A census of primates in Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve, Costa Rica
Primates were censused in this reserve from January to March 1987, and in January and February 1988. The reserve was established in 1963, and at that time 3 sympatric species were reported: Alouatta palliata, Cebus capucinus and Ateles geffroyi. Eight Alouatta palliata groups and 14 solitary animals (totalling 119 individuals) and 3 Cebus capucinus groups and 8 solitary individuals (totalling 73 individuals) were counted. Age and sex composition of both species are described. No Ateles geffroyi wereobserved and it appears that this species is now extinct in Cabo Blanco.
