Pan et al. (2011) found only small to moderate proportions of 13 individuals to exhibit hand preference across a variety of tasks. There was little gender difference: although females used the right hand significantly more than males for reaching and carrying, subjects showed overall symmetrical use of hands for this task. All subjects used the right hand significantly more often than equal left- and right-hand use for object manipulation and extractive foraging; they also used the right hand more, but without statistical significance, for extractive foraging, which requires bimanual coordination (Pan et al. 2011). No left-handed individuals were identified in this small sample. The right-handedness for object manipulation in

At the individual level, handedness was not consistent among postures (Pan et al. 2013).

bands usually travel in single-file to sleeping and feeding sites, avoiding open areas, often following known trails in a regular sequence, according to seasonal phenology of food resources (Wu et al. 1988; Wu 1993). Bands spend several hours at a foraging area before travelling to another, or to a sleeping site, so that by satellite telemetry, foraging and sleeping sites appear as clusters of point locations (Ren et al. 2008).

(2012a) observed 12 fissionfusion events during 5 years of study of the band at Xiangguqing (Samage Forest), which had grown to 480 individuals by 2008; 11 of these events also involved fission and subsequent fusion of the all-male unit, with transfer of males between subbands. All splits were during JuneJuly and occurred in a forest of bamboo, a preferred food. JuneJuly is after the birthing season when lactating females have high energy demands. In each case, the band split into 2 subbands of different but not greatly disparate sizes that moved independently for 211 days. No aggression or other unusual behaviors were seen at the time of the splits, and predators or anti-predator behavior were not observed. The investigators concluded that the fissions allowed more efficient exploitation of a limited food source, while fusions allowed more band-level social cohesion when food sources were more evenly distributed (Ren et al. 2012a). Nevertheless, 1-male units defend feeding patches from other units within a band; observed depletion of feeding patches suggests the potential for competition for food resources and may imply a food-based limitation on carrying capacity (Grueter et al. 2009).</paragraph>

. Male allocare, ranging from carrying to guarding infants, peaks during the early spring, an energetically stressful season when food is scarce and parturient females are lactating, and ebbs in late summer, when female allocare increases (Xiang et al. 2010b). Xiang et al. (2010b) interpret the males allocare and the females willingness to relinquish their infants to male care, as an adaptive response to a highly seasonal, high-elevation environment that promotes survival of infants and mothers.

(2014) found that a duplication of genes for pancreatic RNase (encoded by RNASE1) in colobines (needed to digest and recover nutrients from the high concentrations of bacterial RNA derived from the symbiotic microflora in the stomach) occurred in 1 mutation event in the ancestor of extant colobines; however, they also found RNASE1 pseudogenes in all studied Asian colobines that were not present in African colobines, and inferred that the retrotransposition event occurred after the African-Asian colobine split, but before the divergence of extant Asian genera.

The difference appeared to be that the last 2 sites were near and within a sacred mountain (Damyon Garpo), respectively, and the 1st was not (although all are within a national nature reserve). Mountains may be designated as sacred by a “living Buddha” or Rinpoche, within limits prescribed by tradition and according to wishes of a local council.
