Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 1999.

Some species of monkeys in the genus Macaca are able to thrive in human altered habitats leading to their designation as "weed macaques." This research is a socioecological study of one species, the Bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata). It compares the feeding and social behavior of two groups inhabiting the Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary, India: one wild and one town-dwelling. In addition to behavioral observations, people were interviewed and questionnaires were distributed inquiring about people's view of monkeys.

520 $a Some species of monkeys in the genus Macaca are able to thrive in human altered habitats leading to their designation as "weed macaques." This research is a socioecological study of one species, the Bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata). It compares the feeding and social behavior of two groups inhabiting the Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary, India: one wild and one town-dwelling. In addition to behavioral observations, people were interviewed and questionnaires were distributed inquiring about people's view of monkeys.
520 $a Over one thousand hours of observations were collected in the form of instantaneous scan samples. Phenological data on trees known to be part of their diet were collected to establish seasonal differences in food availability. A total of fifty questionnaires and ten interviews were obtained.
520 $a The results indicate that certain behaviors change in a human commensal environment; specifically, movement, autogrooming, allogrooming, feeding on human or natural foods, agonism, submission, sex, play and reactions to people. Some of these behaviors were attributed to group size differences, however, after correcting for this difference, most social behaviors still differed, suggesting they are due to commensalism.
520 $a In contrast, certain aspects of social life did not change. Who an animal chooses as a neighbor and how close they sit did not significantly differ. Substrate use was influenced by the physical features of each groups' habitat. The commensal animals were restricted to using artefacts of the town, while the wild group had a variety of trees.
520 $a People tended to feed monkeys out of feelings of compassion and pity rather than overt religious reasons, such as monkeys being representations of the monkey-god, Hanuman. Most of the recorded interactions between people and monkeys in the town were positive or neutral. Rarely did people act aggressively towards the monkeys, although they did need to alter their behavior to make living with monkeys less troublesome, such as carrying sticks.
520 $a Even though primarily tolerant, people admit that monkeys can be a problem. Some possible solutions are mentioned. The phenomenon of monkey human interactions are not new to South Asia and could have utility in conservation efforts.
