Tracking Down the Kapunji Monkey
May 11, 2006
1 In January 2006, scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society were in the forests of
Tanzania searching for a gray, tree-dwelling monkey that had been identified in photographs as a
new species the previous summer.
2 Half a world away, in a laboratory at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Assistant Professor
Link Olson and undergraduate biology major Kyndall Hildebrandt were
looking at DNA test results that pointed to an even more significant finding. The monkey wasn’t
just an example of a new species; it belonged to a new genus. “A new genus in any living
mammal group is notable,” said Olson. “Finding a new genus in the best- studied group of living
mammals is a reminder of how much we have to learn about the planet’s biodiversity.” This was
the first time in eighty-three years that scientists had identified a new genus of living African
monkey. A paper detailing the discovery was to be published in the journal Science on June 2,
2006.
3 The monkey was named Rungwecebus kipunji (pronounced rung-way-CEE-bus kip-OON-jee)
for its home on Mt. Rungwe in Tanzania. Scientists first described the kipunji in 2005 and noted
that it differed in appearance and behavior from other known species of monkey. They first
classified it in a genus that includes three other species of monkeys. However, that classification
was based only on field observations and photographs.
4 In August 2005, a farmer found a monkey matching the description of the kipunji dead in a trap
and handed it over to Tim Davenport of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Tanzania and Bill
Stanley of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The monkey was sent to the Field
Museum, which then sent muscle samples to Olson for genetic analysis. In the meantime, Stanley
and Yale University’s Eric Sargis began examining the animal’s physical characteristics.
5 Genetic evidence showed that the kipunji is related to baboons. However, both field
observations and analysis of the animal’s physical characteristics revealed multiple differences
between the kipunji and baboons, which led to the creation of the new genus Rungwecebus. The
authors of the paper agree that having a specimen of the animal to study allowed them to
correctly classify it. Scientists who first described kipunji as a new species were unable to
examine a specimen.
6 “A picture may paint a thousand words,” Olson said, “but in the case of the kipunji, those
thousand words didn’t tell the whole story.” Olson said the discovery is an example of what can
be accomplished through international collaboration among scientists.
