Ringkasan:
Menggunakan remote kamera penginderaan dan perekam suara,
para ilmuwan telah menangkap rekaman video langka populasi baru
ditemukannya monyet terancam punah di salah satu daerah yang
paling terpencil di dunia. Pertama kali ditemukan pada tahun 1932
dan diduga menghuni hanya satu lokasi di planet ini di Afrika Tengah,
monyet sukar dipahami ini diyakini hampir punah karena ukuran populasi
yang kecil dan perburuan.

Menggunakan remote kamera penginderaan dan perekam suara, peneliti dari
Florida Atlantic University adalah yang pertama untuk menangkap rekaman
ideo langka populasi baru ditemukannya monyet terancam punah di salah satu
daerah yang paling terpencil di dunia.
Mencakup hampir 2,2 juta acres, sekitar 50 kali lebih besar dari Washington,
DC, dan hampir seukuran Yellowstone National Park, taman nasional Lomami
di Republik Demokratik Kongo (DRC) di Afrika Tengah sekarang rumah bagi
populasi baru dari monyet Dryas . Awalnya diyakini menghuni hanya satu situs
di planet ini di lembah Kongo, hewan warna-warni dan memperdaya ini berukuran
sebesar kucing rumah.
tim lapangan dari Lukuru Foundation TL2 Project menemukan di dekat perbatasan
Lomami National Park ketika mereka melihat monyet mati dengan pemburu lokal.
kemudian dikonfirmasi sebagai monyet Dryas, dikenal secara lokal sebagai Inoko.
Pertama kali ditemukan pada tahun 1932 dan diyakini hampir punah karena
ukuran populasi yang kecil dan perburuan ,
spesies ini telah membingungkan para ilmuwan selama
beberapa dekade karena sifatnya yang sukar dipahami.

New population of critically endangered dryas monkeys
discovered
Dryas monkeys found in remote central Congo basin

Summary:
Using remote sensing cameras and sound recorders, scientists
have captured rare video footage of a newly discovered population of critically
endangered monkeys in one of the most remote regions in the world. First
discovered in 1932 and thought to inhabit only one location on the planet in
Central Africa, this elusive monkey was believed to be nearing extinction due
to its small population size and unregulated hunting.
.......................................
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still
make a sound? Not only does the tree make a sound, so do the creatures inhabiting
the forest -- or in this case -- the rainforest deep in the heart of Africa.
Using remote sensing cameras and sound recorders, researchers from Florida
Atlantic University are the first to capture rare video footage of a newly
discovered population of critically endangered monkeys in one of the most
remote regions in the world
Spanning nearly 2.2 million acres, about 50 times larger than Washington,
D.C., and almost the size of Yellowstone National Park, the Lomami National
Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Central Africa is now home to
a new population of the Dryas monkey. Originally believed to inhabit only one
site on the planet in the Congo basin, this colorful and beguiling animal is
about the size of a house cat.
Field teams from the Lukuru Foundation TL2 Project discovered it near the
border of the Lomami National Park when they noticed a dead monkey with a local
hunter. They later confirmed it to be a Dryas monkey, known locally as Inoko.
First discovered in 1932 and believed to be nearing extinction due to its small
population size and unregulated hunting, this species has perplexed scientists
for decades because of its elusive nature.
"The Dryas monkey is extremely cryptic and we had to think of a
creative strategy to observe them in the wild," said Kate Detwiler, Ph.D.,
a primatologist and an assistant professor of anthropology in FAU's Dorothy F.
Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, who has been collaborating with scientists
at the Lukuru Foundation for more than eight years. She also helped to discover
a new species, the Lesula monkey, in that same park in 2012. "Dryas
monkeys are drawn to dense thickets and flooded areas. When threatened, they
quickly disappear into a tangle of vines and foliage, mastering the art of
hiding."
Detwiler jumped at the opportunity to bring the dryas project to her lab
when her collaborator John Hart, Ph.D., scientific director of the Lukuru
Foundation, revealed the discovery. For years, the Lukuru Foundation's TL2
Project team members have been surveying the rainforests for the presence of
DRC's endemic and endangered species, and discovering diverse fauna including
the Dryas monkey. Their efforts were the impetus for the DRC to officially
establish the Lomami National Park within the Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba (TL2)
conservation landscape last July, and is the country's first national park in
more than two decades. FAU is the first university in the United States to
conduct primate field research in the Lomami National Park and greater TL2
Landscape.
Trying to capture the monkeys by video in the middle of the rainforest was
no easy feat and required unusual tactics. Detwiler reached out to then
24-year-old Daniel Alempijevic, now a master's degree candidate in FAU's
Environmental Sciences Program, to help accomplish the task. To get the job
done, Alempijevic had to learn how to climb trees -- really tall trees -- and
received a tree-climbing certificate from the Institute of Tropical Ecology and
Conservation in Bocas del Toro, Panama. He is the first person to conduct an
arboreal camera trap survey in the TL2 Landscape, and spent a semester there
climbing very remote rainforest trees to set up the cameras. The cameras are
placed in strategic locations on the ground, mid-range and in the canopy to
determine what level of the forest the Dryas monkeys prefer.
"This was an opportunity of a lifetime," said Alempijevic.
"It was an incredible experience to work in the canopy of such a remote
site, and to get the first camera-trap videos of an extremely rare and elusive
species."
Video footage from these camera traps are providing vital information about
this critically endangered species as well as an array of other charismatic
animals such as the bonobo, African palm civet, and potto who also inhabit the
Lomami National Park.
"The Congo Basin rainforest is the second-largest rainforest in the
world, and contains some of the least known species on the planet, many of
which are threatened from hunting pressure and deforestation," said
Detwiler. "Our goal is to document where new Dryas populations live and
develop effective methods to monitor population size over time to ensure their
protection. Understanding where they reside is important, because the animals
living inside the Lomami National Park are protected, as it is illegal to
hunt.
In addition to much needed conservation efforts, Detwiler and her team also
are working to solve the evolutionary puzzle of the Dryas monkey using genomic
research to test the hypothesis that this species is a close relative of the
Vervet monkey. Since 2014, the Detwiler laboratory has been studying a
free-living population of Vervet monkeys that have remarkably survived for
decades in a narrow strip of dense mangrove swamp next to the airport in Fort
Lauderdale. Alempijevic used this population to practice his camera trap
methods and hone in his observation skills before leaving for the Dryas field
study in the Congo forests.
