Abstract
It has been reported that some simple and complex production systems can be used as temporary or permanent habitats by some primates. In southern Mexico and Brazil, it has been reported that forest plantations of Eucalyptus sp could maintain populations of Alouatta spp. However, there are aspects of the use of productive areas that have not been described. Therefore, it is important to explore how primates use these spaces, to generate useful information in the formulation of management and conservation plans for the species. Here, we report the observation of a group of Alouatta seniculus in rest, and displacement activities in forest plantations of Eucalyptus urograndis in the department of Antioquia, Colombia, from occasional observations.
