Studies of free-ranging and corralled patas monkeys at La Parguera, Puerto Rico
Abstract
Patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) were maintained and studied at the La Parguera primate colony between 1971 and 1982. This paper describes the founding of the patas population, its growth, and its eventual termination. The behavioral and biological studies conducted on the La Parguera patas monkeys are also described.
