Effect of habitat quality on diet flexibility in Barbary macaques

Abstract: Barbary macaques live in extreme temperate environments characterized by strongly seasonal resource availability. They are mainly terrestrial while foraging, harvesting food from the herbaceous layer. These monkeys are threatened mainly because of anthropogenic habitat degradation. We studied the adaptive capacities of wild groups of Barbary macaques that lived in different cedar forests undergoing varying extents of grazing pressure from domestic livestock. In all three sites, diet varied seasonally. Heavy gr… Show more

“…Dietary studies of M. fascicularis, M. fuscata, and M. sylvanus are more common in the literature than are such studies for M. nemestrina, M. mulatta, and M. arctoides (Suzuki, 1965;Clutton-Brock and Harvey, 1977;Rodman, 1978;Ojha, 1980;Wheatley, 1980;Khan and Wahab, 1983;Goldstein, 1984;M enard, 1985;Caldecott, 1986aCaldecott, , 1986bM enard and Vallet, 1986;Aggimarangsee, 1992;Ungar, 1992;Ahsan, 1994;Agetsuma, 1995;Yeager, 1996;Hill, 1997;Agetsuma and Nakagawa, 1998;M enard and Qarro, 1999;Hanya, 2003Hanya, , 2004Tsuji and Takatsuki, 2004;Tsuji et al, 2006;Richter et al, 2013;M enard et al, 2014). For M. arctoides we could locate only one short-term survey of provisioned groups near human habitations (Aggimarangsee, 1992).…”

“…In contrast, macaques in tropical rainforest habitats (Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Borneo) such as M. nemestrina and M. fascicularis may consume fruit year-round. Identification of species-typical macaque diets has been complicated by extensive environmental variation, as well as anthropogenic influences on geography and ecology (e.g., Fooden, 1971;Rodman, 1978;Aldrich-Blake, 1980;Fooden, 1982;Goldstein, 1984;Caldecott, 1986a,b;Richard et al, 1989;Chapman and Chapman, 1990;Fooden, 1990;M enard, 2004;Hanya et al, 2011;M enard et al, 2014). Macaques are characterized by a remarkable degree of adaptability among primates, as evidenced by their widespread geographic variation and diverse habitat use, eclipsed only by that of living and fossil Homo.…”

“…Contrairement à la plupart des singes de l'Ancien Monde, les singes magots mâles apportent fréquemment des soins parentaux aux nourrissons peu après leur naissance (Paul et al, 1996) et ils passent une partie importante du temps avec eux (Fa, 1984c (Ménard, 1985 ;Ménard et Vallet, 1986 ;Ménard et al, 2013Ménard et al, , 2014b. Dans certains habitats relictuels comme le Parc national de Gouraya, cette proportion descend à 14-26 % (Maibeche et al, 2015) tandis qu'elle atteint presque 100 % pour les singes vivant sur les sommets rocheux (Ménard et Vallet, 1986), ce qui souligne les remarquables capacités d'adaptation de l'espèce.…”

“…L'exploitation des ressources par les singes peut varier pour un même type d'habitat en fonction de la pression humaine (Majolo et al, 2013b ;Ménard et al, 2014b ;Waterman, 2016). Dans les cédraies du Moyen Atlas au Maroc, où le surpâturage par les moutons est important, les singes consomment davantage les produits du cèdre qu'en Algérie, notamment les fleurs mâles, les graines et l'écorce des cèdres.…”
