Seasonal Variations in Habitat Use are Associated With Food Availability Changes in Assamese Macaques () Inhabiting Limestone Forest.

Data on habitat use of wild animals facilitate conservation management and further our understanding of their environmental adaptations. We collected data on the habitat utilization of 16 groups of Assamese macaques () in the limestone forests in Guangxi, China, to explore the pattern and seasonality of habitat use of these macaques. Our results showed that cliffs were the most frequently used hill parts by the macaques, followed by flat zones, hillsides, and hilltops.

Captivity restructures the gut microbiota of François' langurs ().

Gut microbiota is crucial to primate survival. Data on the gut microbiota of captive and wild animals can provide a physiological and ecological basis for the conservation of rare and endangered species. To study the effect of captivity on the gut microbiota, we examine the difference in the gut microbiota composition between captive and wild Francois' langurs (), using 16S rRNA sequencing technology.
