FOREWORD

Phayre’s leaf monkey, a primate species inhabiting moist evergreen forests in north-eastern India is
severely threatened by habitat fragmentation and degradation. For species threatened with extinction in
their natural habitats ex-situ conservation offers an opportunity for ensuring their long-term survival.
The Central Zoo Authority (CZA) in collaboration with zoos in India has accordingly initiated a
conservation breeding program for the species in Indian zoos.

Ensuring long-term genetic viability and demographic stability is critical for the management of the
captive population. Pedigree information contained in studbooks forms the basis for this management.
As a part of this endeavor a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the Wildlife Institute
of India for compilation and update of studbooks of selected species in Indian zoos.

As part of the project outcomes the WII has compiled the ‘National studbook for Phayre’s leaf monkey
(Trachypithecus phayrei) in Indian zoos: II Edition’. The recommendations contained in the studbook
form the basis for the long term management of the species in captivity. It is hoped that the zoos
housing Phayre’s leaf monkey will adopt the recommendations for ensuring effective management of
the captive population.

PHAYRE’S LEAF MONKEY

(Trachypithecus phayrei)

Species Information
The Phayre's leaf monkey or Phayre's langur is a medium-sized Colobine found in the tropical forests of
Southeast Asia. The species epithet commemorates Arthur Purves Phayre. It is one of the most
enigmatic and least known primate species found in India. Like other leaf monkeys it is characterized
by a ruminant-like digestive system.

Taxonomy
Phylum Chordata
Sub-phylum Vertebrata
Class Mammalia
Order Primata
Family Cercopithecidae
Sub- family Colobinae
Species Trachypithecus phayrei

The genus Trachypithecus is the most diverse langur taxon, distributed in southwestern China, south
and southeastern Asia. There are 3 known sub-species namely, Trachypithecus phayrei phayrei
(Bangladesh, India), T. p. crepuscula (Southwestern China), T. p. Shanicus (Southwestern China and
northeastern Myanmar). Recent genetic analyses have demonstrated that T. p. crepuscula and T. p.
phayrei do not form a monophyletic clade. T. p. phayrei from India is the sister taxon of T. barbei and T.
obscurus, but T. p. crepuscula from Vietnam represents a distinct lineage, being a close relative of the
T. francoisi species group (Karanthet al. 2008; Nadler et al. 2003). He et al. (2012) suggest a sister
relationship of T. p. shanicus and T. p. Phayrei while T. p. crepuscula may represent a distinct species
throughout its distribution range, although incongruence between nuclear and mitochondrial genes
suggests that hybridization may have occurred with T. p. phayrei (He et al. 2012).

Morphology
The species is easily identified in the field by a distinct white patch seen around the eyes and on upper
and lower lips (Choudhury 1987). This is also why they are often referred to as spectacled langurs.
They are greyish to black in colour. Their brow, hands and feet are jet black, and their upper arms, legs
and tail are silvery grey (Rowe 1996).

 NATIONAL STUDBOOK PHAYRE’S LEAF MONKEY (TRACHYPITHECUS PHAYREI) – II EDITION

The sexes are alike and females are larger. The head to body length ranges from 44 – 61 cm in males
and from 65 – 86 cm in females. The tail constitutes 68 % of the overall length, ranging from 65 to 86
cm (Choudhury 1987). The average body mass of an adult male Phayre's leaf-monkey is around 7.3
kilograms, and for the female it is around 6.2 kilograms (Fleagle 1988). Male Phayre's leaf monkeys
can be distinguished from females in the field by observing differences between ocular markings. In
males, the white ocular rings around the eyes are parallel to the side of the nose, resulting in a black
strip uniform in width. In females, the white ocular rings around the eyes bend inwards toward the nose
causing more of black triangular shape (Bhattacharya and Chakraborty 1990). Other than newborns,
individuals have an extended cap of hair on the head (Srivastava 1999). Infants are orange colored that
begins to change after 3 months of age (Srivastava 1999).

Distribution
Phayre’s leaf monkeys (Trachypithecus phayrei) occur in eastern Bangladesh, south-western China
(southern, western and central Yunnan), north-eastern India (Assam, Mizoram, and Tripura), Lao PDR,
Myanmar, Thailand (north of the peninsular zone) and northern Vietnam (Groves 2001).

The species has three subspecies occupying

different ranges
 Trachypithecus phayrei phayrei: This sub
species is found in Bangladesh, north-
eastern India (Assam, Mizoram, and
Tripura), and western Myanmar (Groves
2001).
 T. p. crepuscula: This subspecies is found in
Bangladesh, southern China, south western
Laos, central and north western Thailand,
and northern Vietnam (Groves 2001). In
Bangladesh this subspecies occurs to the
south of the range of the subspecies T. p.
phayrei (Groves, 2001).
 T. p. shanicus: This subspecies is found in Figure 1: Distribution of Phayre’s leaf monkey
southwestern China in the Yingjiang-Namting River and Tunchong- Homushu Pass districts and
northern and eastern Myanmar (Groves 2001).

Habitat
Phayre's leaf monkeys are primarily arboreal and prefer primary and secondary evergreen and semi-
evergreen forest, mixed moist deciduous forest, but are also found in bamboo-dominated areas, light
woodlands, and near tea plantations. In thick evergreen forests, Phayre’s leaf monkeys can be found
15 to 50 m above the ground. In areas lacking primary and secondary forests, this species depend on
bamboo and small shrubs like Macaranga denticulata and the herb Alpinia allughas (Choudhury, 1987,

Page | 2
 NATIONAL STUDBOOK PHAYRE’S LEAF MONKEY (TRACHYPITHECUS PHAYREI) – II EDITION

1994, 1996). Phayre's leaf monkeys may also be found along stream banks containing thick bamboo
forests (Bose 2003). In Mizoram this species was found in secondary forests and a dense bamboo
forest with few scattered trees (Raman et al., 1995). In Bangladesh this species lives in semi-evergreen
forests and semi-deciduous/evergreen forests (Feeroz et al., 1995; Gittins and Akonda, 1982). In Lao
PDR, the species occurs mostly in forests with a heavily broken canopy and tall bamboo (Timmins et al.
2011).

Behavioural ecology
Activity patterns
Phayre's leaf monkeys are very shy and typically flee when threatened. Resting and feeding are the
predominant activities of the species (Koenig et al. 2004). Phayre's leaf monkeys are strongly territorial
against other groups of the same species, although sympatric groups of other species may share the
same territory.Gupta (1997) studied the activity patterns of the species and reported the activity budget
to be dominated by feeding (41.7%), followed by resting (28.3%), travelling (8.2%), while other activities
such as grooming, calling, playing, suckling, aunting, etc. accounted for 21.8%. The activity budget of
the species reported from southern Assam by Bose and Bhattacharjee (2002) was dominated by
feeding (39.4%), followed by resting (34.4%),travelling (14.8%), grooming (7.2%),playing (1%) while
time spent in miscellaneous activities such as comfort movements accounted for 3.2% of the time.
Activity starts with a bout of feeding starting before dawn, while noonday heat is avoided by resting in
shady trees followed by a second bout of feeding late in the afternoon (Choudhury 1994).

The daily distance travelled is more than 1 kilometre per day while the home range for the species in
Thailand is on average 87.7 ha (Koenig et al. 2004). They are also known to visit salt licks and
significantly increase their home range on such occasions (Pages2005).Phayre's leaf-monkeys are
sympatric with capped langurs, (Trachypithecus pileatus) in the West Bhanugach Reserve Forest of
Sylhet, Bangladesh (Feeroz et al., 1995) and in Rajkandi Reserve Forest where they feed in the same
or adjacent trees (Stanford, 1988). They rest in trees with extensive branching and moderate shade
(Artocarpus chaplasha, Gmelina arborea, Albizia chinensis, Melocanna baccifera, Melocanna
bambusoides, Bambusa tulda or Acacia mangium) (Aziz and Feeroz 2009) preferring a height between
8 to 29 meters (Gupta 2002).

Foraging and feeding behaviour

Their diet consists of fibre rich foliage, shoots, petioles, leaves, flowers and buds with Leguminosae
and Moraceae providing the highest proportion (32%) of their food. They feed during early morning
(0600-0800 hrs) and in the late afternoon (1400-1600 hrs) (Aziz and Feeroz 2009). Like other colobine
monkeys they have a unique digestive system, analogous to that of ruminants, which allows them to
exploit foliage as a food source.Their diet comprises of young and matures leaves and shoots (66%),
followed by flowers and buds (16%) and fruits and seeds (14%) with a noticeable seasonal variation in
their diet(Aziz and Feeroz 2009). Aziz and Feeroz (2009) observed that Phayre’s leaf monkeys in
Bangladesh consume more leaves during winter (76%), fruits and seeds during monsoon (57%) and

Page | 3
 NATIONAL STUDBOOK PHAYRE’S LEAF MONKEY (TRACHYPITHECUS PHAYREI) – II EDITION

flowers and buds are consumed mostly during summer (41%). However, bamboo shoots form a
significant part (19%) of their diet throughout the year. Various observations from India and Myanmar
also stress the importance of shoots of tall bamboos (for example, Melocanna) in this leaf monkey’s
diet (Green 1978, Mukherjee 1982, Choudhury 1994a, 1994b, Gupta and Kumar 1994, Raman 1996,
Srivastava 1999, 2006, Platt et al. 2010). Bose and Bhattacharjee (2004) reported that plants like
Havea brasiliensis (67.4%), Delonixregia (5.8%) and Acacia auriculiformis (4.3%) contribute more than
75% of the annual diet of the species in Tripura. Bose and Bhattacharjee (2002)observed that in
Tripura the species has changed its food habits to include twigs and leaves of Havea brasilensis or
rubber tree which are also used for night roosting. Exotic plant species also form an important part of
their diet (24.3%) (Gupta and Dasgupta 2004).

Phayre’s leaf monkeys divide into sub-troops during foraging and feeding particularly when food is
scarce, but maintain close association among the dispersed members through visual and vocal contact.
Although they primarily feed in trees, they are also reported to spend a large amount of time feeding on
climbers and epiphytes (Suarez 2013). They occasionally come close to the ground when consuming
bamboo shoots or soil, or when drinking water (Suarez 2013).

Social organization and behaviour

Phayre’s leaf monkeys live in groups containing 1–5 adult males and 3–12 adult females (Koenig and
Borries 2012). They have group density of 3.4 groups/square kilometre in Thailand (Borries et al. 2008)
while in Tripura the group density is 7.6 groups/square kilometres (Gupta and Kumar 1994).Groups are
generally cohesive, but individuals or subgroups may occasionally range >300 m apart (Lu et al. 2012).
Phayre’s leaf monkeys show a linear dominance hierarchy in their social organization with unidirectional
and transitive relationships (Koenig et al. 2004), similar to those observed in other colobines (Borries et
al. 1991; Koenig 2000). The adult females in the group are ranked inversely to age. Younger adult
females occupy the highest rank; older adults occupy the middle ranks while sub-adult females are
found at the bottom of the hierarchy (Koenig et al. 2004). Adult females of this species are known to
show dispersal (Borries et al. 2004; Koenig et al. 2004). Male immigration or infanticide is not seen in
this species (Borries et al. 2008). On the contrary the males frequently associate and occasionally care
for infants and also act as mediators on behalf of infants, if the infants are involved in conflicts with
females (Koenig et al. 2004). It is a territorial species and defends
its territory against conspecific groups. However, inter-group aggression has not been observed (Gupta
2000). Most of the interactions consist of displacements rather than overt aggression or submissive
signals (Koenig et al. 2004).

Mating patterns in Phayre’s leaf monkeys range from polygynous to promiscuous, depending on the
composition of the group (Lu et al. 2012). Males are philopatric and begin mating with adult females as
adolescents. Once they are adult, young males commonly outrank older adult males (Koenig and
Borries 2012). In females sexual swellings are absent (Nunn 1999). Menstrual cycles are 30 days long,
on average (Lu et al. 2010). In Phayre’s leaf monkeys females show a preference for mating with adult

Page | 4
 NATIONAL STUDBOOK PHAYRE’S LEAF MONKEY (TRACHYPITHECUS PHAYREI) – II EDITION

males during post ovulatory period (POP) while they choose to mate with adolescents during the pre-
conceptive period (PC) (Lu et al. 2012). Proceptive behaviour during mating includes female
presentation and head shaking toward any adolescent or adult male. Attractive behaviour includes male
solicitations and inspections of female hindquarters. Receptive behaviour includes copulations (mount
with intromission) as well as attempted copulations (mounting only) (Sommer et al. 1992).
Displacement events such as a male displacing another male involved in a sexual encounter, or a male
approaching a female directly following termination of mating and the female subsequently leaving and
vocalizing are common forms of agonistic behaviour in Phayre’s leaf monkeys (Lu et al. 2012). Females
in larger groups reproduce at a slower pace and have lower reproductive rates as compared to those in
smaller groups (Borries et al. 2008).

Table 1: Life history traits of Phayre’s leaf monkeys (Trachypithecus phayrei)

Mating System Multi-male-multi-female groups (Koenig and Borries 2012)
Breeding season December-April (peak) (Borries et al. 2005)
Average gestation period 205.3 days (Lu et al. 2010)
Weaning age (mean) depending on group size (small to large)- 18.3 to 21.4 months (Borries
et al. 2008)
Inter birth interval 22.3 6 ± 3.99 months (Borrieset al. 2011)
Age at first reproduction 5 years; 5.3 years (female) (Ossiet al. 2006; Borries et al. 2011)
Lifespan in captivity 28.3 years (maximum) (Weigl 2005)

Phayre’s leaf monkeys give birth throughout the year with a mean gestation period of 205.3 days (Lu et
al. 2012). At the time of first birth, female Phayre’s leaf monkeys are at an average of 5.3 years of age
(Borries et al. 2011). The inter-birth interval following a surviving infant is at an average of 22.3 ± 3.99
months (median= 23.0, range = 14–32, n= 40) with a notably large range of 18 months (Borries et al.
2011). Females give birth to one offspring at a time, which is nursed for almost a year, which greatly
increases its chance of survival. Mothers are the main caregivers as they feed, protect and groom
newborns. Adolescents tend to keep contact with their mothers, even after she gives birth to additional
offspring (Larney et al. 2007).

Both male and female Phayre's leaf monkeys use vocal calls for communication. A loud l- "kahkahkah"
alarm call is used by adult males while a softer "whoo" call is used when adult males detect a predator
within the area (Srivastava 1999). The "cheng-kong" call is emitted by the dominant male to bring the
group together (Srivastava 1999).

Population status in the wild

The Phayre’s leaf monkey population is small and isolated in India and Bangladesh (Choudhury 2001;
Molur et al. 2003). The status of Phayre's leaf monkey in Lao PDR is localized due to hunting pressure
and habitat fragmentation, and it inhabits three national protected areas. In Vietnam the species is rare
and there are records only from a handful of areas (Nadler et al. 2004). In Thailand, there are good

Page | 5
 NATIONAL STUDBOOK PHAYRE’S LEAF MONKEY (TRACHYPITHECUS PHAYREI) – II EDITION

populations in Nam Nao National Park and Phukhio Wildlife Sanctuary (Borrieset al. 2002), but much of
northern Thailand has been hunted out. In China, healthy populations of T. p. shanicus survive mainly
in Gaoligongshan Nature Reserve and Tongbiguan Nature Reserve, and healthy populations of T. p.
crepuscula survive mainly in Nangunhe Nature Reserve, Ailaoshan Nature Reserve, Wuliangshan
Nature Reserve, Daxueshan Nature Reserve, Huanlianshan Nature Reserve, and Xishuanbanna
Nature Reserve (Zhang et al. 2002). Overall, the population is declining globally and is predicted to
decline further (Molur et al. 2003).

Threats and conservation measures

The species is threatened by habitat fragmentation and human interference especially due to the
establishment of tea gardens and paper mills, timber plantations, livestock ranching, shifting agriculture,
firewood collection, charcoal production, and human settlement (Molur et al. 2003). Interspecific
competition from exotics, pollution, inbreeding, and local trade in the animals for zoos and as food are
other threats faced by the species (Molur et al. 2003).

The species is listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2008) because its
population is at risk of becoming extinct or threatened by anthropogenic activities. It is also listed as
CITES Appendix II species in order to control the illegal trade in the region. Further, it is given priority in
national legislation as being listed under Schedule I, part I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act
(amended up to 2002). In Bangladesh it is listed as Schedule III in the Bangladesh Wildlife
(Preservation) (Amendment) Act, 1974. It is listed as Category I under wildlife Protection Act, 1989 in
China, and has been a completely protected species in Myanmar since 1994, though a priority for this
species is survey work in order to determine the current status of populations there. It is listed on
Appendix 1B of Decree 32 (2006) in Vietnam.

Besides in-situ conservation measures the species has been identified by the Central Zoo Authority
(CZA), India, as one of the 73 species for conservation breeding in Indian zoos. The co-ordinating
institution for the conservation breeding of Phayre’s leaf monkey in India is Sepahijala Zoological Park,
Agartala.

Methods
Pedigree data was collected by means of mailed questionnaires sent to zoos requesting information for
each captive specimen and from ZIMS (Zoological Information Management System, 2014). Data was
entered in Single Population Analysis and Records Keeping System (SPARKS v 1.66) (ISIS 2004) and
subsequently exported to population management program PMxv 1.2 (Ballou et al. 2010) for further
data analysis.

Scope of the Studbook

 The studbook includes all specimens present in Indian zoos for which records were available
from holding institutions. The same was validated from the CZA inventory (2017 – 2018) and
ZIMS platform of the Species360 website.
 The data provided by holding zoos (as of 30April 2018) was included in the SPARKS database.
It; however differs from information included in the CZA inventory for 2017 – 2018 (Table 1)
and uploaded by holding institutions on the ZIMS platform.
 The mnemonics present in the SPARKS software were used as names for individual
institutions; while for those institutions for which mnemonics were not present in the SPARKS
Software, mnemonics were assigned based on their location listed on the CZA Website and the
same are listed in the location glossary (Appendix IV). The mnemonic India was used for all
specimens acquired from the wild.

Analysis

Demographic Status
Historical Population
The studbook includes a total of 47 (15.21.11) specimens that have been housed at two Indian zoos.
The first recorded entry of the species in captivity was at Sepahijala Zoological Park in 1997, with a wild
origin female being acquired by the zoo, the first male entered captivity in 1999. Growth in the
population has been due to both the acquisition from the wild and captive births. The recent past has
witnessed an increase in the number of animals born in captivity. Wild origin specimens; [23 (11.12.0)]

Age Distribution
Age distribution of 22 (7.15)
known age and sex living
specimens indicates a female
bias. The living population
includes 24 (6.12.6) animals in
reproductively active age classes
(5 – 17years Figure 4). An
additional 5 (1.1.3) specimens of
pre-reproductive age are also
present in the population, while 2
females are reproductively
senescent. The presence of a
large proportion of the population
in the reproductively active and
pre-reproductive age classes and
female bias indicates its capability
for rapid growth. The population;
however, remains unstable due to Figure 4: Age distribution of known age specimens
the absence of specimens in several age classes in both sexes.

Genetic Status
Table 6 summarizes the genetic status of the living population. Analysis indicates that it originates from
12 founders although the 23 (11.12) wild origin specimenswere included population since inception.
The living population of 31 specimens retains 91.98% of the genetic diversity brought in by 12 founders

Box 1: Mate Suitability Index (MSI)

It is a numerical genetic assessment of a male-female pair that incorporates several variables into one ranking (MSI range
is 1 to 7, with 1 being the most genetically beneficial).
The default value in the table is the MSI (Mate Suitability Index) value for each male –female pair. MSI is a composite
score that integrates four genetic components into a single index:
Delta GD (dGD): Change in gene diversity (GD) of the population if one offspring is produced by the pair. Positive dGD
increases the GD of the population, while negative dGD decreases GD.
Differences in MK values (MKDiff): Difference in the genetic value (mean kinship value) of the male and female.
Breeding a pair with a large MKDiff is detrimental because it combines under-represented and over-represented genetic
lines.
Inbreeding coefficient (F): Inbreeding coefficient of any offspring resulting from the pair (i.e., the kinship value for the
pair). Inbreeding is considered to be detrimental to the fitness of the resulting offspring.
Unknown ancestry: The amount of unknown ancestry in the male and female. Incomplete pedigree information means
that the genetic value and relatedness of a pair cannot be accurately calculated.
1 = very beneficial (genetically) to the population;
2 = moderately beneficial,
3 = slightly beneficial;
4 = slightly detrimental,
5 = detrimental, should only be used if demographically necessary
6 = very detrimental (should be considered only if demographic considerations override preservation of genetic
diversity)
“-“= very highly detrimental (should not be paired, due to high level of kinship of pair)
Using Pairwise Info
The default table of MSI values for pairs can be used to quickly assess the relative genetic value of a pair, subset of pairs,
potential mates for one individual, and many other valuable data when making breeding recommendations. This can be
especially helpful to quickly explore options for pairing individuals at one facility that houses numerous individuals of each
sex or to quickly identify an alternative suitable mate if a recommended breeding fails.

Targets for Population Management

The current captive population of Phayre’s leaf monkey includes 31 (7.15.9) individuals. It includes 11
(3.8) wild origin specimens while retaining the founder genome of 12 founders. The population is
currently increasing with a λ of 1.012 per annum. The population retains a significant proportion of
genetic diversity (91.98% introduced from 12 founders). Individuals comprising the population are
distantly related (Mean Inbreeding: 0.000 and Population mean kinship: 0.0802). The small size of the
current population and presence of a large proportion of individuals at a single location necessitate
management interventions to ensure rapid population growth.

Multiple simulations were run using PMx to determine the fate of the current population for assessing
the effect of management interventions that result in an increased population growth rate desired for
achieving demographic stability and supplementation with effective founders for ensuring genetic
viability; over the next 100 years. The outcomes of the scenarios that were run without change and with
changes (supplementation with effective founders and increasing the population growth rate) that
ensure a genetically viable and demographically stable population over the next 100 years are
presented below.

Scenario I:
The simulation was run using the current population variables without supplementation with additional
animals while increasing the current population size (31) to a maximum of 150 individuals. The
outcomes indicate that the population in captivity is unlikely to achieve conservation goals and would
retain only 63% of the genetic diversity introduced by the 12 founders. The population variables used
and the outcomes of the simulation are presented in Figure 5.

Scenario II:
The outcomes of the simulation that was run using a population growth rate of 1.050 and a maximum
population size of 150 specimens with supplementation by one effective founder every 4 years can
ensure achievement of conservation goals. The population is projected to retain90.4% of the genetic
diversity of the present founders and those used for supplementation while ensuring a demographically

Conclusions and Recommendations

Phayre’s leaf monkey continue to face threats to their long term survival in their natural habitats across
their distribution range and are accordingly listed in the Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of
India. The threats faced by the species remain operational and the populations across their range are
showing a declining trend. Maintenance of demographically stable and genetically viable ex-situ
populations is thus crucial for ensuring the continued survival of the species.

A review of the status of the current captive population in Indian zoos based on analysis of available
pedigree records indicates that the population is growing at a slow rate (λ = 1.012). The population
remains biased towards females with a limited number of proven breeders, with a small population size.
It retains a significant proportion of the genetic diversity (91.98%) of 12 founders currently represented
in the population. The founder genome is unequally represented as is indicated by the founder genome
equivalents (6.23) with a low level of relatedness (F = 0.000; MK = 0.0802) in the current population.

Simulations run using PMx software indicate that supplementation with oneeffective founder every four
years with the present population growth rate and increasing the population to 150 specimens can
ensure that the population remains viable over the next 100 years.

Management interventions aimed at increasing the present size of the captive population and creation
of additional species specific infrastructure to house the growing population can ensure achievement of
ex-situ conservation goals for the species.
