栖息地的异质性被广泛认为是重要的旧大陆猴子的进化，但建筑上不同的森林类型的非洲猴子的位置剧目的影响在很大程度上是未知的。作为一个更广泛的项目的一部分，本研究探讨了如何在结构不同的森林地区的同域性cercopithecids的运动行为的变化。1993年6月至1994年8月，在科特迪瓦的塔伊森林进行了实地考察。以疣猴Colobus badius、疣猴C. polykomos，C. verus、Cercopithecus diana和C. Campbelli分布在一个共同的森林马赛克。使用瞬时时间点方案以3 min时间间隔对成年雌性动物的行为进行采样。对所有物种使用的每个100 x 100 m网格单元内的营养差异进行了量化。此外，不同大小的基板在10米的间隔内的冠层的相对数量记录在每个单元采样。数据表明，在森林类型的运动行为的一致性保持，因为大多数猴子选择在两种森林类型的首选支持相同的设置。泰猴运动行为的保守性进行了讨论的背景下，额外的近端和最终的影响和约束。
Habitat heterogeneity is widely theorized to be important in the evolution of Old World monkeys, yet the impact of architecturally distinct forest types on the positional repertoires of African monkeys is largely unknown. As part of a wider project, this study investigates how the locomotor behavior of five sympatric cercopithecids varies in structurally distinct forest areas. Fieldwork took place in the Tai Forest, Ivory Coast, from June 1993 to August 1994. Data were collected on Colobus badius, C. polykomos, C. verus, Cercopithecus diana, and C. campbelli ranging throughout a common forest mosaic. The behavior of adult females was sampled using an instantaneous time point scheme at 3 min time intervals. Vegetative differences within each 100 x 100 m grid cell used by all species were quantified. Further, the relative numbers of different sized substrates at 10 m intervals within the canopy were recorded in each cell sampled. Data indicate that consistency of locomotor behavior across forest types is maintained because most monkeys select the same set of preferred supports in both forest types. The conservative nature of Tai monkey locomotor behavior is discussed within the context of additional proximate and ultimate influences and constraints.
