Azuero spider monkey
The Azuero spider monkey (''Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis'') is a possible subspecies of spider monkey that is in critical danger of extinction according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.〔Cuarón, A.D., Morales, A., Shedden, A., Rodriguez-Luna, E. & de Grammont, P.C. Ateles geoffroyi ssp. azuerensis. IUCN 2010. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2010.4. (2008).at 〕 Common names of this subspecies include ''mono charro'', ''mono charao'' and ''mono araña''. The Azuero subspecies is one of three types of spider monkeys in Panama; ''Ateles geoffroyi panamensis'' with a range spanning from Costa Rica to Darién excluding the Azuero, ''Ateles geoffroyi fusciceps'', with a range spanning Panamá and Colón provinces, and ''Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis'', the Azuero spider monkey, whose range encompasses only the Azuero Peninsula.〔Méndez-Carvajal, P. & Ruíz-Bernard, I. Estudio Poblacional del Mono Araña de Azuero (Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis: Atelidae), Península de Azuero , Panamá. Tecnociencia 11, 29-44 (2009).〕
==Foraging habits==
Although no published research pertaining specifically to the eating habits of the Azuero spider monkey exists, spider monkeys in general are frugivores. They dedicate anywhere from 55 to 90% of feeding time to fruit, but also eat plant parts such as leaves, flowers, seeds, and aerial roots.〔Di Fiore, A., Link, A. & Dew, J.L. Diets of wild spider monkeys. Spider monkeys: behavior, ecology and evolution of the genus Ateles. Campbell, CJ, ed 81–137 (2008).〕 Although they feed on a diverse variety of taxa, they are specialists in that they feed on ripe fruit, which is easy to penetrate, thus necessitating a wide species foraging range due to their reliance on seasonally fruiting resources.〔Wallace, R.B. Factors influencing spider monkey habitat use and ranging patterns. Spider Monkeys: Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of the Genus Ateles. Campbell, CJ, ed. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 420 pp 138–154 (2008).〕 Their ability to swallow fruits with large seeds rich in lipids enables dispersal of plant species that are rarely dispersed by other species.〔Dew, J.L. Spider monkeys as seed dispersers. Spider monkeys: behavior, ecology and evolution of the genus Ateles. Campbell CJ, ed. 155-182 (2008).〕 In addition to the primary influence of fruit availability, the location of water resources, sleeping sites, climatic extremes, and patrolling of range boundaries are all factors that influence spider monkey species ranges.〔 Published research on other spider monkey subspecies suggests that their home range requires anywhere from 95-390 ha in continuous forest.〔 These numbers remain unconfirmed for the Azuero spider monkey subspecies.
