          Abstract

          En este estudio, se determinó la densidad poblacional y la estructura de grupo para una población de Alouatta seniculus (L. 1766) (Primates: Atelidae), asentada en una zona fragmentada de los arroyos Colosó y Sereno, del Municipio de Colosó, en el Departamento de Sucre, Colombia. La zona de estudio, se ubicó en los Montes de María, formación de bosque seco tropical, que conforma un relictus en el cinturón árido Pericaribeño. Se aplicó el método seguimiento continuo, con 84 salidas de campo durante un año, entre 2009 y 2010. Se registraron 22 grupos en total, con una densidad de 52,4 Ind./Km² y de 8,7 Grupos/Km². La proporción entre machos y hembras fue de 1:1. Las variables poblacionales analizadas concuerdan con los rangos establecidos para la especie, pero difieren en cuanto a densidad y estructura de grupo con trabajos previos, llevados a cabo en la zona. Se evidencia un modelo socioecológico, que favorece el incremento de la densidad, mediante la conformación de múltiples grupos de menor tamaño.

          The populational density and group structure for a Alouatta seniculus (Primates: Atelidae) population seated in a fragmented area of the Colosó and Sereno streams in the Municipality of Colosó, Department of Sucre, Colombia, was determined. The study area was located in Montes de Maria, dry tropical dry formation that structure a relictus in the arid Caribbean region. The method of continuous pursuits was applied during 84 field days during one year, between 2009 and 2010. Twenty two groups in total, with a density of 52.4 Ind. /Km², and of 8.7 Groups/Km² were registered. The proportion between males and females was 1:1. The populational variables analyzed agree with the established ranges for the species, but they differ for density and group structure according to previous studies carried out in the area. A socioecological model was evidenced, favoring the density increase through the conformation of multiple smaller sized groups.
