A small number of primate species including snub-nosed monkeys (colobines), geladas (papionins) and humans live in multilevel societies (MLSs), which multiple one-male polygamous units (OMUs) coexist to form a band, non-breeding males associate bachelor groups. Phylogenetic reconstructions indicate that the papionin MLS appears have evolved through internal fissioning large mixed-sex groups, whereas colobine aggregation small, isolated OMUs. However, how agonistic maintain tolerance under...
In mammals characterized by a mating system in which single male monopolizes reproduction, infanticide is reported to occur following take-over, often resulting females returning oestrus more rapidly than if their infant has survived. However, over the course of 17-year study golden snub-nosed monkeys, Rhinopithecus roxellana, polygynous colobine species, we found no behavioural or suspected evidence infanticide. Based on social network and genetic analyses, that half infants were sired as...
In primate species with social systems consisting of one-male breeding units (OMUs), resident male takeover represents a major challenge to individual reproductive success and mating strategies. The golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is characterized by large multilevel societies (MLS) comprised several OMUs all-male (AMUs); however, the factors mechanisms associated takeover, which offer important insight into reproduction strategies, are still poorly understood. Based on...
Comparative studies of subspecies under different ecological environments offer insights into intraspecies evolutionary adaptive mechanisms. Golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) include three in China classified mainly by their morphological variations: R. r. roxellana (Sichuan and Gansu province), qinlingensis (Shaanxi province) hubeiensis (Hubei province). These live isolated area with environments. Past works focused on the last two subspecies, but little information...
Abstract Both natural conditions and anthropogenic factors affect the survivability, distribution, population density of wildlife. To understand extent how these drive species distributions, a detailed description animal movement patterns in habitats is needed. In this study, we used satellite telemetry to monitor elevational ranges favored by endangered golden snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ), Qinling Mountains, central China. We investigated abundance distribution food...
An all-male band of golden snub-nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ) was observed for 3 months in the Qinling Mountains China, order to collect data on frequencies and contextual significance male-male mounting behaviour. Mounts occurred a variety affiliative, dominance-related sexual contexts, which differed depending upon ages males involved. Mounting behaviour this group mainly initiated by adults. Juveniles mounted each other affiliative contexts (during play prior grooming). Adult...
In Brief Effective management of sexually transmitted diseases is one the cornerstones HIV control and provides a unique opportunity for targeted education about prevention.
Same-sex mounting behavior has been documented across primate species and several biological functions, that are often difficult to differentiate, have proposed. Postmounting affiliative behaviors (e.g., embracing grooming) partly overlooked their performance may more clearly reveal the function of same-sex mounts for different age-sex classes. Here, considering postmounting grooming (PMG), we tested affiliation hypothesis in an all-male unit (AMU) captive golden snub-nosed monkeys...
The evolutionary development and phylogenetic division between Asian African cercopithecoids (Cercopithecidae) have attracted significant attention in genetics, molecular biology, behavior, morphology. However, less emphasis has been placed on how they evolved morphologically after divergence, approximately 10 million years ago (mya) for Colobinae 5–7 mya Cercopithecinae, corresponding to the variation diversity landscape, climate, habitat, ecologies two continents. This study examines...
Abstract Facial expressions in nonhuman primates are complex processes involving psychological, emotional, and physiological factors, may use subtle signals to communicate significant information. However, uncertainty surrounds the functional significance of facial animals. Using artificial intelligence (AI), this study found that exhibit undetectable by human observers. We focused on golden snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana ), a primate species with multilevel society. collected...
Abstract Natal dispersals are male-biased in most Old World monkey species, especially those that polygynous. We examined patterns of male dispersal golden snub-nosed monkeys, which offspring mainly disperse as juveniles from their natal one-male units (OMUs) to a bachelor group. However, out total 112 2001–2016, we documented six cases remained OMU until sub-adulthood. Based on monitoring dynamics, found were more likely delay if the tenure leader males was lengthy. Social network analysis...
