Assamese Macaque: Ecology and Social Dynamics

The rapid forest degradation has affected the primate habitat in general and the forest dwelling Assamese macaque in particular. This adversely affects the ecology of the species and forces them to lead a provisioning life. This book briefs about the comparative aspect of ecology and socio-behaviour of the provisioned and forest groups of Assamese macaque in order to understand the origin and patterns of stress and their effect on the species keeping in mind the holistic approach of conservation.
