Among China's 25 species of nonhuman primates, 70% have a remaining wild population of <3000 individuals. Thus, protecting China's threatened primate populations is a national priority (Estrada et al., 2017; Li et al., 2018). We found that in the case of the endangered R. bieti (current population size of <3000 individuals), the collection of forest products by local villagers and the conversion of forest into pasture land for grazing cattle have resulted in severe fragmentation of natural

Correlational models are widely used to predict changes in species' distribution, but generally have failed to address the comprehensive effects of anthropogenic activities, climate change, habitat connectivity and gene flow on wildlife sustainability. Here, we used integrated approaches (MAXENT model, circuit model and genetic analysis) to assess and predict the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities on the distribution, habitat connectivity, and genetic diversity of an endangered primate, Rhinopithecus bieti, from 2000 to 2050. We created six scenarios: climatic factors only ...
