Abstract

We document primate diversity in the Ríos Blanco y Negro Wildlife Reserve and compare encounter rates between primate species and the field sites examined. We also presem an encounter rate for overall primate biomass at each field site. Primate diversity encountered within the Reserve appears typical of other sites in eastern lowland Bolívia but interesting patterns in species distribution and abundance are discussed.
