		Three Rhinopithecus roxellanaes play in the trees at Xiangguqing, the south strip of Baimangxueshan nature reserve in Yunnan Province.
		A group of almost 400 Rhinopithecus roxellanaes and scores of families of Lisu Ethnics coexist in the area for a long time.
		A patrol group of four farmers was set up a few years ago in order to protect the Rhinopithecus roxellanaes and their habitats in the forest.

	Conservation Frontlines: China Shows Commitment to Golden Monkeys
		But we are very concerned about the future of Vietnam's only Rhinopithecus, the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus avunculus), now down to about 300 animals due to habitat destruction and hunting pressure for food and medicinal purposes.
		By employing some of the same methodologies developed by the Chinese to help their golden monkey populations – long-term research, ecotourism, a strong commitment to establishing protected areas, and preventing hunting – we may be able to succeed in Vietnam as well.
		Golden monkeys of China (Rhinopithecus roxellana) live in groups of 300 or more in temperate forests located as high as 13,000 feet.

		All agree that Asia has multiple genera of colobines, including Rhinopithecus (snub-nosed langurs—one species is known as the Chinese golden monkey) and Nasalis (proboscis monkey).
		A variety of social organizations characterize the Old World monkeys, but all are intensely social, spending all their lives in social groups except for brief periods of transfer between groups (Dittus 1980).

		The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus (Presbytiscus) avunculus) is a slender-bodied, sexually dimorphic, arboreal, critically endangered primate, endemic to northern Vietnam.
		The primary goal is to elucidate information on the species’ social organization and behaviour, feeding ecology, and habitat and range use.
		The information gathered will result in conservation and management recommendations for the species and its habitats and further add to the body of knowledge on the genus Rhinopithecus as a whole, and on R.(P.) avunculus specifically.

		The biosphere reserve is situated in the Chinese Subtropical Forest biogeographic region and its altitude ranges from 480 to 2,570 meters above sea level.
		It is known for its large protophyte forests, the only well-preserved primitive forest ecosystem on the same latitude in the world, as well as for its endemic golden monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi) population.
		Some 1,100 people live permanently in the core area and 15,000 in the buffer zone of the biosphere reserve (1999) which is situated in one of China’s poorest areas.

	Doucs and Snub-nosed Monkeys
		Such a paper leads to confusion, and a lowering of confidence in the scientific merit of the entire book, which reflects somewhat unfairly on the other authors.
		Also unfortunate are the large number of typographical errors, particularly in evidence in Judith Caton's paper (whose otherwise intriguing analysis of stomach characters links Pygathrix with Nasalis and Rhinopithecus with Procolobus).
		The book contains a valuable synthesis by Craig Kirkpatrick on the ecology of Rhinopithecus and Pygathrix, which includes a very useful appendix of weights and measures.

	Birth time decides the mating seasonality in primates
		Several factors, such as photoperiod, temperature, rainfall and vegetation, endogenous circannual rhythms and social synchrony (Vandenbergh, 1973; Van Horn, 1980; Lindburg, 1987), have been argued as proximate or ultimate factors governing the mating peak.
		However, Based on our three-year observations of matings and ten-year records of births in captive Sichuan golden monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana), and on consulting all studies for which reproductive phenomena were the primary focus, we propose that the birth time is a more likely cause of the mating peak in primates.
		Sichuan golden monkeys have been kept in the Beijing Breeding Center of Endangered Animals since 1987.
