武陵源风景区猕猴种群结构和繁殖参数
Population structure and reproductive parameters of rhesus macaque in Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot
摘要
Abstract
Among the six extant subspecies of macaques in China,the Fujian subspecies(Macaca mulatta littoralis)is one of the subspecies that has received relativeiy less attention.In this study,we investigated the population size,mating and birth seasons of rhesus macaque in the Wulingyuan area of Hunan Province through field tracking surveys based on indi-vidual identification.The results are as follows:(1)There are 18 monkey groups,with an average group size of 47.78±22.51,with ranging from 16 to 79 individuals.The overall sex ratio(male/female)is 1∶1.57.The sex ratio for adult in-dividuals is 1∶2.47,for sub-adult individuals is 1∶3.25,for adolescent individuals is 1∶1.08,and for infant monkeys is 1∶1.05.(2)Copulation events with ejaculation occur between October and February of the following year,with the highest mating frequency observed in November.(3)The distribution of birth events is from March to June,with a peak from April to May.The average birth date is 28th April,and the median birth date is 1st May with a standard deviation of 19.11 days.These results indicate that the rhesus macaque in study area is seasonality and conforms to the pulse model;(4)The birth rate is 66.27％,the mortality rate is 1.80％,and the growth rate is 18.09％.The results can provide basic da-ta for research on the ecology,behaviour and conservation biology of macaques in Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot.关键词
