Ethiopia is home to one of the richest and most unique assemblages of fauna and flora on
the African continent. Contained within its borders are two major centers of endemism, the …

Recent evidence suggests that several extinct primates, including contemporaneous
Paranthropus boisei and Theropithecus oswaldi in East Africa, fed largely on grasses and …

Senescence patterns are highly variable across the animal kingdom. However, while
empirical evidence of actuarial senescence in vertebrates is accumulating in the wild and …

Abstract Background The gelada monkey (Theropithecus gelada), endemic to the Ethiopian

Understanding the basic natural history of threatened primate taxa is crucial to developing
and implementing successful conservation strategies for them. Data on feeding ecology and …

Predation is widely believed to exert strong selective pressure on primate behavior and
ecology but is difficult to study and rarely observed. In this study, we describe seven …

Human–primate interfaces are expanding and, despite recent studies on primates from peri-
urban environments, little research exists on the impact of agriculture and/or pasture areas …
