Popis:	Polygynous groups of de Brazzas monkeys (Cercopithecus neglectus) were observed in the Kisere Forest Reserve between December 1987 and March 1989. Total number of contact hours was 528. Three troops numbered 11, 13, and 16 monkeys. Three solitary adult males were seen. All troops had a single adult male, at least three adult females, and juveniles. Five births occurred in the course of the study. Home range varied from 4.1 to 6 ha, and flooded areas of the forest were heavily used. This species was only found near rivers and spent more than 50% of the time below 5 m. Daily path length ranged from 330 to 1001 m. The de Brazza's monkeys were mainly frugivorous, but leave and invertebrates also formed a substantial part of the diet. Other guenons avoided de Brazza's, which did not join polyspecific interactions.
