edward's Potto

Article Abstract:

Latest information on one of the lesser studied prosimian primates, the potto, derived from fieldwork in Cameroon that employed radiotelemetry and behavioral observations were presented. An analysis of association patterns and home-range overlaps between animals revealed that pottos associated more frequently with conspecifics than expected for a supposedly solitary primate.

Ground-nesting by the chimpanzees of the Nimba Mountains, Guinea: Environmentally or socially determined?

Article Abstract:

The effects of environmental factors such as seasons, altitude, slope, nesting tree and terrestrial herbaceous vegetation (THV) availability are investigated for the occurrence and distribution of ground-nesting by chimpanzees of the Nimba Mountains, Guinea. The results have indicated that ground-nesting might be socially, rather than ecologically, determined.
