Variations of Gut Protistan Microbiome in Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) Across Captive, Semi-provisioned, and Wild Environments
Insights Into Variations in the Gut Virome of Tibetan Macaques ( Macaca thibetana ) Across Wild, Captive, and Semi‐Provisioned Environments
Viruses are integral components of the mammalian gut ecosystem, playing crucial roles in regulating the gut microbiome and maintaining host health. However, the impact of human activity on the gut virome of mammals remains poorly understood. This study investigated the gut viromes of Tibetan macaques ( Macaca thibetana ), a primate species endemic to China, under three distinct human‐influenced environments (wild, semi‐provisioned, and captive) u…
Effect of Food Availability on the Ranging Behavior of Wild Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) in Montane Forest
Exploring the Associations Between the Gut Microbiome and Mating Behavior in Free-ranging Male Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana)
Behavioral adaptation in an adoptive free-ranging female Tibetan macaque
Social strategies used by dispersing males to integrate into a new group in Tibetan macaques ( Macaca thibetana )
In group‐living mammals, an individual's fitness depends, in part, on the quality of social relationships it has with others. Among species of nonhuman primates in which one sex is philopatric, individuals of that sex often develop strong social bonds and alliances with closely related kin. Less is known regarding the social processes used by dispersing adults to form stable bonds with nonkin in their new group. From May to December 2009, April t…
Fermented food consumption in wild nonhuman primates and its ecological drivers
OBJECTIVES: Although fermented food use is ubiquitous in humans, the ecological and evolutionary factors contributing to its emergence are unclear. Here we investigated the ecological contexts surrounding the consumption of fruits in the late stages of fermentation by wild primates to provide insight into its adaptive function. We hypothesized that climate, socioecological traits, and habitat patch size would influence the occurrence of this beha…
Grooming networks reveal intra- and intersexual social relationships in Macaca thibetana
Season, age, and sex affect the fecal mycobiota of free‐ranging Tibetan macaques ( Macaca thibetana )
Recent studies highlight that the gut mycobiota play essential roles in mammalian metabolic and immune systems, but to date we lack information on the forces that naturally shape the gut mycobiota of wild primates. To investigate the contributions of host and environmental factors in the taxonomic variation of the gut mycobiota, we examined the effects of age, sex, and season on the fecal mycobiota in wild-living Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetan…
Social rank versus affiliation: Which is more closely related to leadership of group movements in Tibetan macaques ( Macaca thibetana )
Research on leadership is a critical step for understanding collective decision making. However, only 4 of the 22 extant macaque species have been examined for the impact of social rank and affiliation on the initiation of collective movement. It is far from clear whether such impact exists and, if so, how it works among other macaques. To answer these questions, we investigated free-ranging, Tibetan macaques' (Macaca thibetana) group departures …
Grooming reciprocity in male Tibetan macaques
In several primate species, adult males are reported to compete for access to reproductive partners as well as forming affiliative and cohesive social bonds based on the exchange of goods or services. We hypothesized that among a broad set of fitness-maximizing strategies, grooming can be used by individual adult males to enhance social relationships through reciprocity and/or through the interchange of grooming for a different but equivalent goo…
First occurrence of twins in provisioned free-ranging Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Huangshan, China
Grooming Reciprocity in Female Tibetan Macaques Macaca Thibetana
Grooming among nonhuman primates is widespread and may represent an important service commodity that is exchanged within a biological marketplace. In this study, using focal animal sampling methods, we recorded grooming relationships among 12 adult females in a free‐ranging group of T ibetan macaques ( M acaca thibetana ) at H uangshan, C hina, to determine the influence of rank and kinship on grooming relationships, and whether females act as re…
