Kashmir Gray Langur

rdfs:comment

The Kashmir gray langur (Semnopithecus ajax), is a species of gray langur in the Cercopithecidae family. It has been reported from northern India west into Pakistani Kashmir and in Nepal, but evidence indicates it only occurs within a single valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Northern plains gray langur and is one of several Semnopithecus species named after characters from The Iliad, along with the Tarai gray langur and Tufted gray langur.

n27:abstract

The Kashmir gray langur (Semnopithecus ajax), is a species of gray langur in the Cercopithecidae family. It has been reported from northern India west into Pakistani Kashmir and in Nepal, but evidence indicates it only occurs within a single valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Northern plains gray langur and is one of several Semnopithecus species named after characters from The Iliad, along with the Tarai gray langur and Tufted gray langur. The Kashmir gray langur is considered to be endangered. This is due to its restricted range, fragmented population, and threats from human agriculture and development activities. It is arboreal and diurnal, and lives in several types of forests at altitudes between 2200 and 4000 meters. The birthing season for the Kashmir gray langur runs from January through June, although almost half of all infants are born in March.[4] The infants are weaned at a higher age than most Asian colobines. While most Asian colobines wean their young within the first year, Kashmir gray langurs wean their young on average at 25 months. This is apparently due to nutritional constraints, since monkeys in poorer sites wean their young at an older age. The interbirth interval for females is about 2.4 years. Alloparental care occurs in Kashmir's gray langur for up to 5 months. Males are usually protective of infants, but infanticide occasionally occurs. Although most Asian colobine groups contain only a single adult male and multiple females, multimale groups are known to occur within Semnopithecus species. With Kashmir's Gray Langur, multimale groups may include as many as five adult males.[4] Females initiate copulation by soliciting a male, but not all solicitations result in copulation.
