  • 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.

Degree awarded March 2021 ii © 2021 Kylen Nadine Gartland iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Kylen Nadine Gartland Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology February 2021 Title: Male Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) sociality: Behavioral strategies and welfare science application Evolutionarily, individuals should pursue social strategies which confer advantages such as coalitionary support, mating opportunities, or access to limited resources. 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.

The current species distribution data for the Assamese macaque Macaca assamensis are outdated, but suggest a patchy distribu- tion in moist broadleaved forests in South and Southeast Asia. Therefore, in this study, we used a species distribution model to explore the potential climatic niche of this species and assess its distribution and potential barriers in 12 South and Southeast Asian countries. We combined primary and secondary species occurrence records from different countries. We applied Classifi- cation and Regression Tree (CART), TreeNet (boosting), RandomForest (bagging) and Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) machine-learning algorithms with elevation as well as 19 bioclimatic variables for the first ensemble predictions ever completed for this species.

  • Managing Humans, Managing Macaques: Human–Macaque Con fl Ict in Asia and Africa
    Chapter 14 Managing Humans, Managing Macaques: Human–Macaque Con fl ict in Asia and Africa Nancy E. C. Priston and Matthew R. McLennan 14.1 Introduction Con fl ict between humans and wild animals is one of the greatest challenges to biodiversity conservation globally (Hill et al. 2002 ; Woodroffe et al. 2005 ) . Expanding human populations and large-scale, accelerating conversion of natural habitats to alternative land uses mean that wildlife populations must adapt to human- dominated environments or disappear. At the same time, sustainable coexistence between people and wildlife in shared landscapes demands that humans share space and resources with wild animals. Today, the majority of non-human primates (here- after ‘primates’) are severely threatened by habitat loss and modi fi cation (Chapman and Peres 2001 ; Cowlishaw and Dunbar 2000 ) . However, the responses of individual taxa to increasingly ‘agriculturalised’ – and, in some circumstances, urbanised – environments occur along a gradient ranging from local extinction (inability to adapt) to apparent bene fi t (ecological and behavioural adaptation) (Gautier and Biquand 1994 ) . Taken as a whole, the genus Macaca appears to typify this latter response, though considerable variation exists among macaques in their propensity to exploit anthropogenic environments and coexist with people. Due to this frequent association with humans, macaques feature prominently in the growing database of primate–people con fl icts. In this chapter, we review the human–macaque con fl ict situation in Asia and Africa. Using speci fi c case studies, we explore the in fl uence of N. E. C. Priston (*) • M.R.

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.

  • Bringing up Baby: Developmental Simulation of the Adult Cranial Morphology of Rungwecebus Kipunji
    THE ANATOMICAL RECORD 293:388–401 (2010) Bringing Up Baby: Developmental Simulation of the Adult Cranial Morphology of Rungwecebus kipunji MICHELLE SINGLETON,1* KIERAN P. MCNULTY,2 STEPHEN R. FROST,3 2 3 JOHN SODERBERG, AND EMILY H. GUTHRIE 1Department of Anatomy, Midwestern University, Downers Grove, Illinois 2Department of Anthropology, Evolutionary Anthropology Laboratory, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 3Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon ABSTRACT Rungwecebus kipunji is a recently discovered, critically endangered primate endemic to southern Tanzania. Although phenetically similar to mangabeys, molecular analyses suggest it is more closely related to Papio or possibly descended from an ancient population of baboon-mangabey hybrids. At present, only a single kipunji specimen, an M1-stage juvenile male, is available for study; thus, the cranial morphology of the adult kipunji is unknown. In this study, we used developmental simulation to estimate the adult kipunji’s 3D cranial morphology. We examined varia- tion in cercopithecine developmental vectors, applied selected vectors to the juvenile cranium, and compared the resulting simulated adults to actual adult male papionins. Differences between papionin developmental vectors were small and statistically insignificant. This uniformity sug- gests conservation of an ancestral papionin developmental program. Simulated kipunji adults were likewise extremely similar. As a group, the simulated adults were morphometrically distinct from other papionins, corroborating the kipunji’s generic status. Simulated adults were pheneti- cally most similar to Lophocebus aterrimus but were distinguished from all adult papionins by the same unique traits that characterize the kipunji juvenile: a tall neurocranium, broad face, short nasal bones, con- cave anteorbital profile, and dorsally rotated palate.

MURMU Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700 053 *CD-292, Salt Lake, Kolkata-700 064 INTRODUCTION India has an amazing high diversity of non-human primate populations and is represented by 15 species. Majority of these species are forest dwellers, but there are some, which live in wide ranging habitats and are well adapted to divergent habitats. These primate species are good indicators of the viability of ecosystems and can be used for the proper management and conservation of the divergent ecosystems. Hence, it is equally important that this primate biodiversity be maintained. Recent report released by the Conservation International and Primate Specialist Group have classified 195 primate species and subspecies as either critically endangered or endangered and this figure nearly jumped to 63% since the initial report published in January 2000. One in three primate species is now regarded as threatened. Asia accounts for almost 45% of the world most endangered primates, with 11 listed among the top 25, and is regarded as world leader in endangered primate species (Primate Specialist Group 2002). Based on the information available, Indian primates can be categorised into : (1) Common; and fairly abundant species, (2) Rare and threatened species, (3) Data deficient species and (4) Species of doubtful distribution. Each of these has its own conservation and management problems and need to address separately.
