1997/1998年对广西扶绥珍稀动物保护区白头叶猴的生态学进行了研究，1996-1997年和2003年进行了调查。我们收集了石灰岩丘陵上不同层次的植被碎片和白头叶猴活动的数据。叶猴选择的栖息地不那么破碎，人类干扰较少。他们花了CA。60%的时间在较低水平的山在维护活动，包括喂养。当人类不在的时候，叶猴甚至来到了地面。山丘本身被用作人类干扰的避难所，但不是其他必要的栖息地。本研究结果对于改善黑叶猴的保育管理具有重要的参考价值。
We studied the ecology of white-headed langurs(Trachypithecus leucocephalus)in Fusui Precious Animal Reserve, Guangxi, China, in 1997/1998 and conducted surveys of them in 1996–1997 and 2003. We collected data on vegetation fragments and the activities of white-headed langurs at different levels on limestone hills. The langurs selected less fragmented habitats with less human disturbance. They spent ca. 60% of the day at lower levels of the hills during maintenance activities, including feeding. When humans were absent, the langurs even came to the ground. The hills themselves were used as a refuge from human disturbance but were not otherwise essential habitat. Results of this study have implications for improving conservation management for the langurs.
