Evolutionary Distribution Changes of Sichuan Golden Monkeys (<i>Rhinopithecus roxellana</i>) in the Quaternary. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Reconstruct the distribution profiles of the ancestor of R. roxellana during the Pleistocene. A Historical distribution alteration of R. roxellana, including the ancestor (fossils), Historical (Starting from 1100 BP), and current (field survey) data. The human active impact on the R.

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiota Between Wild and Captive Guizhou Snub-Nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Maintaining a healthy status is crucial for the successful captive breeding of critically endangered Rhinopithecus brelichi, it is conducive to ex situ conservation of this species and rejuvenation of its population. Herein, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was employed to determine the gut microbiota composition and functional variations between wild and ...

First record of a mixed species association between Hatinh langur (Trachypithecus hatinhensis) and red-shanked douc (Pygathrix nemaeus). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In primates, mixed species associations are not common occurrences, and have been linked to both ecological and anthropogenic factors. We present camera‐trapping records of a mixed association between two primates, the Hatinh langur (Trachypithecus hatinhensis) and red‐shanked douc (Pygathrix nemaeus) and discuss possible hypotheses for this occurrence.

Summary of phylogeny in subfamily Colobinae (Primate: Cercopithecidae) [PDF]

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2013
The phylogeny of the colobine monkeys has a complex evolutionary history, evolving several distinct radiations and owned a wide range of forest and woodland habits in tropical Africa and in southern and eastern Asia. Understanding the true evolutionary history of the colobine monkeys becomes an important field and has received special attention.

Predicting the potential distribution change of the endangered Francois' langur (Trachypithecus francoisi) across its entire range in China under climate change. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study shows the potential suitable habitat of Francois' langur in China under current and future climates using maximum entropy models. The habitat prediction and the main drivers proposed in this study can provide essential insights for the future conservation of this endangered species.

A new report on mixed species association between Nilgiri Langurs Semnopithecus johnii and Tufted Grey Langurs S. priam (Primates: Cercopithecidae) in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, Western Ghats, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2020
Phylogenetic conservatism or rapid anthropogenic habitat modifications could increase the incidences of interspecific associations of Hanuman and Nilgiri langurs (Family: Cercopithecidae, subfamily: Colobinae) in the southern Western Ghats ...

The importance of well protected forests for the conservation genetics of West African colobine monkeys

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The large and continuous forest of Taï National Park provides beneficial conditions to maintain genetic diversity in still large, stationary, and well‐connected populations of colobine monkeys. Abstract In tropical forests, anthropogenic activities are major drivers of the destruction and degradation of natural habitats, causing severe biodiversity ...

Diverse diets and low‐fiber, low‐tannin foraging preferences: Foraging criteria of Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at low altitude in Huangshan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Our study found that the foraging behavior of Tibetan macaques is highly flexible and adaptable. They prefer low‐fiber and low‐tannin foods when foraging for food. This dietary preference adapts to higher species richness in low‐altitude habitats, and may allow Tibetan macaques to maintain their large body size.

Diets of white-headed langurs (Trachypithecus leucocephalus) inhabiting limestone forests: The effects of habitat fragmentation and implication for conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our findings underscore the impact of habitat fragmentation on the white‐headed langurs' diets, emphasizing the importance of maintaining native vegetation and reducing human disturbance in developing effective conservation strategies for langurs.
