Abstract

Studies were made of the habitat selection of 50~60 stump-tailed macaques (Macaca thibetana) from March 2013 to February 2014 in Maoxiangba region which is geographically located in 104°46' E, 32°35' N in Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve. Thirteen ecological factors were measured in 96 plots where the macaque group ever stayed. These factors included vegetation types,tree density,DBH (diameters of breast height of trees), tree height, canopy cover, shrub coverage, geographical positions, altitude, slope aspects, slope degrees, slope position, the distances to water and the distances to human disturbances. The results indicated that stump-tailed macaques preferred to inhabit evergreen and deciduous broadleaf mixed forests,and deciduous broadleaf forests,whose DBH usually was 20 cm~30 cm and the mean tree height was 11 m~20 m, and the canopy cover was not lower than 20%. They chose altitudes from 1 500 m to 2 000 m,whose forests grew in the slope face of mountains where the slope degree is 20°~40°. This macaques group had not restrict demands for the distances to water and human disturbances.
