  • Oleps’ Traditional Beliefs of the Clouded Leopard the Top Predator of Bhutan

    Open AccessKuenzang Dorji, Lori K Sheeran et al.ARTICLEAsian Social Science2022

    The Oleps are the first human inhabitants of Bhutan and the country’s last remaining hunter-gatherers. We conducted a preliminary study into the meaning of the traditional Bhutanese saying tog-ge-teng-nang-gong; gong-ge-teng-nang-thee (Ole) and tag-ge-ta-lay-gung; gung ge-ta-lay-theb (Dzongkha). Tag in Dzongkha refers to Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris) and gung refers to clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa). The saying describes the existence of a …

  • Preliminary Report on Golden Langur (Trachypithecus geei) Winter Sleep Sites

    Open AccessKuenzang Dorji, Lori K Sheeran et al.ARTICLEHumans2021Cited by: 1References: 30

    Golden langurs (Trachypithecus geei) in Bhutan have received little research attention in the anthropic environments where most of the population lives. We recorded group sizes and compositions and documented sleep sites for 24 golden langur groups living in a biological corridor (N = 9) and near a human settlement (N = 15) in central Bhutan. We used scan sampling to document behaviors and direct observation and camera traps to record potential p…

  • Social connectivity among female Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) increases the speed of collective movements

  • Season, age, and sex affect the fecal mycobiota of free‐ranging Tibetan macaques ( Macaca thibetana )

    Open AccessBinghua Sun, Zhiyuan Gu et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2018

    Recent studies highlight that the gut mycobiota play essential roles in mammalian metabolic and immune systems, but to date we lack information on the forces that naturally shape the gut mycobiota of wild primates. To investigate the contributions of host and environmental factors in the taxonomic variation of the gut mycobiota, we examined the effects of age, sex, and season on the fecal mycobiota in wild-living Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetan…

  • Social rank versus affiliation

    Open AccessXi Wang, Lixing Sun et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2016

    Research on leadership is a critical step for understanding collective decision making. However, only 4 of the 22 extant macaque species have been examined for the impact of social rank and affiliation on the initiation of collective movement. It is far from clear whether such impact exists and, if so, how it works among other macaques. To answer these questions, we investigated free-ranging, Tibetan macaques' (Macaca thibetana) group departures …

  • The vocal repertoire of Tibetan macaques ( Macaca thibetana )

    Open AccessSofia K Bernstein, Sofia K Blue et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2016

    Vocal repertoires are basic and essential components for describing vocal communication in animals. Studying the entire suite of vocal signals aids investigations on the variation of acoustic structure across social contexts, comparisons on the complexity of communication systems across taxa, and in exploration of the evolutionary origins of species-specific vocalizations. Here, we describe the vocal repertoire of the largest species in the macaq…

  • Tourism and Infant-Directed Aggression in Tibetan Macaques ( Macaca thibetana ) at Mt. Huangshan, China

    Sydney Self, Lori K Sheeran et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2013

    Previous studies of habituated Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mt. Huangshan, China demonstrated the negative impact that some tourism management strategies had on monkeys' annual infant mortality, but data on precise causes and perpetrators of infant injuries were not available. We worked at the same site and recorded rates of aggression that older monkeys directed toward group infants as a function of tourist numbers and proximity. We fo…

  • Noninvasive Saliva Collection for DNA Analyses From Free‐Ranging T ibetan M acaques ( M acaca thibetana )

    Open AccessNoah D Simons, J Lorenz et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2012

    Cryptic and endangered fauna, including many primate taxa, pose challenges for noninvasive collection of biomaterials. As a result, application of noninvasive genotyping to primates has been limited to the use of samples such as feces and hair for the extraction of PCR ‐amplifiable DNA . We present a method for noninvasive collection of saliva from habituated, free‐ranging monkeys. The method utilizes a low‐cost apparatus that controls for contam…

  • Tourist impact on Tibetan macaques

    Megan D Matheson, Lori K Sheeran et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2006Cited by: 6References: 14

    Ecotourism is a growing sector of the tourism industry, but few studies to date have quantified its impacts on local people, tourists and wildlife. We present a preliminary study on threat and affiliative behaviors of two groups of free-ranging Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) as a function of habituation and tourist presence. Data indicate that the less habituated group spent less time within sight of tourists compared with the more habituate…
