Handheld Thermal Devices Can Facilitate Population Monitoring of the Critically Endangered Delacour's Langur Trachypithecus delacouri in Difficult Terrains

Ecology and Evolution
The Delacour's langur (Trachypithecus delacouri) is a Critically Endangered primate, restricted to a small region in northern Vietnam. In view of its very small population and existing threats, frequent population monitoring programs are urgently needed ...

Microhabitat selection by François’ langur Trachypithecus francoisi in Mayanghe National Nature Reserve, China

Endangered Species Research
Understanding microhabitat use and selection by terrestrial animals and their driving factors is one of the major tasks in ecology and conservation biology. Many habitat selection studies do not differentiate habitat characteristics between core (the key

Improper Primate Release Fuels Interspecific Mating: Cases of Two Mixed-Species Groups in Bangladesh. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In Bangladesh, confiscated animals are often released without proper assessment, risking harm to native populations. We reported locally non‐native primates forming mixed‐species groups with native primates and engaged in interspecific matings, raising concerns about hybridization risks.

A Framework to Analyze Primate Species Vulnerability to Trade in Urban Markets. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
A primate‐focused conservation criminology framework to examine taxon‐specific vulnerability to live trade in urban markets. ABSTRACT Live primates are increasingly commodified and appropriated as inputs into markets, both at the international and domestic scales, and across physical and online platforms.

Caught on Camera: Insights Into Mizoram's Mammalian Diversity Through a Camera-Trap-Based Distance Sampling Approach. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Mizoram's study revealed low ungulate densities and abundance, suggesting illegal hunting as a cause and entailing conservation urgency. ABSTRACT Assessing species distribution and associated threats is crucial for effective conservation. Many species including mammals face extinction due to habitat loss, hunting, and illegal trade, with their ...

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.
