		As in other species of the genus Macaca, it is likely that these animals use a combination of visual (facial expression, body postures), auditory (vocalizations), physical (grooming, play, mating, aggression) and possible chemical (olfactory) signals as a part of their repertoire of communication.
		Macaca fascicularis may be an important predator in its ecosystem, and may have some impact on prey species.

	Allen Quip Provokes Outrage, Apology - washingtonpost.com
		At a campaign rally in southwest Virginia on Friday, Allen repeatedly called a volunteer for Democrat James Webb "macaca." During the speech in Breaks, near the Kentucky border, Allen began by saying that he was "going to run this campaign on positive, constructive ideas" and then pointed at S.R. Sidarth in the crowd.
		Todd added that the use of macaca, whatever it means, and the reference welcoming Sidarth to America were clearly intended to make him uncomfortable.
		Asked what macaca means, Allen said: "I don't know what it means." He said the word sounds similar to "mohawk," a term that his campaign staff had nicknamed Sidarth because of his haircut.

		Allen later apologized to anyone who was offended by the word which he claimed to have made up in reference to the 20-year-old's hair-cut which he thought looked like a mohawk.
		"Macaca" is used by some cultures as a slur against African immigrants or can also refer to a genus of monkey.
		"According to two Republicans who heard the word used, 'macaca' was a mash-up of 'Mohawk,' referring to Sidarth's distinctive hair, and 'caca,' Spanish slang for excrement, or 'shit,'" reported National Journal's Hotline.

	Virginia: Much Ado About "Macaca" - The Fix
		Stop focusing on whether or not he knew what "macaca" means (which he probably did, and how does one mistake a mullet for a mohawk anyway, what a lame-ass excuse that is) - start focusing on the fact that he welcomed this guy to America.
		Putting the "macaca" term aside, the fact that he welcomed him to America (Siddarth is native Virginian) just because of his looks is more proof of his beliefs.
		Worse than macaca (which I have hardly ever heard, so it sounds like gibberish), his comment "welcome to Virginia" was anti-immigrant...that is even more offensive to me as it was anti-american.

	Problems of Prioritizing Primate Species for Captive Breeding in Indian Zoos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Groves (2001) recognizes 3 subspecies of the Rhesus macaque: Macaca mulatta mulatta which is found in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma; Macaca mulatta villosa which is found in India in Southern Kashmir, Northern Punjab and Kumaon; and Macaca mulatta vestita distributed in India in Khafristan and Chitral.
		Macaca assamensis assamensis is found in India, north along Dihang or middle Brahmaputra and Macaca assamensis pelops is found in Central Nepal and Sikkim in India, northernmost West Bengal and the Sunderbans.
		Both Macaca assamensis have been categorized Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List 2000, and as Endangered in the 2002 CAMP workshop therefore, sorting out its fate with regard to the different subspecies should be a higher priority than for the other macaques with very numerous species in zoos.

	George Allen's biggest problem isn't racial insensitivity. - By John Dickerson - Slate Magazine
		Depending on whom you talk to, Macaca is either the genus for a type of monkey found mainly in Asia, a town in South Africa, or a racial slur used against African immigrants.
		Macaca sounded like the fraternity TV-room appellation for "funny-looking foreigner." That wasn't what the former governor had in mind at all, protested Allen's campaign.
		Whatever the meaning of macaca has been, the word may come to be defined as the doomed dance a candidate performs while watching his presidential hopes flame out.

		According to the Post, "macaca" refers to a type of monkey (actually a genus; "Makaka" is a town in South Africa).
		Also, Atrios notes that the term "macaque" -- the English name for monkeys in the macaca genus -- is an established racial slur that is pronounced similarly to "macaca" (one of the pronunciations is ma-käk).
		On Monday, Allen spokesman Dick Wadhams said the name "Macaca" was a variation of "Mohawk," the nickname Allen campaign staffers gave Sidarth for his partially cropped haircut.

		Macaca is a derogatory term for dark-skinned people in the part of the world that Allen's mother happens to have emigrated from.
		Macaca (also written as macaque) is a dismissive epithet used by Francophone colonials in Africa for native populations of North and Subsaharan Africans.[1] It is derived from the name of the genus comprised of the macaque primates.
		Allen has stated that he did not intend the remark as a slur, while his campaign variously insisted the word was either a play on mohawk [10] or a portmanteau word combining the words mohawk and caca to indicate shithead.[11] However, Sidarth maintains that his hairstyle was not a mohawk, but a mullet hairstyle.

	A senator's macaca moment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		For those who've somehow slept through the Sturm und Drang surrounding Allen's recent use of the word "macaca," the story is this: He was stumping in Virginia with about 100 fans when he decided to recognize a young volunteer for his Democratic opponent, James Webb.
		Allen has apologized for hurting Sidarth's feelings, while his spokespeople have said that "macaca" was a made-up word Allen's staff created as a way of referring to the interlocutor.
		Another version holds that macaca is a combination of the "mo" in "mohawk" and "caca," Spanish for what often follows the English word "bull" when one is unconvinced of another's sincerity or truthfulness.
