Abstract

Data are presented on group size, composition, and reproductive rates of nine free-ranging rhesus monkey groups inhabiting different habitats in India, based on 7,300 observation hours spread over 1975-1980. Analysis suggests that groups increased in size irrespective of the habitat occupied.

Keywords: forest and urban habitats; free ranging; macaca mulatta; population dynamics; rhesus monkey; tropical and arid biomes.
