| dietary adaptations of assamese macaques (macaca assamensis) in limestone forests in southwest china. | limestone hills are an unusual habitat for primates, prompting them to evolve specific behavioral adaptations to the component karst habitat. 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 ... | 2015 | 25231871 |
| niche separation of sympatric macaques, macaca assamensis and m. mulatta, in limestone habitats of nonggang, china. | comparative studies of sympatric species are essential in understanding those species' behavioral and ecological adaptations as well as the mechanisms that can reduce resource competition enough to allow coexistence. we collected data on diet, activity budget and habitat use from two sympatric macaque species, the assamese macaque (macaca assamensis) and the rhesus macaque (m. mulatta), in a limestone seasonal rainforest of nonggang nature reserve, southwestern guangxi, china. our results show t ... | 2014 | 24150015 |
| [influence of surface water availability on mammal distributions in nonggang national nature reserve, guangxi, china]. | surface water is a major limiting factor affecting animal activities in karst ecosystems. from march, 2006 to june, 2007 and from october, 2010 to may, 2011, infra-red camera traps were installed along animal trails and temporary rain pools in nonggang national nature reserve, guangxi, china, to monitor mammal diversity and relative abundance. in total, 19 species from 17 genera, 12 families, and 5 orders were recorded, including two state key protection class i species, the françois' langur (tr ... | 2013 | 23775988 |
