“…Average annual precipitation was 641 mm (2.10 ft), with the heaviest rain recorded from June to August (Qu et al 1993;Hu et al 2004). This is similar to the climate of the Pakistan region where rhesus macaques are found, but the habitat in Pakistan is dominated by mixed evergreen and deciduous forests that are highly disturbed (Goldstein & Richard 1989), and which are also in proximity with habitat conditions of the Japanese monkeys, Macaca fuscata Blyth, 1875 (Wada & Ichiki 1980;Nakagawa 1989).…”

“…Rhesus macaques are regarded as habitat generalists, and their adaptive ability to marginal or degraded ecological conditions has been a key factor in allowing the species to survive in fragmented landscapes and highly populated areas (Lu et al 2007;Song & Qu 1996;Wada & Ichiki 1980). In temperate regions therefore, cold and snow is prevalent in winter and this adversely limits foraging and other activities to a greater extent.…”

Patterns of habitat selection and use by Macaca mulatta tcheliensis in winter and early spring in temperate forest, Jiyuan, China • 22 E, in Taihangshan Macaque National Nature Reserve (TMNNR), Jiyuan, Henan Province, we show by elaborative results that Macaca mulatta tcheliensis was specifically associated with the following habitat characteristics: (1) the average tree DBH (diameter at breast height) with over 15 cm; (2) the distance from human disturbance of less than 2000 m; (3) the distance to water with less than 1000 m; (4) the gradient of mountain slope of 15• ∼40 • ; (5) which was markedly tarrying with the altitude ranges from 1000 m to 1300 m; and (6) where the canopy coverage was less than 60%. In addition, during this study, rhesus macaque mostly inhabited the sunny slopes of mountains than the shady areas. Results of the first five principal components analysis (PCA) accounted for the total variance of 68.88%, while the other factors showed insignificant effects on habitat selection by rhesus macaque in the temperate forest. In conclusion, these new results increase our understanding on the living status, under the harshest condition, in winter and early spring of Macaca mulatta tcheliensis, the subspecies of rhesus macaques as may be linked to its habitat selection and utilization, in the temperate forest.

“…Studies of rhesus monkeys in the Jiyuan Nature Reserve in north central China (Taihang Mountains) reported home ranges for this species as large as 22 km 2 (range 11-22 km 2 , mean 16 km 2 ), while, in sharp contrast, in southern China, this species had home ranges of only 0.37 km 2 [21,22]. In the same temperate climatic zone as that of the snub-nosed monkey, Macaca thibetana has home ranges averaging 6 km 2 [23], and Macaca fuscata has home ranges averaging 3.7 km 2 [24]. The home range sizes of Presbytis entellus, also a colobine, average 3.4 km 2 in high-elevation Himalayan forests with similar habitats [25].…”

The seasonal changes in home range and habitat use of the Sichuan snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus roxellana, have been studied by radio tracking and direct observation in the Qinling Mountains of China. The home range size was 14.1 km² in spring, 9.5 km² in summer, 12.1 km² in autumn and 12.3 km² in winter; the total area used was 22.5 km². The area of the home range is closely correlated with the distribution and abundance of food resources. Seasonal change in the home range area is correlated with the phenology of the vegetation. An unusually large home range is a unique characteristic of this monkey.
