===Interspecific associations=== Several species of primates are known to associate in the wild. Some of these associations have been extensively studied. In the [[TaΓ― National Park|Tai Forest]] of Africa, several species coordinate anti-predator behavior. These include the [[Diana monkey]], [[Campbell's mona monkey]], [[lesser spot-nosed monkey]], [[western red colobus]], [[king colobus]] (western [[Black-and-white colobus|black and white colobus]]), and [[sooty mangabey]], which coordinate anti-predator alarm calls.<ref name="tai">{{cite book|title=Monkeys of Tai Forest, An African Primate Community|chapter=Interactions between African Crowned Eagles and Their Prey Community|author1=Shultz, S. |author2=Thomsett, S. |name-list-style=amp |editor=McGraw, W. |editor2=Zuberbuhler, K. |editor3=Noe, R.|year=2007|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-81633-5|pages=181}}</ref> Among the predators of these monkeys is the [[common chimpanzee]].<ref name="tai2007">{{cite book|title=Monkeys of Tai Forest, An African Primate Community|chapter=Interactions between Red Colobus Monkeys and Chimpanzees|author=Bshary, R.|editor=McGraw, W. |editor2=Zuberbuhler, K. |editor3=Noe, R.|year=2007|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-81633-5|pages=155β170}}</ref> The [[red-tailed monkey]] associates with several species, including the western red colobus, [[blue monkey]], [[Wolf's mona monkey]], [[mantled guereza]], [[black crested mangabey]] and [[Allen's swamp monkey]].<ref name="Rowe1996" /> Several of these species are preyed upon by the common chimpanzee.<ref name="chimpcolobus">{{cite book|title=Chimpanzee and Red Colobus : the ecology of predator and prey|url=https://archive.org/details/chimpanzeeredcol0000stan|author=Stanford, C.|year=1998|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=0-674-00722-0|pages=[https://archive.org/details/chimpanzeeredcol0000stan/page/130 130]β138, 233}}</ref> In South America, [[squirrel monkey]]s associate with [[capuchin monkey]]s.<ref name="move">{{cite book|title=On the Move : how and why animals travel in groups|chapter=Social Manipulation Within and Between Troops Mediates Primate Group Movement|author=Boinski, S.|editor=Boinski, S. |editor2=Garber, P.|year=2000|publisher=University of Chicago Press|isbn=0-226-06340-2|pages=447β448}}</ref> This may have more to do with foraging benefits to the squirrel monkeys than anti-predation benefits.<ref name="move" />
