Evolutionary geography of macaques in Continental Asia : dispersal and diversification

阐明了亚洲大陆猕猴的地理变异、通过位置行为和生境偏好的适应而形成的生态隔离机制以及通过社会行为形成的生殖隔离机制。在恒河猴中，我们认识到印度支那西部和东部种群是不同的形式和确定的杂交条件。对于阿萨姆猕猴、北方猪尾猕猴和残尾猕猴，尽管它们的形态基本相似，但我们发现了各自种群中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.
