Determinants of daily path length in black and gold howler monkeys [Alouatta caraya] in Northeastern Argentina
Models used to explain the social organization of primates suggest that variation in daily path length [DPL] is a response to variation in resource distribution and the intensity of intragroup feeding competition. However, daily path length may be affected by a number of other factors including the...

| 520 | |a Models used to explain the social organization of primates suggest that variation in daily path length [DPL] is a response to variation in resource distribution and the intensity of intragroup feeding competition. However, daily path length may be affected by a number of other factors including the availability and distribution of nutritionally complementary food items, temperature which can influence activity budget, patterns of subgrouping, and the frequency and function of intergroup encounters. In this 6-month study [total 495 hr of quantitative data], we examined daily path lengths in two neighboring groups of black and gold howler monkeys [Alouatta caraya] inhabiting a semi-deciduous gallery forest in San Cayetano [27grades 300S, 58 grades 410W], in the northwest province of Corrientes, Argentina.Both study groups were of similar size and composition. We identified relationships across groups between time spent feeding on fruits, leaves, and flowers, the number of trees visited, group spread, frequency of intergroup encounters, mean daily temperature, andDPL. Our results suggest that variation in food availability had a significant impact on howler ranging behavior by increasing DPL under conditions of high immature and mature fruit availability, and by decreasing DPL with increased availability and increased time invested in feeding on mature leaves. These results do not support the contention that a reduction in food availability or an increase in within-group feeding competition increased DPL in black and gold howler monkeys. DPL in black and gold howlers is influenced by several interrelated factors. In this regard we suggest that models of socio-ecology and ecological constraints need to reconsider how factors such as individual nutritional requirements, social tolerance and group cohesion, and the spatial and temporal availability of preferred and nearby food resources influence primate ranging behavior. | ||
