“…However, the difficulties of field observations, and the lack of a truly longitudinal study tracing the life histories of recognized individuals, mean that these initial descriptions of the complex fission-fusion pattern of social living have not yet been followed by detailed information on such basic social features as the mating and emigration patterns, the kinship structure, and the nature of the relationship between the adult males and females of a social group. This study investigates sex differences in behavioral patterns of adult Ateles geoffroyi in order to derive further understanding of several such aspects of spider monkey social organization, Two earlier studies of subgroup composition in Ateles belzebuth in Colombia demonstrated that adult males tend to associate more with each other, while females associate more with their dependent young (KLEIN, 1972;IZAWA, KIMURA & NIETO, 1979). Our own observations of subgroup composition in Ateles geoffroyi in Guatemala confirms these association patterns (in prep.).…”

“…Several aspects of the social system of spider monkeys remain poorly understood in spite of previous field and laboratory studies of their social behavior (CARPENTER, 1935;KLEIN, 1971KLEIN, , 1972KLEIN, , 1974KLEIN & KLEIN, 1971, 1973EISENBERG & KUErIN, 1966;EISEN-BERG, 1976;RlcrtgRo, 1970;CANT, 1976CANT, , 1978COELnO et al, 1976COELnO et al, , 1977IZAWA, KIMURA NIETO, 1979;RONDINELLI & KLEIN, 1976). KLEIN and CARPENTER described spider monkeys as living in large territorial, multi-male, multi-female social groups which fission for travel into small unstable subgroups of around three to four individuals.…”

“…Para determinar el número de individuos de Alouatta y Ateles se hicieron recorridos dentro y alrededor de los fragmentos; cada recorrido comenzó a las 6:00 y terminó a las 16:00 h. El tiempo de búsqueda en cada fragmento dependió del tamaño del mismo, invirtiendo hasta 4 recorridos en los fragmentos más grandes. Durante los recorridos se registró: posición geográfica de los grupos de primates encontrados, especie, número de individuos por grupo, sexo y edad (Izawa et al, 1979). Los parámetros demográficos que se analizaron fueron: población total, tamaño promedio grupal, densidad ecológica y proporciones macho adultohembra adulta y hembra adulta-inmaduro.…”

“…Consideramos como "grupo" a aquellos individuos observados en conjunto en cada encuentro; nuestras observaciones sugieren que todos los "grupos" probablemente pertenecían a una sola unidad social. En ese sentido, nuestros "grupos" no representan unidades sociales independientes y corresponderían a los subgrupos de otros estudios de estructura social de Ateles (Izawa et al, 1979;Chapman, 1990;Wallace, 1998;Mendez, 1999).…”
