How do seasonal changes in the Roloway monkeys' habitat
affect their behavior?
The ecology of the West African rainforest is greatly affected by changes
in rainfall. The rainy season is considered
a time of plenty with many fruits and flowers available to
eat. During the dry season animals often have to roam farther looking
for food as it is not as readily available. We will be attempting to understand
how these seasonal changes affect the monkeys.
So
what?
How does answering the question, "How do seasonal changes in the
the Roloway monkeys' habitat affect their behavior?" help us create
a conservation plan that protects the monkeys and benefits the local people?
You can find out what data we collected and the tools we used to collect
the data by checking the daily data
page. Just like us though, you will need to analyze the data in order
to draw any conclusions.
