Abstract
The characteristics of mixed-species groups and interspecific interactions involving the mangabey, Cercocebus albigena, are described. Polyspecific associations are common and behaviorally complex. In Uganda, ecological data suggest that associations with some species are related to foraging, although evidence that these associations benefit the individuals involved remains equivocal. West African data indicate considerable geographic variability in polyspecific association tendencies.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
