Sex Differences in Vigilance Functions of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana)
Thanatological Events and Scavenging on the Carcass of a Black Snub‐Nosed Monkey ( Rhinopithecus strykeri )
The responses of nonhuman primates towards conspecific deaths in the wild, and the activities of carnivores scavenging the corpses, are different but interconnected thanatological and ecological aspects of wildlife mortality. We report the first thanatological events observed in a wild, multilevel group of Myanmar or black snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus strykeri [ R. strykeri ]) and mesocarnivores scavenging on a monkey carcass in the Pianma …
Investment in science can mitigate the negative impacts of land use on declining primate populations
Changes in land use and the conversion of natural forests to agricultural fields and cattle pastures are threatening the survival of many species of wild animals, including nonhuman primates. Given its almost 1.4 billion people, China faces a difficult challenge in balancing economic development, human well‐being, environmental protection, and animal conservation. We examined the effects of poverty, anthropogenic land use (cropland and pasture/gr…
Validation of a Fecal T3 Metabolite Assay for Measuring Energetics in Wild Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana)
Reproductive strategy of bachelors in a snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) all-male unit
Cafeteria‐style feeding trials provide new insights into the diet and nutritional strategies of the black snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus strykeri )
Anthropogenic changes and fragmentation of natural habitats often exert a negative effect on resource availability and distribution, and the nutritional ecology and feeding behavior of nonhuman primates. The goals of this study are to examine food choice and to identify the nutritional profile of foods consumed by the Critically Endangered black snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus strykeri ). To accomplish our study goals, we presented cafeteria‐st…
Seasonal changes in social cohesion among males in a same‐sex primate group
Male-male interactions in mixed-sex groups of social mammals are typically characterized by a mix of hostility and affiliation, as a result of inherent conflicts over mating opportunities, and the costs and benefits of social alliances, co-operative behaviors, and coalitionary defense. In species of nonhuman primates that form all-male groups, it is still unclear how the tradeoffs between the benefits of forming an all-male group and the cost of …
Male Infanticide in the Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana), a Seasonally Breeding Primate
Preliminary Study of the Newly Discovered Primate Species Rhinopithecus strykeri at Pianma, Yunnan, China Using Infrared Camera Traps
Males collectively defend their one‐male units against bachelor males in a multi‐level primate society
Group-level male-male co-operation, which has been documented in several primate and non-primate societies, may be mutualistically advantageous to the participants when confronted with threats such as takeovers and cuckoldry by external males. Co-operation among members of distinct social units-while universal among humans-is extremely rare in non-human primates. We present the first observations of collective action or co-operation among males o…
Evidence of male‐biased dispersal in the endangered Sichuan snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithexus roxellana )
Although sex-biased dispersal has profound effects on the viability of small and isolated populations resulting from habitat change and anthropogenic disturbance, the direction and strength of sex-biased dispersal in the endangered Sichuan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithexus roxellana) remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated dispersal patterns of R. roxellana using 15 polymorphic microsatellite loci. Using noninvasive methods we obtained 33…
Sleeping Tree Selection of C ao V it Gibbon ( N omascus nasutus ) Living in Degraded Karst Forest in B angliang, J ingxi, C hina
We studied the sleep‐related behavior of two C ao V it gibbon ( N omascus nasutus ) groups in B angliang N ature R eserve in J ingxi C ounty, C hina between J anuary 2008 and D ecember 2009 to test four hypotheses related to sleeping tree selection (predation avoidance, thermoregulation, food access, and range defense). Gibbons entered sleeping trees 88 ± SD 37 min before sunset before their main potential nocturnal predator become active. They u…
Diet and Feeding Behavior of Rhinopithecus brelichi at Yangaoping, Guizhou
Expectations of increases in human population growth and accelerated habitat loss, along with the realization that efforts to provide protection for ecosystems that sustain primates have met with limited success, make it critical that conservation plans are grounded firmly in scientific observation. Studies of the diet breadth and feeding behavior of endangered species, therefore, are critical for understanding ecological adaptations and developi…
Habitat selection of black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) in Tibet
As anthropogenic habitat changes are often considered a threat to natural ecosystems and wildlife, a sound understanding of the effects of habitat alteration on endangered species is crucial when designing management strategies or performing conservation activities. Black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) are categorized as endangered on the IUCN Red List and are endemic to the trans‐Himalayas in China. At present, there are on…
Fallback foods of temperate‐living primates
Only a few primate species thrive in temperate regions characterized by relatively low temperature, low rainfall, low species diversity, high elevation, and especially an extended season of food scarcity during which they suffer from dietary stress. We present data of a case study of dietary strategies and fallback foods in snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) in the Samage Forest, Northwest Yunnan, PRC. The snub‐nosed monkeys adjusted inta…
Social organization of black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) at Deqin, China
Data on social organization of two bands of black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) were collected when the monkeys were crossing an open spot at Nanren and Bamei (northwest of Yunnan, China) using a sampling rule where individuals within one social unit are spatially closer to each other than individuals between social units. The typical pattern of social organization in this sample was multiple adult females (AFs) and their o…
Diet and feeding behavior of Rhinopithecus bieti at Xiaochangdu, Tibet
The diet and feeding ecology of a wild subpopulation of black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) were studied at Xiaochangdu in Honglaxueshan Nature Reserve, Tibet. This region is climatologically harsher than any other inhabited by non‐human primates. Black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys fed on 48 parts of 25 plant species, at least three species of lichens and seven species of invertebrates. The number of food items exploited va…
First direct evidence of infanticide and cannibalism in wild snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti )
Although infanticide has been witnessed in many species of Colobinae, and a case was observed in a captive group of golden snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ), observed cases of infanticide in wild snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus spp.) have not previously been recorded. Here we describe the killing of a 1‐month‐old infant by a male in a black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkey ( R. bieti ) group at Xiaochangdu in Tibet. The infanticidal at…
