'''Prince Bernhard's titi monkey''' ('''''Plecturocebus bernhardi''''') is a [[species]] of [[titi]] in the genus ''[[Plecturocebus]]'', first described in 2002. It is named after [[Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands]]. They have varying coloration of gray, black, and [[agouti (coloration)|aguoti]], with dark orange in certain regions. They are endemic to [[Brazil]], found mostly in disturbed forest environments. While officially listed as [[least-concern]] by the [[International Union for the Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN), they may, in fact, be at-risk of human-caused [[deforestation]].

Prince Bernhard's titi monkey (Plecturocebus bernhardi) is a species of titi in the genus Plecturocebus, first described in 2002. It is named after Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. They have varying coloration of gray, black, and aguoti, with dark orange in certain regions. They are endemic to Brazil, found mostly in disturbed forest environments. While officially listed as least-concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), they may, in fact, be at-risk of human-caused deforestation.

Etymology

The species is known to locals of the regions it inhabits as a zog-zog or zogue-zogue. Its English common name was selected in honor of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who created the Order of the Golden Ark, an award equivalent to knighthood, presented each year to a group of conservationists.[2]

Taxonomy

Prince Bernhard's titi monkey belongs to the genus Plecturocebus. It was originally described by Marc van Roosmalen et al. in 2002 as Callicebus bernhardi.[2] In 2016, the genus was split into four new genera, with bernhardi ending up in the moloch group of the newly-created genus Plecturocebus. Other members of that group include P. moloch, P. cinerascens, P. hoffmannsi, P. baptista, and P. brunneus.[3]

Description

C. bernhardi has dark orange sideburns, underparts, and inner limbs (of a more uniform shade than P. cinerascens). The upper regions of the body and head are grayish black, while on the back, it is mixed with brownish agouti or reddish brown. The face is black, with white hairs around the nose and mouth. The ears are also black, with whitish tufts. The mostly-black tail is contrasted by a white tip. Its hairs are 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Distribution

The Prince Bernhard's titi monkey is endemic to Brazil, specifically the states of Amazonas and Rondônia, and possibly Mato Grosso, although its presence in the third is uncertain, having possibly been sighted in Alta Floresta. It is found between the Madeira and Aripuanã rivers. The range of P. bernhardi overlaps with those of P. cinerascens and P. hoffmannsi at the headwaters of the Juruena, Aripuanã, and Roosevelt rivers. They occur in protected areas, including Ipixuna Indigenous Land.[1]

Habitat

P. bernhardi prefer to live in disturbed forest, either naturally disturbed or disturbed by humans. Specifically, they enjoy to live in blow-downs (swathes of secondary forest affected by massive storms), liana forests, and forests near plantations and fields.[2]

Behavior

Diet

Prince Bernhard's titi monkeys have been observed feeding on the fruits of Oenocarpus distichus and Orbignya phalerata, younger leaves and fruit of plants of the genus Inga, and shrubs and lianas of unknown classification.[4]

Vocalizations

In the early morning, before dawn, all the pairs in one area will often begin to perform duet calls together.[2]

Thermoregulation

Keeping their bodies at the correct temperature is important for Prince Bernhard's titi monkeys to keep their metabolism functioning as it should. They display thermoregulation behaviors when they are not at their ideal temperature. In higher levels of heat, especially over 31 °C (88 °F), they avoid sunny places, although they begin to use heat-dissipating postures at as low as 27 °C (81 °F).[5]

Conservation

The Prince Bernhard's titi monkey is of least-concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The organization considered it to not be at risk due to its large range and lack of human impact on its habitat. They concluded that it has a stable population and no known threats.[1] However, later research efforts found that its habitat, in the Arc of Deforestation (an area in the southeastern Amazon rainforest defined by heavy deforestation), was at risk. It is estimated that it will lose 44.5% of its current range over the next 24 years (three generations). From this study, the research team concluded that its status should be changed to vulnerable.[6]
