¹The climatic variables encompass the geographic ranges by species for this specific sample, although the six species represented in this study inhabit regions beyond these ranges.
²In this table and all subsequent tables, the following abbreviations designate each species: A: Assamese macaques, F: long-tailed macaques, J = Japanese macaques, M: rhesus macaques, N: pig-tailed macaques, and T: Tibetan macaques.
³Altitude in m above sea level.
⁴Latitude in degrees from the Equator. Negative values indicate southern latitudes.
⁵Lowest mean monthly temperature in degrees Celsius.
