Study sheds light on the solitary life of male primates

Thursday, October 22, 2020

A new study on primate behaviour sheds light on a previously little-known life stage of male mantled howler monkeys, adding to our knowledge of lone male behavioural ecology.

“The findings help us understand more about a number of animal species whose males live solitary lives after sexual maturity,” says lead author of the study Laura Bolt, an adjunct assistant professor of Anthropology at the University of Waterloo.
