Lichens are among the most widely distributed plants on earth and have the longest growth
cycle. Usnic acid is an abundant characteristic secondary metabolite of lichens and the …

The ecology and behavior of the four species of Rhinopithecus, snub‐nosed monkeys, are
rapidly becoming well known. New field studies reveal in depth the striking adaptations of …

This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic
perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular …

The biological mechanisms that underpin primate social evolution remain poorly
understood. Asian colobines display a range of social organizations, which makes them …

Primates of the Colobinae subfamily are highly folivorous. They possess a sacculated
foregut and are believed to rely on a specialized gut microbiota to extract sufficient energy …

Only a few primate species thrive in temperate regions characterized by relatively low
temperature, low rainfall, low species diversity, high elevation, and especially an extended …

We analyzed regional variation in the diets of two primate clades, Asian macaques and
colobines, whose distributions include temperate–alpine forests. We addressed feeding …

Many threatened species have undergone range retraction, and are confined to small
fragmented populations. To increase their survival prospects, it is necessary to find suitable …

Diet and feeding behavior data are crucial to a deep understanding of the behavioral
response and adaptation of primates to a high-altitude environment. From August 2019 to …

All primates show some dietary flexibility, particularly during food shortages. Foods
consumed during times of scarcity (ie, fallback foods) strongly influence the ecology and …
