An ethogram of the social behavior of adult Alouatta palliata mexicana and A. pigra (click HERE to see the ethogram)
This ethogram was developed during studies of free-ranging individuals of the two howler monkey taxa that live in southern Mexico, the Mexican mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata mexicana) and the black howler monkeys (A. pigra). Our studies have been ongoing for the last 16 years at Los Tuxtlas (Veracruz) and Campeche.
This ethogram extends previous behavioral lists and ethograms of these species published by us (Dias 2002; Dias et al. 2009; Rangel-Negrín et al. 2012) and includes behavioral categories described in detail in the literature (Brockett et al. 2005; Dias et al. 2008).
If you are interested in extending this ethogram with your own data, please contact us (pdias@uv.mx).
