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.
