Abstract Information about wildlife diets is crucial for comprehending how species adapt to varying environments in fragmented habitats and developing effective conservation strategies. White‐headed langurs ( Trachypithecus leucocephalus ) are exclusively found limestone forests southwestern China. To investigate the effects of habitat fragmentation on langurs' diets, we collected published dietary data relevant environmental factors spanning from 1996 2021 at two regions with different degrees (Banli > Bapen), 10 studies (three Banli seven Bapen). The results demonstrated that white‐headed were significantly influenced by factors, including fragmentation, annual rainfall, mean temperature.

Abstract Over the course of human history, people have translocated plant and animal species, often with profound consequences. Understanding how endangered species adapt to human-mediated migration novel environments is crucial inform conservation strategies. The crested macaque ( Macaca nigra ), an endemic primate North Sulawesi (Indonesia), faces imminent extinction in its native range due anthropogenic threats. While extensive research on this has been conducted Duasudara Nature Reserve Sulawesi, critical knowledge gaps persist regard their distribution outside protected area beyond. Previous studies report that macaques were introduced by humans Maluku ~200 hundred years ago. In 2023, we visited Bacan, Kasiruta, southern Halmahera Island, conducting interviews, surveys, direct observations determine presence or absence these islands. We encountered wild feces at 23 locations across islands pet 6 Bacan. confirm Bacan also them Kasiruta south Halmahera, results our interviews suggesting might be present for ~500 years. found no evidence Mandioli. Additionally, documented behavioral similarities, e.g., loud calls specific male macaques. Our extend known shedding light potential populations contribute survival species.
