Abstract: In Anhui province, Thibetan and Rhesus monkeys were found to be distributed to the south of Changjiang.The Thibetan monkeys were limited to the hill areas between 600 and 1,500m above sea level, while the Rhesus monkeys ranged from the plains to higher areas except the areas occupied by the Thibetan monkeys. The habitat preference of the Thibetan monkeys for higher altitudes may be dependent upon the occurrence of rocky cliffs and evergreen broad-leaved forest. The distribution of both species was reduced by strong human impact, but if the habitat is well protected, their population density should approach the population level of the Huangshan mountains. The boundary between the distributions of both species may reflect the general form of the ecological relations.

摘要： 短尾猴(Macaca thibetana)和猕猴(Macaca mulatta)在安徽省的分布见于长江以南,短尾猴限于海拔600—1500米的山地,而猕猴则从平地一直分布到没有短尾猴占据的较高山地。短尾猴所选择的栖息地海拔高度较高,并决定于是否有悬崖和常绿阔叶林。两种猴的分布区,都因人类的严重干扰而缩小。但是,如果其栖息地得到很好的保护,它的种群密度可以接近黄山的水平。两种猴之间的分布界限也反映了它们生态关系的一般形式。
