ABSTRACT Data on habitat use of wild animals facilitate conservation management and further our understanding their environmental adaptations. We collected data the utilization 16 groups Assamese macaques ( Macaca assamensis ) in limestone forests Guangxi, China, to explore pattern seasonality these macaques. Our results showed that cliffs were most frequently used hill parts by macaques, followed flat zones, hillsides, hilltops. The during resting moving, whereas hillsides zones as main feeding sites. Patterns seasonally varied. Specifically, frequency cliff was lower rainy season than dry season. Besides, occurred more zones. dietary composition affected parts, indicating consumption young leaves positively correlated with passively related hillsides. Moreover, ecological factors had impacts use. hilltops increased decreased day length temperature dropping. availability flower fruit also key affecting utilization. conclude composition, length, availability, are determinants for highlighting importance shaping behavioral adaptation unique forests.
