Topic: Gabon Talapoin


  
  Miopithecus
Talapoins are the two species of Old World monkeys classified in genus Miopiothecus.
Talapoins are diurnal and arboreal, preferrin rain forest or mangroves near water.
Talapoins are omnivores, their diet consisting mainly of fruits, seeds, aquatic plants, insects, shellfish, bird eggs and small vertebrates.

 PRIMATES
The Northern talapoin (north of the Zaire River) and the Southern talapoin (south of the Zaire River) are currently regarded as distinct species (Oates, 1996).
Although the ecology of the talapoin monkey has been widely studied, most of the authors have focused on behavioural aspects of its ecology, and no specific studies on habitat requirements and preferences have been conducted.
2.3.30.a, the Southern talapoin occurs south of the Zaire River in Angola and northwest former Zaire (namely along the Mebridge, Loge, Cuanza, Nhia, Cuvo and Cuango rivers), while Northern talapoin inhabits the basin of the Ogooué River and some Zaire tributaries such as the Sangha, Alima, Lefini between Cabinda and the Nyong River (Kingdon, 1997).

The distribution of the two types of SIVmnd is geographically separated by the Ogooué river in Gabon, SIVmnd-1 viruses were exclusively identified in mandrills from central and southern Gabon, and SIVmnd-2 in monkeys from northern and western Gabon and in Cameroon (91, 93).
The geographic distribution of SIVmnd-1 and SIVmnd-2 in mandrills is separated by the Ogooué River in Gabon.
Partial pol sequences are described for SIVtal from the 2 different talapoin species, Miopithecus ogouensis from Cameroon and Miopithecus talapoin from a zoo animal (69, 71).

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Central African mangroves (AT1401)
The structure of the mangrove areas varies considerably, from the lagoon systems found in the western part of this ecoregion to systems modified by complex patterns of sediment deposition at river mouths in the central and southern portions.
Smaller areas of habitat are also found in Ghana, in the Conkouati lagoons of Congo, at the mouth of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in Angola.
Impacts from petroleum exploitation include coastal subsidence that may aggravate the effects of sea-level rise, as well as infrastructure development and oil spills that have led to large mortalities of invertebrates and fishes.

 AEGiS-11CROI: Full Molecular Characterization of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Infecting Talapoins Monkeys: Evidence ...
Phylogenetic tree analyses of pol sequences showed that all viruses from talapoins monkeys cluster together forming a monophyletic species-specific SIVtal lineage and thus indicating that these monkeys are the natural hosts for SIVtal.
CONCLUSIONS: The geographic range of the gabon talapoin (Miopithecus oguensis) is from the Cameroon, south of the River Sanaga, and Rio Muni, Gabon.
Although talapoin monkeys belong to the Miopithecus genus while Syke's, greater spot-nosed, mustached and mona monkeys are from Cercopithecus species, these data suggest that SIVtal, SIVsyk, and SIVgsn/mon/mus evolved from a common ancestor.

 Submergence Convergence: The Aquatic Ape September 1998 Dr Michael Magee's Dinosaur Heritage Pages.
The talapoin monkey of Gabon is one of the few primates to have taken to water and it has a large brain:body ratio.
The forest apes trapped on the island had to adapt to the water, if they had not already done so, because of the scarcity of terrestrial resources and to escape from predators which were better able to cope in the less dense bush of the thinning forests.
Present day talapoin monkeys have a strategy of dropping out of the trees into water at any sign of danger.

An abundant rainfall and flat terrain have produced large areas of swampy ground: Raphia palm forests, Cyperaceae swamps and seasonally flooded riverine forests dominated by Uapaca.
They are home to otters, water chevrotains, sitatungas and talapoin monkeys.
Between the meanders of this dense network of watercourses grows terra firma forest from which emerge, here and there, grass covered rocky outcrops rising above the surrounding canopy and providing a sunny microenvironment for several animal species including the buffalo.

The single sequence of SIVmon was given lineage status because of its high degree of genetic diversity from the other SIV strains.
We maintained the lineage designation of SIVtal previously assigned to a virus thought to be derived from a zoo animal of the species M. talapoin (28) because that sequence and the two newly derived talapoin viruses from M. ogouensis cluster together in a phylogenetic tree derived from additional pol nucleotide sequences (not shown).
Finally, we confirmed the SIVtal infection of wild talapoin monkeys (Miopithecus ogouensis).

Gabon's president, Omar Bongo, announced his government's decision to create a new national park system protecting some of the most critically important rain forest habitats in central Africa's Congo basin.
Gabon's rain forests shelter large populations of central Africa's distinctive wildlife, including endangered species such as gorillas, chimpanzees and forest elephants.

More recently, a number of potential recombinant lineages have been also described highlighting the increasing complexity of phylogenetic relationships among primate lentiviruses.
Phylogenetic tree analyses of pol sequences showed that all viruses from talapoins monkeys cluster together forming a monophyletic species-specific SIV
Using a neighbor-joining method, the clustering of these 3 lineages was significant in Gag and Pol trees as well as in the Env tree when excluding the SIVcpz lineage which has been recently shown to be recombinant between SIV

 W. H. Calvin's The River That Flows Uphill (Day 9)
Besides the extinct Oreopithecus, there are such present-day examples as the talapoin in the rivers of Gabon, the proboscis monkey of the mangrove swamps of Borneo, which sometimes swims well out to sea for unknown reasons, and the crab-eating macaque of the Philippines.
The river-swimming monkey of the Gabon, the talapoin, has a significantly larger brain than an average Old World monkey of the same body size.
With few fossil ape braincases from the period of 4 to 16 million years ago, we have no idea of when the hominid brain size started increasing, whether the 500 cubic centimeter ballpark was attained early, or whether it occurred shortly before 4 million years ago.
