Produktbeschreibung
The Niger Delta red colobus was discovered in 1993,
a testimony to the limited research conducted in
this ecosystem. Due to this lack of biological data
this book should provide a good foundation for
those interested in studying the Niger Delta s
environment. This study aims to investigate the
monkey s ecology, behavior, distribution and status.
During initial surveys it soon became clear that red
colobus had a limited distribution and that the
population was already under threat. In
order to support conservation efforts in the delta
the study s focus became to understand why the
monkey s distribution area was limited to the
central delta. An analysis of the red colobus
ecology and two sections of forest both within and
outside their distribution area was conducted to
determine what factors could determine habitat
availability. It was found that due to the large
size of the red colobus groups, and their
requirement to maintain cohesion, food species would
need to be distributed in patches. Outside the red
colobus distribution area food species were much
more evenly distributed and would have required
groups to split up over a large area.
