| Research Abstract |
Phylogeny and interspecific competition were studied for macaques in South Asia. A wide range of Himalayan region was occupied by the western subspecies of Assamese macaques including a postulated new species of Arunachal macaques in India. Those in Bhutan and Nepal showed variation in the habitat segregation with rhesus macaques. Phylogeographical relation revealed by mtDNA study suggested that speciation of toque macaques in Sri Lanka from bonnet monkeys in India was old and there are two distinctive groups of monkeys, one in highland and the other in lowland, in the island.
