雄性黄山短尾猴颅骨变量的异速生长研究

对雄性黄山短尾猴颅骨标本的36项主要形态变量指标进行定点测量,并进行了初步的统计分析和异速生长分析。结果表明,大多数变量的统计值在雄性个体间的变化范围都比较大,2/3的变量表现为正的异速生长,1/3的变量表现为负异速生长。颅骨变量的生长存在年龄及部位间的差异,这些差异与雄性的不同生长发育时期、在社群中的不同地位和竞争压力以及取食习性有关。

Allometry of cranial variables of male Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana)at Mt.Huangshan,China

36 major cranial variables of male Tibetan macaques（Macaca thibetana） at Mt.Huangshan were measured by located method.All of the data were calculated by primary statistic analyse and allometric analysis of SPSS software Version 13.0 for Windows.The results indicate that the majority of the statistical value of the cranial variables are difference significantly among the male individuals.Two thirds of the variables are positive allometry,and the others are minus allometry.There are obviously different growth rates amongst ages and sections of cranial.The differences are related to individual development,competitive forces,food habit and the ranks of male in the social group.
