- Abstract
The article presents a study on the association of environmental variations to the possible decline of primate species in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Methods involved in the study include the measurement of group density and habitat structure variations on each species while food quality evaluation was performed for a single species. Results show a decrease in food access for colobus group while blue monkeys and mangabeys have no significant variations of food access in lightly logged forest.
