This facility serves as a natural laboratory for the in-depth study of a free-ranging rhesus macaque population, providing unparalleled opportunities for long-term behavioral and ecological research. Here, scientists can study primate behavior, social structures, and genetic evolution in a controlled yet wild setting, thereby contributing vital insights into the natural behaviors that underpin primate and human biology. Supported by a comprehensive demographic database starting from 1956 and systematic genetic records from 1990 and older animals, the station's resources significantly boost the research capacity.
