Population Dynamics of a Lion‐Tailed Macaque ( Macaca silenus ) Population in a Rainforest Fragment in the Southern Western Ghats of India
Demographic analysis is often used for the effective management of wildlife, especially for species facing human‐caused disturbances to their habitat, such as habitat fragmentation. The objective of this long‐term study was, therefore, to gain insights into the status of a lion‐tailed macaque ( Macaca silenus ) population, inhabiting the Puthuthottam estate near Valparai in the Western Ghats of southwestern India, by documenting demographic facto…

Human-animal interactions
This article explores the use of camera traps as novel research agents in studying human-animal interactions and animal behaviour. Drawing on case studies from ecological research in India and ritual practices in Thailand, the authors examine how camera traps transform methodologies across the natural and social sciences and ask what these technologies reveal about animal responses to human presence and the cognitive underpinnings of their behavi…
Chapter 1. Political and affective ecologies of human-elephant relations
Introduction Relations between humans and elephants are ancient and ever-evolving. Histories and geographies of the land have been co-constituted through material and affective relations between humans and elephants, especially across Asia and Africa (Sukumar, 2003; Trautmann, 2015). The colonial expansion by Europeans also co-opted the abilities of these tropical giants into Western modes of accumulation and dispossession, remnants of which are …

Lainé, N. Living and Working with Giants: A Multispecies Ethnography of the Khamti and Elephants in Northeast India. Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (Natures en Sociétés; 2), Paris. 2020. (pp. 272) Paperback (ISBN 978-2-85653-928-6) price unknown Recent scholarship in human-nonhuman multispecies relationships across the social sciences and humanities—often conceptualised as more-than-human lifeworlds—has been increasingly influencing the bio…
Making Urban Environments
As scholars from the fields of history, anthropology and animal studies, as well as landscape planning and management, we discuss various forms of urban and urbanising infrastructures and their political entanglements. Questioning and illuminating how various actors and their practices build and shape urban environments, we address topics ranging from the black soldier fly - used as biotechnological infrastructure to manage waste - to other nonhu…
Cultivated, feral, wild
This paper seeks to rethink the urban as an ecological formation. It argues that contrary to an emphasis on the built environment, articulated through refrains of capital, planning and design, cities are lived achievements, emerging through fabrications between human and other-than-human forces. Ecological formations are fleshed out in three modes: ecologies that involve the cultivated, feral and the wild. There are distinct forms of urban govern…
Mental health ecologies and urban wellbeing
How might urban mental health be understood when animals reconfigure human wellbeing in the lived city? Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork on people and macaques in New Delhi and forging novel conversations between urban studies, ecology and psychiatry, our ontology of urban mental health moves from lived experience of the built environment to those configured by dwelling with various interlocutors: animals, astral bodies and supernatural curren…
Sharing from the Same Bowl
Animating the urban
Urban animals and their political ecologies constitute an arena of geographical scholarship that has intensified in recent years. Yet, little headway has been made in terms of understanding how sentient creatures inhabit and negotiate dynamic, metabolic environments. Focusing on urban macaques in Indian cities, the paper develops a conversation between geography and ethology. Firstly, the conversation provides insights into what urbanisation migh…
Quaternary climate change and social behavior shaped the genetic differentiation of an endangered montane primate from the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau
Multiple factors, including climate change, dispersal barriers, and social behavior influence the genetic structure of natural populations. While the effects of extrinsic factors such as historical climatic change and habitat topography have been well studied, mostly in temperate habitats, the simultaneous effects of intrinsic factors such as social behavior on genetic structure have rarely been explored. Such simultaneous effect, however, may pa…

The Macaque Connection
Most successful among the non-human primates in terms of geographical distribution and adaptability to ecological habitats, macaques have existed for many thousands of years in close contact with modern humans, the only primate more successful than them. Centuries-old literary works attest to the fact that macaques have always been an intrinsic part of human lives and imaginations. In their interactions with humans, macaques play multiple roles t…

Winter ecology of the Arunachal macaque Macaca munzala in Pangchen Valley, western Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India
The newly described Arunachal macaque Macaca munzala occurs largely in sub‐tropical to temperate environments at elevations of c. 1,800–3,000 m in Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India. We studied its over‐wintering strategy by comparing the diet, ranging, and behavior of a troop of 24 individuals during winter and spring (December 2005 to May 2006) through instantaneous scan sampling (3,002 records, 448 scans, 112 hr of observation). We also mon…
Resource distribution and group size in the common langur Semnopithecus entellus in southern India
We investigated the influence of resource abundance and distribution on the group size and composition of the common langur Semnopithecus entellus in the contiguous forests of Bandipur National Park, Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary and Nagarahole National Park in southern India. We also explored any additional effect of predator pressure and the risk of take‐over on the same attributes. Data on group composition and vegetation were collected from Ja…
