South Asian Primate Network – SAPN Representing the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group in South Asia South Asian Primate Network – SAPN Representing the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group in South Asia Sponsored by Margot Marsh Biodiversity Fund & Conservation International Primate Action Fund Produced by Zoo Outreach Organization & IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group, South Asia March 2017 (Tenth electronic publication) ZOO OUTREACH ORGANIZATION 12, Thiruvannamalai Nagar, Saravanampatti, Coimbatore 641035, Tamil Nadu, India Ph: +91 9385339862 & 9385339863 Email: [email protected] www.zooreach.org, www.zoosprint.zooreach.org, www.southasianprimatenetwork.zooreach.org INTRODUCTION This Directory is a long pending commitment to the South Asian Primate Network, which represents the Primate Specialist Group and is funded by the Primate Action Fund. The objective of the Directory is to assist people who study or otherwise help the primates of South Asia to know about and find one another. You will note just in a very casual read, that most people do not have information under their name, except for their address (and some, not even that). The reason is that they haven't supplied this information as yet. For that reason we have deleted the terminology of "member" from the network and substituted "associate" because there may be people who are hesitant to join something. The Directory is only as useful as the amount and currency of its information. So if you have not contributed your C.V., interests, achievements, hopes, dreams, etc. please do so. If you have corrections which need to be made for your section could you do us a big favour and simply use the copy tool in PDF to copy your whole entry, paste it into a word file and then make your corrections, using our same format. We can then simply cut and paste it back into the directory easily and the way you want it. For those who have not send their information and want a form, please send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] and we will send you a form by return mail. If you do not have email, join the human (primate) race and get an email address. You are living in the stone-age. We are biased against cavemen and will not interact with you unless you have email. On that friendly note, we welcome you all as South Asian Primate associates and hope we can be useful and helpful to you as you do your noble work for South Asian beautiful primates.

  • Dietary Adaptations of Assamese Macaques (Macaca Assamensis) in Limestone Forests in Southwest China

From September 2012 to August 2013, we collected data on the diet of one group of Assamese macaques living in limestone forests at Nonggang National Nature Reserve, Guangxi Province, China, using instantaneous scan sampling. Assamese macaques were primarily folivorous, young leaves accounting for 75.5% and mature leaves an additional 1.8% of their diet. In contrast, fruit accounted for only 20.1%. The young leaves of Bonia saxatilis, a shrubby, karst‐ endemic bamboo that is superabundant in limestone hills, comprised the bulk of the average monthly diet. Moreover, macaques consumed significantly more bamboo leaves during the season when the availability of fruit declined, suggesting that bamboo leaves are an important fallback food for Assamese macaques in limestone forests. In addition, diet composition varied seasonally. The monkeys consumed significantly more fruit and fewer young leaves in the fruit‐rich season than in the fruit‐lean season.

A recent descriptive analysis demonstrated that these fossil teeth form a uniform group that can be assigned to a single species of Nomascus. In this contribution, a two- dimensional morphometric approach is employed to examine the Chongzuo specimens in comparison with a large sample of extant hylobatids, as well as with previously reported hylobatid dental remains from the Pleistocene of China.

  • Fossil Gibbons (Mammalia, Hylobatidae) from the Pleistocene of Chongzuo, Guangxi, China

Comparisons indicate that the teeth can all be referred to a single species of Nomascus, but the material is insufficient to assign it to a particular species. The molars are slightly larger on average than those of extant species of Nomascus, but unlike contemporary great apes from the Pleistocene of southern China, the hylobatids do not seem to have undergone a change in dental size through time.

How an individual forms and maintains social bonds may be influenced by a large number of factors including sex, age, dominance rank, group structure, group demographics, relatedness, or seasonality. Individuals may employ differential social strategies both in terms of the type and quantity of interactions they engage in as well as their chosen social partners. The objective of this dissertation is to examine sociality in adult male Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) and the varying strategies that individuals may employ depending on their relative position within a social group.
