| habitat selection of black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (rhinopithecus bieti) in tibet: implications for species conservation. | as anthropogenic habitat changes are often considered a threat to natural ecosystems and wildlife, a sound understanding of the effects of habitat alteration on endangered species is crucial when designing management strategies or performing conservation activities. black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (rhinopithecus bieti) are categorized as endangered on the iucn red list and are endemic to the trans-himalayas in china. at present, there are only 15 groups and 2,500 individuals remaining in the ... | 2010 | 21328593 |
| [study on medicinal plant resources and diversity in rhinopithecus bieti national natural reserve of markam in tibet]. | this research was a part of the investigation of traditional chinese medicine resources survey in markam. the medicinal plants in natural reserve were studied for the first in this paper. there were 300 species in 202 genera of 54 families, among them there were 7 species of ferns in 5 genera of 5 families, 6 species of gymnosperms in 4 genera of 3 families, and 287 species of angiosperms in 194 genera of 61 families. there were 166 species tibetan medicinal plants in 102 genera of 47 families. ... | 2015 | 26084154 |
| positive influence of traditional culture and socioeconomic activity on conservation: a case study from the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (rhinopithecus bieti) in tibet. | found in the trans-himalayas of north-west yunnan and south-east tibet, the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (rhinopithecus bieti) is one of the world's most endangered primates. a recent survey indicates that only 15 groups with 2500 individuals remain in the wild. however, the tibetan xiaochangdu group may be the only equilibrium group in the field since the last investigation in 1988. to evaluate the effects of traditional culture and socioeconomic activity on biodiversity conservation of r. ... | 2010 | 21174355 |
| male allocare in rhinopithecus bieti at xiaochangdu, tibet: is it related to energetic stress. | male allocare among nonhuman primates has frequently been investigated from the perspective of the caretaker. here we examined whether male allocare relates to environmental factors or the females' energetic stress. we researched the possible differences of allocare between sexes in free-ranging black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (rhinopithecus bieti) in tibet. a combination of stepwise least squares regression analysis was used to identify the influence of ecological factors (temperature, rainf ... | 2010 | 20545009 |
| seasonality of mating and birth in wild black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (rhinopithecus bieti) at xiaochangdu, tibet. | data on mating and birth seasonality were recorded in wild black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (rhinopithecus bieti) at xiaochangdu in the honglaxueshan national nature reserve, tibet. this represents one of the harshest habitats utilized by any nonhuman primate. variation in food availability, temperature, and photoperiod were examined to identify ecological influences on the timing of reproductive events. mating was observed to occur mostly between july and october and to coincide with peak foo ... | 2009 | 18989738 |
| phylogeography and population structure of the yunnan snub-nosed monkey (rhinopithecus bieti) inferred from mitochondrial control region dna sequence analysis. | rhinopithecus bieti, the yunnan snub-nosed monkey, is the nonhuman primate with the highest altitudinal distribution and is also one of the 25 most globally endangered primate species. currently, r. bieti is found in forests between 3000 and 4500 m above sea level, within a narrow area on the tibetan plateau between the yangtze and mekong rivers, where it is suffering from loss of habitat and shrinking population size (approximately 1500). to assess the genetic diversity within this species, its ... | 2007 | 17688537 |
| diet and feeding behavior of rhinopithecus bieti at xiaochangdu, tibet: adaptations to a marginal environment. | the diet and feeding ecology of a wild subpopulation of black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (rhinopithecus bieti) were studied at xiaochangdu in honglaxueshan nature reserve, tibet. this region is climatologically harsher than any other inhabited by non-human primates. black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys fed on 48 parts of 25 plant species, at least three species of lichens and seven species of invertebrates. the number of food items exploited varied markedly among seasons, with dietary diversity ... | 2007 | 17330871 |
