This volume addresses the critical gaps in our understanding of long-tailed macaque population ecology, a species widely distributed across Southeast Asia and frequently interacting with human societies. Agustin Fuentes, a renowned primatologist, synthesizes current research on Macaca fascicularis, detailing their ecological presence in both natural and anthropogenic environments. The book explores the complex dynamics of human-macaque coexistence and presents innovative strategies for mitigating human-macaque conflict throughout Asia, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive population studies.

This book is positioned as a key resource for primatologists, anthropologists, and conservationists, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive population studies on common macaques. The work provides a detailed look at research on the underexplored species Macaca fascicularis, exploring the contexts and consequences of human-macaque sympatry. It also discusses innovative programs aimed at resolving human-macaque conflict across Asia, supplemented by case studies offering valuable insights into specific field research.
