笼养藏猴交配行为的初步研究

本文对笼养藏猴交配活动的观察表明:1.Macaca thibetana属多次跨爬及单次跨爬射精兼而有之的类型,而非典型的单次跨爬射精型;2.在交配活动中,特别是在性伙伴的选择上,雌性和雄性一样起着积极的作用;3.M.thibetana雌性存在性干扰行为,并且雌性的社会地位可能受其交配活动影响。

PRELIMINARY STUDY ON COPULATORY BEHAV IOR OF A CAPTIVE GROUP OF Macaca thibetana

The mating activities of a captive group of Macaca thibetana was observed with all occurrence method. The aim of this paper is to discuss the copulatory behavior pat- tern of the species, the role played by females in mating activities, and other aspects related to mating activities. The conclusions are 1) M. thibetana is both the multiple-and single-mount ejaculator, rather than the typical single-mount ejaculator; 2) females, like males, play an active role in the mating activity, particularly in the choice of mating partner; and 3) there exists sexual harassment by females of M. thibetana when copulation occurs. The social rank of females may be affected by their mating activities.
