Evolutionary geography of macaques in Continental Asia : dispersal and diversification

阐明了亚洲大陆猕猴的地理变异、通过共域物种的位置行为和栖息地偏好适应而产生的生态隔离机制以及通过社会行为而产生的生殖隔离机制。在恒河猴中，我们认识到西印度支那种群和东印度支那种群是不同的杂交形式和确定的条件。对于Assamese猕猴、北方猪尾猕猴和短尾猕猴，虽然它们的形态基本相似，但我们发现了各自物种组中物种或亚种之间的地理差异和系统地理关系。

Geographical variation, ecological segregation mechanism through adaptations in positional behavior and habitat preference among sympatric species, and reproductive isolation mechanism through social behavior were clarified for Asian continentalmacaques. Within rhesus macaques we recognized western and eastern Indochina populations as distinct forms and determined conditions of hybridization. For each of assamese, northern pig-tailed and stump-tailed macaques, though with generally similar morphology, we found geographical variations and phylogeographic relations between species or subspecies in respective species groups.
