The researchers are studying six groups of wild blue monkeys (Cercopithecus mitas stuhlmanni), differing five-fold in size, in the Kakamega, Kenya rain forest to understand the evolutionary basis of group living.

This is worthy of federal tax dollars, right?

This is the second time around for this grant...
