In terms of conservation biology it is well known that common species can suddenly undergo rapid and sometimes difficult to explain declines. Whilst savanna monkeys are not endangered and are still common, perhaps study and analysis could be directed to help keep them that way and research with this aim might benefit other less fortunate taxa.'
