| dc.description.abstract | Objectives: With contemporary, human-induced climate change at a crisis point, extreme weather events (e.g., cyclones, heat waves, floods) are becoming more frequent, intense, and difficult to predict. These events can wreak rapid and significant changes on ecosystems; thus, it is imperative to understand how wildlife communities respond to these disruptions. Primates are perceived as being a largely adaptable order, but we often lack the quantitative data to rigorously assess how they are impacted by extreme environmental change. Leveraging detections from a long-term camera trap survey, this opportunistic study reports the effects of an extreme weather event on a little-studied population of free-ranging primates in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. Materials and Methods: We examined shifts in gray-footed chacma baboon (Papio ursinus griseipes) and vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) spatial distribution and relative abundance following Cyclone Idaiāa category four tropical cyclone that struck Mozambique in March 2019. Results: Baboon spatial distributions were impacted in the first month after the cyclone, with more detections in areas where flooding was less severe. Spatial distributions renormalized once floodwaters began to recede. We describe vervet monkey spa tial distribution trends, though sample size limitations inhibited statistical analysis. Primate relative abundance did not appear to substantially decrease following the cyclone, suggesting troops were able to adopt behavioral adjustments to evade rising floodwaters. Discussion: These findings highlight the behavioral flexibility of Gorongosa's primates and their ability to adapt to extremeāif temporaryādisruptions, with implications for primate conservation in the Anthropocene and research into how rapid climatic events may have shaped primate evolution. | eng |
| dc.description.abstract | Objetivos: Com as mudanƧas climĆ”ticas contemporĆ¢neas induzidas pelo ser humano em um ponto de crise, eventos climĆ”ticos extremos (por exemplo, ciclones, ondas de calor, inundaƧƵes) estĆ£o se tornando mais frequentes, intensos e difĆceis de prever. Esses eventos podem causar mudanƧas rĆ”pidas e significativas nos ecossistemas; portanto, Ć© crucial entender como as comunidades de vida selvagem respondem a essas perturbaƧƵes. Os primatas sĆ£o vistos como uma ordem amplamente adaptĆ”vel, mas frequentemente carecemos de dados quantitativos para avaliar rigorosamente seu impacto por mudanƧas ambientais extremas. Aproveitando detecƧƵes de um levantamento de armadilhas fotogrĆ”ficas de longo prazo, este estudo oportunista relata os efeitos de um evento climĆ”tico extremo sobre uma população pouco estudada de primatas de vida livre no Parque Nacional da Gorongosa, MoƧambique. Materiais e MĆ©todos Examinamos mudanƧas na distribuição espacial e na abundĆ¢ncia relativa de babuĆnos de pĆ©s cinzentos (Papio ursinus griseipes) e macacos vervet (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) após o Ciclone Idaiāum ciclone tropical de categoria quatro que atingiu MoƧambique em marƧo de 2019. Resultados As distribuiƧƵes espaciais dos babuĆnos foram afetadas no primeiro mĆŖs após o ciclone, com mais detecƧƵes em Ć”reas onde as inundaƧƵes foram menos severas. As distribuiƧƵes espaciais se normalizaram quando as Ć”guas das inundaƧƵes comeƧaram a recuar. Descrevemos as tendĆŖncias na distribuição espacial dos macacos verdes, embora limitaƧƵes no tamanho da amostra ten ham impedido anĆ”lises estatĆsticas. A abundĆ¢ncia relativa dos primatas nĆ£o pareceu diminuir substancialmente após o ciclone, sugerindo que os grupos foram capazes de adotar ajustes comportamentais para evitar as Ć”guas das inundaƧƵes em elevação. DiscussĆ£o Esses achados destacam a flexibilidade comportamental dos primatas de Gorongosa e sua capacidade de se adaptar a pertur baƧƵes extremasāembora temporĆ”riasācom implicaƧƵes para a conservação dos primatas no Antropoceno e para a pesquisa sobre como eventos climĆ”ticos rĆ”pidos podem ter moldado a evolução dos primatas. | por |
