Pregnancy complications in wild vervet monkeys in an urban mosaic landscape
Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) are a widespread, typically seasonally breeding African primate. We report pregnancy complications in wild females in the urban mosaic landscape of Durban, South Africa, that required admittance to a wildlife rehabilitation centre. We found pregnancy complications in 13 female vervet monkey adults and subadults, with most cases (69.2%) in spring. Dystocia (difficult or obstructed labour) was the main cause of admission (46.2%), and in 69.2% of cases, a veterinarian attended to the animal. However, most pregnancy complications resulted in death (86.6%). Concerns about increased anthropogenic food causing increased birth size need further investigation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
