Status of the long-tailed macaque Macaca fascicularis in Singapore and implications for management

Abstract: The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) population of the island-state of Singapore consists of ca. 1,218-1,454 individuals. About seventy percent of the population (ca. 1,027 individuals) is concentrated in both Bukit Timah and Central Catchment Nature Reserves, a system of reservoirs and forest reserves located in the center of Singapore. This core population resides mainly along perimeter forest areas of the reserve system, which is bordered by residential and recreational areas (e.g., parks and golf … Show more

“…Sustained feeding by humans can also alter the reproductive success of macaques, by lowering infant and juvenile mortality and thus increasing population growth (Gumert et al, 2011). In contrast, humans can also limit population growth because they are dangerous to macaques and can harm or kill them through their activity, such as hunting, trapping (Louden et al, 2006), culling and removal of macaques (Gumert et al, 2011;Sha et al, 2009a;2009b). Areas of macaque-human interface range from highly competitive to mutualistic.…”

“…They are at risk of human aggression, they move around and utilize electrical wiring for travel and frequently move on roads, presenting the risk of injury and fatality. In Singapore and Hong Kong, automobile accidents represent a large proportion of mortality (Sha et al, 2009a).…”

“…This interface is one that characterizes a majority of macaques' ranges (particularly M. fascicualris) throughout Indonesia, Singapore Malaysia, and Thailand, and in areas such as Hong Kong and Southern China [Aggimarangsee, 1992;Fuentes et al, 2005;Sha et al, 2009]. In particular, this interface is of interest given the potential threats to M. fascicualris populations in the Southeast Asian region [Eudey, 2008].…”

“…Disturbance-tolerance: I = Intolerant, T1 = can occupy secondary forest, T2 = can occupy rural gardens, plantations, pastures and heavily degraded former forest, T3 = can occupy urban areas. Source for threatened status and habitat occupation is IUCN (2012) and Deikumah and Kudom (2010), Sha et al (2009), Tsuji (2011), O'Brien and Kinnaird (1997, Riley and Priston (2010), Dittus (1977), Maisels et al (2006), and Hoffman and O'Riain (2011). should be reviewed to account for important ecological role they may play.…”
