Effect of Food Availability on the Ranging Behavior of Wild Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) in Montane Forest
Vocal Repertoire of Free‐Ranging Infant and Yearling Tibetan Macaques ( Macaca thibetana )
Vocal signals are the primary means of communication for most nonhuman primates. Quantitatively describing the vocal repertoire of specific species at specific age stages is a crucial step in studying their vocal communication, and it also provides a foundation for understanding the development and use of primate vocal signals. This study is the first attempt to establish a vocal repertoire for wild infant Tibetan macaques based on quantitative m…
Wild Tibetan Macaques Use a Route‐Based Mental Map to Navigate in Large‐Scale Space
Many animals face significant challenges in locating and acquiring resources that are unevenly distributed in space and time. In the case of nonhuman primates, it remains unclear how individuals remember goal locations and whether they navigate using a route‐based or a coordinate‐based mental representation when moving between out‐of‐sight feeding and resting sites (i.e., large‐scale space). Here, we examine spatial memory and mental map formatio…
Self‐Directed Behaviors Prior to Approaching Conspecifics in Wild Tibetan Macaques ( Macaca thibetana )
Self‐directed behaviors (SDBs) are commonly used as reliable indicators of anxiety, frustration, and stress in nonhuman primates. These behaviors are typically observed in stressful situations, such as being in close proximity to dominants or during post‐conflict. However, there is limited evidence on whether individuals increased their SDBs before engaging in potentially risky behaviors. In this study, we used a focal sampling method to record a…
Behavioral adaptation in an adoptive free-ranging female Tibetan macaque
Current distribution of two species of Chinese macaques ( Macaca arctoides and Macaca thibetana ) and the possible influence of climate change on future distribution
Predicting the spatial distribution of species and suitable areas under global climate change could provide a reference for species conservation and long‐term management strategies. Macaca thibetana and Macaca arctoides are two endangered species of Chinese macaques. However, limited information is available on their distribution, and their habitat needs lack proper assessment due to complicated taxonomy and less research attention. In recent yea…
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…
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…
