TL;DR: The results suggest that the particular ecological setting greatly influences the nature of the interaction between species, through its effect on population structure, dietary overlap, food distribution, and community composition.
Abstract: Sympatric guenons in East Africa associate with one another in mixed-species groups to an intermediate degree. This makes it possible to compare a given group's ecology and behavior when it is part of an association to when it is unaccompanied, and to correlate association tendency with various ecological parameters. Two studies incorporating these approaches have been made of sympatric Cercopithecus ascanius and C. mitis monkeys in the Kakamega Forest, Kenya, and the Kibale Forest, Uganda. The pattern of and reasons for association in each site are reviewed. Compared to Kakamega, association between C. ascanius and C. mitis in Kibale occurs less often, and the species appear to benefit relative to one another in different ways. These results suggest that the particular ecological setting greatly influences the nature of the interaction between species, through its effect on population structure, dietary overlap, food distribution, and community composition. The major ecological differences between the two study areas probably reflect post-Pleistocene history and possibly climate, but they have important consequences for the present-day population structure and feeding ecology of each species, and hence affect relations between them as well.

TL;DR: Prevalence of protozoan parasites was documented and the effect of season and host sex on infection prevalence was examined and seasonal patterns of infection were not readily apparent for any parasite species infecting redtail guenons.
Abstract: From January 1998 to December 2002, we collected 293 fecal samples from free-ranging individuals of the 4 guenon species of western Uganda, i.e., redtail guenons (Cercopithecus ascanius), blue monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis), l'hoesti monkeys (Cercopithecus lhoesti), and vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), to quantify the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites. Helminth eggs, larvae, and protozoan cysts were isolated by sodium nitrate flotation and fecal sedimentation. Helminth parasites were identified, and infection prevalence was determined for all 4 guenon species. Coprocultures facilitated identification of strongylate nematodes. For the most common species, the redtail guenon, we documented prevalence of protozoan parasites and examined the effect of season and host sex on infection prevalence. Six nematodes (Strongyloides fulleborni, Oesophagostomum sp., unidentified strongyle, Trichuris sp., Streptopharagus sp., and Enterobius sp.), 1 cestode (Bertiella sp.), 1 trematode (Dicrocoeliidae), and...
