Primates
of Southeast Asia |
|
|
|
Worldwide there
are more than 450 species of primate. In
Southeast Asia, as of 2016, there are 98 species recognised, comprising 19
species of prosimian (represented in the region by Lorises and Tarsiers), 57
species of Old World Monkey (including macaques, and colobines such as
lutungs, surilis, doucs and others), 18 species of gibbon and
4 great apes
(including humans). In evolutionary terms, prosimians are considered
to represent ancient lineages of primate, and great apes the most advanced.
Ecologically, primates play an important role as seed dispersers in the
region's forests. |
