Nutrient Balancing by Captive Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana)
The role of kinship in the formation of a primate multilevel society
A small number of mammalian species live in a modular or multilevel society in which several individual social/reproductive units called one‐male units (OMUs) are embedded within a large cohesive band. Factors that affect band composition and stability are poorly understood. In this study we examined the role of kinship in the formation and maintenance of a multilevel society in an endangered population of golden snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecu…

Social play behavior in infant Sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ) in Qinling Mountains, China
We describe the development of social play behavior and assess factors influencing the development of play in infant Sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ). Infant snub‐nosed monkeys began to exhibit social play at 3 months of age, when they spent an average 0.89% of time engaging in this behavior (range: 0.7–1.12%). At 6 months of age, there was a significant increase in the proportion of time spent in social play, averaging 9.78…
Sexual interference in the golden snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus roxellana )
Sexual interference (SI), which is defined as any disturbance directed to a mating pair by other individuals, has been reported in several primate species. It is widely suggested that successful harassers experience improved mating success by increasing their access to reproductive partners as well as by reducing the mating success of rivals. Although theories of primate sexual conflict highlight male intra‐sexual mating competition, females also…
The mating system of the Sichuan snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus roxellana )
This article reports the first genetic study of the mating system of the Sichuan snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ), an endemic and endangered species in China. The investigation was carried out in a population (WRT) in the Qinling Mountains using data from both field observation and paternity analysis through microsatellite DNA profiling. During a mating season, a male on an average copulated with 5.7 females. Approximately 18% of the…
Social dynamics of the golden snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus roxellana )
Among primates that form multilevel societies, understanding factors and mechanisms associated with the movement of individuals between groups, clans, and one‐male social units offers important insight into primate reproductive and social strategies. In this research we present data based on an 8‐year field study of a multilevel troop of Sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ) in the Qinling Mountains of China. Our study troop cont…
Hand preference during unimanual and bimanual reaching actions in Sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana )
Hand preferences were investigated during one unimanual action (food‐reaching) and one bimanual action (mount‐reaching) in a semi‐free‐ranging group of Sichuan snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ) in Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve, Qinling Mountains of China. Nine of 14 individuals tested on the unimanual food‐reaching action and all six individuals tested on the bimanual mount‐reaching action exhibited a manual preference. Both signif…
Reproductive parameters of wild female Rhinopithecus roxellana
On the basis on 6 years of observation, we estimated the reproductive parameters of a Golden snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ) group in the Qinling Mountains, China. We observed 88 births in 47 females from 2001 to 2006. Two methods were used to calculate the birthrate. The first method is based on the number of births observed in a year, giving 0.49±0.07 (mean±SD), and the second method is based on the female‐years of observation, gi…
