Table II.

Maximum ecologically tolerable group sizes (MEG) as modeled by a time-budget model against the number of forest guenons present at 202 sub-Saharan African sites

K = guenons are present but the total number of species is unknown. The model prediction for presence vs. absence of forest guenons reaches the highest predictive accuracy when MEG < 18 is considered unsuitable for forest guenons (dark gray indicates cases for which modeled values did not match observed values and light gray indicates cases for which modeled presence/absence fitted observed presence/absence).
