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…
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…
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…
