an ethnozoological study in the adjoining areas of mount abu wildlife sanctuary, india.there is evidence that human beings are familiar with use of animals for food, cloth, medicine, etc. since ancient times. enormous work has been done on ethnobotany and traditional medicine. like plants, animal and their products are also possessing medicinal properties that can be exploited for the benefit of human beings. in india, many ethnic communities are dispersed all over the country and these people are still totally depended on local traditional medicinal system for their health care. ...201020144243
mixed-species associations and attempted mating suggest hybridization between purple-faced and tufted gray langurs of sri lanka.hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism of evolutionary change in the order primates. here, we present the first observational data supporting natural hybridization between the critically endangered purple-faced langur (semnopithecus vetulus philbricki) and the threatened tufted gray langur (semnopithecus priam thersites) in kaludiyapokuna forest reserve in sri lanka. in one case study, we observed a long-term (> 1 year) mixed-species group consisting of one adult tuft ...202032804328
detection, identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility of campylobacter spp. and salmonella spp. from free-ranging nonhuman primates in sri lanka.infections with campylobacter spp. and salmonella spp. are the most frequently reported causes of human bacterial enteritis. warm-blooded animals, including livestock, pets, and wildlife, can be carriers of the bacteria and may contaminate the environment and food products. the present study investigated the occurrence of campylobacter spp. and salmonella spp. in fecal pat samples from free-ranging toque macaques (macaca sinica) and tufted gray langurs (semnopithecus priam) collected in march-ma ...201931021685
life history theory and dental development in four species of catarrhine primates.dental development was reconstructed in several individuals representing four species of catarrhine primates--symphalangus syndactylus, hylobates lar, semnopithecus entellus priam, and papio hamadryas--using the techniques of dental histology. bar charts assumed to represent species-typical dental development were constructed from these data and estimated ages at first and third molar emergence were plotted on them along with ages at weaning, menarche, and first reproduction from the literature. ...200717706270
demography and reproductive output in langurs of the western ghats, india.life history traits evolve such that the reproductive output of an organism is maximized. demographic characteristics, a consequence of life history traits, indicate the reproductive output per individual in group-living species. both phylogenetic and ecological factors influence demographic traits. in the forests of the western ghats, india, we studied the demography of three langur species: semnopithecus johnii, a wet forest-dwelling species; semnopithecus hypoleucos, largely a wet forest-dwel ...201627328816
stable carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, isotope analysis of plants from a south asian tropical forest: implications for primatology.stable isotope analysis of primate tissues in tropical forest contexts is an increasingly popular means of obtaining information about niche distinctions among sympatric species, including preferences in feeding height, forest canopy density, plant parts, and trophism. however, issues of equifinality mean that feeding height, canopy density, as well as the plant parts and plant species consumed, may produce similar or confounding effects. with a few exceptions, researchers have so far relied lar ...201728345759
