Predation

Socioecology & Predation

ground vs canopy environments (difference predation pressures)

Primary predation threats to primates?

felids, snakes, raptors, primate-on-primate predation

predation threats - felids

lions, tigers, leopards (leopards have preferences based on local conditions)

predation threats - felids, monkey counter strategy

leopards usually abandon monkey hunts when detected

predation threats - snakes

reticulated pythons in Singamore

predation threats - defense against snakes

mobbing in capuchins (cebus capucinus)

predation threats - raptors

harpy eagle (harpia harpyja), african crowned eagle (stephanoaetus coronatus)

predation threats - primate on primate

tool mediated predation

predation threats - primate on primate example

chimps (pan troglodytes) as pursuit hunters

Tai Forest prey

red colobus (piliocolobus badius) - 65% predation rate, diana monkey (cercopithecus diana) - 49% predation rate
