Ranging Behavior and Spatial Cognition of Howler Monkeys

Abstract: Since the fi rst long-term fi eld study of mantled howler monkeys carried out by Clarence R. Carpenter on Barro Colorado Island about 80 years ago, howler movement patterns and range use have been studied in several species and study sites throughout Mexico, Central, and South America. Howler monkeys often use small home ranges (<30 ha) and travel short distances each day (<1,000 m) compared with other atelines. Home range size, day range length, and patterns of use of space may vary both within-and between-sp… Show more

“…A review of howler monkey ranging behavior (Fortes et al, ) shows that they live in habitats varying between <1‐ha forest fragments and orchards to vast pristine forests, where their home ranges vary from 0.7 to 182 ha (median = 10 ha; mean = 19 ± SD 27 ha; N = 85 groups). Except for habitat patches smaller than the normal home range used by groups in large forest fragments or continuous forests, fragment size does not predict home range size (but see Cristóbal‐Azkarate & Arroyo‐Rodríguez, ), whereas population density has a negative influence on it (see also Cristóbal‐Azkarate & Arroyo‐Rodríguez, ).…”

Irrespective of home range size, day ranges are quite conservative (median = 494 m; mean = 506 ± SD 190 ha; N = 85 groups) and cannot be predicted by fragment size (Fortes et al, ). Despite such conservatism, similar to home range, day range is also negatively affected by population density, as it is by the contribution of fruits and leaves to the diet.…”

“…Muestran gran variabilidad en el porcentaje de los ítems consumidos dependiendo de las condiciones ambientales lo que se refleja en una proporción de la ingesta de hoja nuevas, hojas maduras, flores, frutos maduros y frutos inmaduros consumidos mensualmente (Eisenberg et al 1972, Crockett 1998, Fernández 2014, Dias y Rangel-Negrín 2015, Zunino et al 2017. El porcentaje de frutos (maduros e inmaduros), hojas (viejas o nuevas) y flores consumidas en el año varia para cada especie y para cada región en la que habitan (Garber et al 2015). Los monos aulladores exhiben estrategias de forrajeo basadas en maximizar la mejor "mezcla de macronutrientes" sin demostrar preferencia por algún alimento en especial (Fernández 2014).…”

“…El tamaño del área de acción o home range está relacionado inversamente con la densidad poblacional, por lo general cuando la densidad de grupos de aulladores de la misma especie es alta, el tamaño del área de acción es pequeño (Barbisan-Fortes et al 2015). El tamaño del área de acción debe garantizar los recursos para cubrir los requerimientos nutricionales de los grupos para permitir su supervivencia (Barbisan-Fortes et al 2015). Los aulladores presentan un uso diferencial de las áreas que componen su área de acción, siendo alguna de ellas utilizadas más frecuentemente que lo esperado.…”
