Interannual variation in food choice of white‐headed langur inhabiting limestone forests in Fusui, southwest Guangxi, China [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Food habits are important factors in the adaptation of wild nonhuman primates. White‐headed langurs (Trachypithecus leucocephalus) are endemic to heavily fragmented limestone forests and adapt to unique living environments via flexible food selection ...

Low genetic diversity and strong population structure shaped by anthropogenic habitat fragmentation in a critically endangered primate, Trachypithecus leucocephalus. [PDF]

Heredity (Edinb), 2017
Habitat fragmentation may strongly impact population genetic structure and reduce the genetic diversity and viability of small and isolated populations. The white-headed langur (Trachypithecus leucocephalus) is a critically endangered primate species living in a highly fragmented and human-modified habitat in southern China.

Seasonal variations in the gut microbiota of white-headed black langur (Trachypithecus leucocephalus) in a limestone forest in Southwest Guangxi, China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Investigating gut microbiota is important for understanding the physiological adaptation of animals to food availability changes in fragmented habitats and consequently providing new ideas for the conservation of endangered wild animals.

Relatively recent evolution of pelage coloration in Colobinae: phylogeny and phylogeography of three closely related langur species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
To understand the evolutionary processes leading to the diversity of Asian colobines, we report here on a phylogenetic, phylogeographical and population genetic analysis of three closely related langurs, Trachypithecus francoisi, T.

Sleeping site use of the white-headed langur Trachypithecus leucocephalus: The role of predation risk, territorial defense, and proximity to feeding sites [PDF]

Current Zoology, 2011
We collected data on sleeping site use from two groups of white-headed langurs Trachypithecus leucocephalus living in Fusui Nature Reserve, China between August 2007 and July 2008.

Comparison of locomotor behaviour between white-headed langurs Trachypithecus leucocephalus and François’ langurs T. françoisi in Fusui, China

Current Zoology, 2009
We studied the locomotor behaviour of white-headed langurs Trachypithecus leucocephalus and François’ langurs T.françoisi to test two hypotheses: (1) these monkeys have evolved locomotor ability to support their activities on limestone hills, and (2 ...

Low genetic diversity in a critically endangered primate: shallow evolutionary history or recent population bottleneck? [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Current patterns of population genetic variation may have been shaped by long-term evolutionary history and contemporary demographic processes.

Genomic adaptation to small population size and saltwater consumption in the critically endangered Cat Ba langur. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Many mammal species have declining populations, but the consequences of small population size on the genomic makeup of species remain largely unknown.

Ontogeny of Diet and Behavior of a Wild, Critically Endangered Lemur (Indri indri). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
(A) An infant indri (50 days of age) carried by its mother. (B) Effect of age (in days) on the proportion of feeding sessions in which mothers and offspring consumed the same plant. Shaded areas indicate confidence intervals. The gray area represents 95% confidence interval. ABSTRACT The early developmental period plays a key role in primate behavioral
