Between December 1974 and November 1975 (157 days), it was found that seasonal home range changes in the Shiga C troop were
closely related to food changes, vegetation, and the existence of neighbouring troops. The detailed points clarified may be
summarized as follows: (1) The seasonal home range sizes from winter to autumn were 1.23 km2, 1.46 km2, 1.69 km2, and 1.21 km2, respectively, and the annual size was 3.66 km2; (2) The food changed from bark and buds of trees in winter to young leaves and stems of grasses and trees in spring and
summer, and fruits in autumn; (3) Each home range clearly changed according to the phenology of the plants used as food at
each season; (4) The food abundance for the monkeys was extremely poor in winter, relatively poor in summer, plentiful in
spring, and the best in autumn; and (5) The Shiga C troop and the neighbouring Shiga B2 troop overlap in their home ranges in spring and autumn, but are separated during winter and summer. 相似文献

In the home ranges of the monkeys, the densely utilized food sites (densely utilized sites of food resources ofWada andTokida, 1981) varied over a period of ten years. The Shiga B2 troop changed both its densely utilized food sites and the kinds of tree mostly eaten within the same home range, whereas the Shiga C troop transferred to a new home range. The home range transition of the C troop was influenced by both food deficiencies and the existence of the B2 troop. Based on these facts, it can be said that two types of long-term home range utilization were distinguishable. 相似文献

Wild, habituated, Japanese monkeys were observed from 1975 to 1979 on Yakushima Island, Southern Japan. The monkey troops
had a continuous distribution in a warm temperate forest. Demographic data on local populations was collected. The population
density was 33 animals/km2. The growth rate of the studied troop was 3.0% per year. A significant correlation between home range areas (R) and troop size (P) was found (r=0.955,p<0.005), using anR-P equation,R=1.84P. One troop split into three troops through two successive fissions. Twenty-one intertroop encounters were observed. Five
types of encounters were distinguished. The encounters were apparently territorial defence. Increases in birth rate and socionomic
sex ratio after the fissions were prominent. The following four factors had a direct effect upon the dispersion of the troops
after fission: (1) dominance relation between the fission troops; (2) social pressure of the neighbors; (3) troop's attachment
to its home range; and (4) structure of the environment. The home range of Japanese monkeys is a territory, and territoriality
is a population regulating mechanism which serves to reduce competition for food. 相似文献

We describe the population structure and ranging patterns of a troop of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) based on a study conducted between November 2002 and November 2003 in Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve, Shaanxi Province,
China. The troop comprised several 1-male units and an all-male unit. Opportunistic censuses revealed that there were ≥112
individuals in the troop. The adult sex ratio (male vs. female) was 1:3.7. The ratios of adults to immatures and infants to
adult females were 1:0.7 and 1:2, respectively. Via a grid system, we estimated the home range of the troop to be 18.3 km2, of which 7.4 km2 was the core area. The subjects exhibited distinct seasonal ranging patterns. Their movement across the home range was extensive
in spring and restricted in autumn. In addition, reuse of quadrats was highest in winter and lowest in spring in comparison
with other seasons. The daily path length (DPL) varied from .75 to 5 km, with a mean of 2.1 km. Seasonal analysis showed that
DPL is significantly shorter in winter than in spring or summer; however, there is no significant difference between the DPLs
of spring and summer or those of spring and autumn. The monkeys occupied elevations 1500–2600 m above sea level; the annual
mean of altitudinal range is 2137 m. Contrary to early studies that reported Rhinopithecus roxellana migrates to lower elevations in winter, we found no evidence supporting a seasonal altitudinal shift. Using the highest troop
count and home range estimate, and considering the extent of range overlap between neighboring troops, we calculated the population
density and biomass of Rhinopithecus roxellana to be 7.2 individuals/km2 and 68.3 kg/km2, respectively. The temporal and spatial distribution of food resources may be the most important determinant of ranging behavior
in Rhinopithecus roxellana, though understanding the relationship between resource distribution and seasonal range use may require further investigation. 相似文献

Population changes and home range utilization of the wild Japanese monkey at Mt. Kawaradake have been studied since 1972.
Age compositions of this troop were obtained over a seven-year period. Troop size decreased from over 100 to 40 individuals
as a result of a capture in 1974.
The capture affected directly and indirectly the troop's range and population dynamics. The troop reduced its range size from
4.7 km2 to 2.67 km2 and changed its utilization pattern in relation to the decrease in size. After the capture, the troop used one particular
area intensively, whereas the rhythmic nomadic pattern had been observed as before. This may have been caused by the decrease
in the overall food requirement of the troop.
The birth rate increased significantly after the capture. However, troop size did not increase because of the low recruitment
rate for adult females and the high mortality of juveniles. 相似文献

Anthropogenic habitat alteration can have a dramatic effect on the spatial distribution and ranging patterns of primates.
We characterized the spatial ecology of a free-living troop of chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in a human-modified environment in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa. We used GPS and behavioral observations collected over
1 yr to quantify the troop’s home range size, habitat selection, choice of sleeping site, and foraging patterns. The troop
comprised 115 individuals living in a home range of 9.50 km2, giving a density of 12.1 baboons/km2. Area use correlates positively with exotic vegetation and negatively with indigenous vegetation and altitude. The troop
spent significantly more time in low-lying human-modified environments, i.e., plantations, vineyards, and urban habitat, than
in indigenous vegetation that was largely restricted to steeper slopes at higher elevations. The troop slept exclusively in
exotic trees, 94% of which were located in the plantation, 3% in urban habitat, and 3% in vineyards. The most consumed food
items were exotic grasses, subterranean food items, and exotic pine nuts. The survival and persistence of the focal troop
in close proximity to the urban edge while ≥3 neighboring troops were previously extirpated suggests that access to low-lying
land in conjunction with a land-use practice that does not preclude baboon presence has been fundamental to both their survival
and persistence at such a high density. The almost exclusive use of exotic vegetation both as a food source and as a safe
refuge for sleeping highlights the ecological flexibility of baboons, but the systematic loss of low-lying productive land
poses the single greatest threat to their continued persistence on the Cape Peninsula. 相似文献

study area at Berenty Reserve have maintained fidelity to core areas since Budnitz and Dainis' study of 1972–1973, and for two troops possibly since 1963. Population in 1 km

fluctuated from 155 to 105 to 282 individuals (excluding infants), and the number of troops increased from 12 to 21. Most troops retain the same core areas from year to year (170 observed troop-years). Ten troops derived from known fissions have settled in parts of their parent troop range or an adjacent neighbor's range. Five more troops may derive from similar matrilocal fissioning, inferred from behavior and ranging patterns. One has remained unchanged. Five have unknown parentage, in the ranges of four previously censused troops. Once a fissioned troop completely replaced another, one troop permanently extended its range, three times females joined a different troop, once a female remained nomadic for two years without stable home range. No fissioned troop has been seen to leapfrog others: to settle discontiuously from its parent. Intertroop antagonism may reflect benefits of long-term core area control. 相似文献

A census of wild Yakushima macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui) was carried out in a 23-km2 area of the western coast of Yakushima Island, Japan. We analyzed the census data to investigate changes in monkey distribution
associated with the vertical distribution of vegetation. In the lowland coastal zone of 0–300 m above sea level (a.s.l.),
4.8 troops and 62.4–99.8 monkeys are estimated to have existed per km2. In the mountainside zones of 300–900 m a.s.l., the troop density decreased to 1.3–1.6 troops/km2. Since there was no difference in size between the coastal and mountainside troops, population density should decrease with
altitude to about 30–36 monkeys per km2. On the other hand, 2.4 troops and about 36 monkeys were estimated to have inhabited per km2 in the mountain summit zone of 900–1,323 m a.s.l.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate summer and fall residency and habitat selection by gray whales, Eschrichtius robustus, together with the biomass of benthic amphipod prey on the coastal feeding grounds along the Chukotka Peninsula. Thirteen gray whales were instrumented with satellite transmitters in September 2006 near the Chukotka Peninsula, Russia. Nine transmitters provided positions from whales for up to 81?days. The whales travelled within 5?km of the Chukotka coast for most of the period they were tracked with only occasional movements offshore. The average daily travel speeds were 23?km?day?1 (range 9–53?km?day?1). Four of the whales had daily average travel speeds <1?km?day?1 suggesting strong fidelity to the study area. The area containing 95% of the locations for individual whales during biweekly periods was on average 13,027?km2 (range 7,097–15,896?km2). More than 65% of all locations were in water <30?m, and between 45 and 70% of biweekly kernel home ranges were located in depths between 31 and 50?m. Benthic density of amphipods within the Bering Strait at depths <50?m was on average ~54?g wet wt m?2 in 2006. It is likely that the abundant benthic biomass is more than sufficient forage to support the current gray whale population. The use of satellite telemetry in this study quantifies space use and movement patterns of gray whales along the Chukotka coast and identifies key feeding areas. 相似文献

This paper presents the results of a study on the introduced, free-ranging patas monkey population of Southwestern Puerto Rico (SWPR). It describes information on the population size, social group composition, diet, daily ranging patterns, and patas home range during a 3 year period. The patas monkey population in the study area consisted of approximately 120 individuals in four heterosexual groups and several all-male bands. Within their home ranges (26.8 km2), the population density was 4.47 individuals/km2. Home range size among the population's four heterosexual groups varied from 3.72 km2 to 15.39 km2, and minimum daily distance traveled ranged from 0.8–2.0 km. In general, the social structure and mating system of this population parallels what has been described for African populations. However, habitat use, ranging behavior, and the quality of intergroup interactions suggests that patas of this population exhibit territorial behavior. Am. J.

Food handouts from visitors to Mt. Emei, in The People’s Republic of China, have considerably increased the diversity of food
available to an indigenous population of Macaca thibetana.Some 43% of the feeding time was spent at the trail area frequented by tourists. Ranging behavior was of two kinds: wandering
around within the group’s most densely used areas and making peripheral excursions between the areas. Three kinds of trail-area
use were observed: three-group overlapping, two-group overlapping, and exclusive. M. thibetanatended to use sheltered sites for sleeping, to ensure safety and/or to keep dry in a rainy habitat. Exclusively and successively
used sleeping sites were noted. The average size of the home range per group was 3 km
2; the average population density for the entire range was 13/km2, and the biomass was 109 kg/km2. The population may be growing, a possibility that is also supported by previous analyses using data on group composition. 相似文献

Daily ranges of 19 (6 males, 13 females) adult red deerCervus elaphus Linnaeus, 1758 were studied using 24-h tracking sessions in Białowieża Primeval Forest (BPF), Poland, from 2001 to 2004.
Overall, size of mean (± SE) daily ranges was larger for males (1.22 ± 0.10 km2) than females (1.00 ± 0.09 km2), although the difference was not significant. Similarly, mean daily ranges were 6–46% larger for males than females in each
season, although there were no statistical differences in mean daily ranges among seasons for each sex. Abiotic factors, especially
temperature, significantly affected daily ranges of females, but not males, suggesting sexual differences in response to weather
variables. On a daily basis, males used 3% of their annual home range, whereas females used 12% of their annual home range,
indicating females used their annual home ranges more intensely than males. Consecutive daily ranges overlapped little for
each sex. Daily ranges of red deer in BPF were considerably larger than previously reported in Europe, suggesting factors
unique to BPF also influenced size of daily ranges. 相似文献

The social organization of hanuman langurs (Presbytis entellus, Colobinae) was studied in Kanha Tiger Reserve, Central Indian Highlands between 1980 and 1983, followed by six brief return
visits over ten years. Censuses of the 7 km2 Kanha meadows demonstrated little change in population density and structure between 1982 and 1990; the population was consistently
composed of one-male troops and all-male bands. During the return visits the focal C troop extended its known 74.5 ha range
by only 5.6%. By 1993 two identified, habituated, adult females remained within the troop. The adult male was resident in
C troop for ≥nine years and eight months. 相似文献

Maroon leaf monkeys (Presbytis rubicunda) were studied at the Orangutan Research Conservation Project study area at the Tanjung Puting Reserve in Central Indonesian
Borneo for approximately 15 months in 1974, 1975, and 1977. Over 250 observation hr involving 300 encounters with the monkeys
were logged. Troop size ranged from three to eight individuals in the nine troops surveyed with only one adult male being
present in each troop. Home range size varied from 0.33 km2 to 0.99 km2 and correlated with troop size. Forty-six different food types were observed eaten by the maroon leaf monkeys; of these foods,
52% consisted of fruits, 36% of leaves, and 12% of flowers. 相似文献

The introduction and eradication of alien invasive plant species potentially alters feeding and spatial ecology of wild primates. We investigated whether the removal of an important dietary resource for wild chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus), black wattle (Acacia mearnsii), from a nature reserve would result in longer daily path lengths (DPLs) and greater movement toward other resources, specifically alternative black wattle stands outside the reserve, agricultural plots, and sleeping and geophagy sites. We fitted a juvenile male baboon with a self-releasing GPS collar to track the focal troop’s movements on Wildcliff Nature Reserve and adjacent properties, located in the Western Cape, South Africa, from January 25, 2010 to January 18, 2011. During this time, Working for Water, an environmental conservation initiative of the South African Department of Water Affairs, removed black wattle from the baboons’ home range. We estimated monthly home range (5.30–20.58?km2) and DPL (1.7–11.7?km) and quantified the baboons’ use of five dominant vegetation types. Our vegetation use-availability analysis indicated that the troop preferred black wattle, Afromontane forests, and, to a lesser extent, pasture, but used agricultural plots and fynbos less than expected by availability. With increasing black wattle removal in the core area, the troop traveled further toward distant sources of black wattle, using sleeping sites out of their core area to accommodate such long day journeys. A general linear model indicated that movement to black wattle stands, as well as changing sleeping sites, day length, and both spring and winter seasons all significantly increased DPL. We suggest the influence that alien invasive species and their eradication has on ranging behavior should be a consideration in primate conservation and management policies. 相似文献

Feeding behavior in a troop of one subspecies of the Japanese monkey, the Yakuzaru (Macaca fuscata yakui), was observed for 407 hr on Yakushima Island between March and December 1976, after a three-month preliminary survey in 1975. The troop dwells in a mature warm temperate forest at a density of over 30 animals/km2. The 5-min scanning technique was employed from August to December 1976, to detect the quantitative features of feeding behavior. The members of this troop fed on 76 plant species: on the leaves of 26, the fruits of 45, and other parts of 12 species. The Yakuzaru is essentially frugivorous. The pattern of food selection is discussed in relation to fruit production. The animals fed much more on the leaves of deciduous than of evergreen woody plants. “Selection ratio” the percentage of time spent feeding on each species to the percentage abundance of each species in the sample strip, was calculated in order to evaluate food selection from the plant community. In addition, the food habits of this subspecies were compared with that of six other populations in various habitats in Japan, by computing the similarity index for the woody plant community, all woody plant food species, and all major woody plant food species. 相似文献

We deployed Global Positioning System (GPS) collars on spotted hyaena, Crocuta crocuta, on Ongava Game Reserve in northern Namibia. We analysed the movement profiles recorded from three periods of fine temporal scale (15 min interval) GPS data – dry season data from a sub‐adult female (36 days) and a lactating adult female (54 days), and wet season data from the same adult female (55 days). The hyaenas both had similar daily activity patterns – at rest between 12.00 and 18.00 hours, with a peak of activity in the 2‐h period around sunrise. They exhibited one or two active periods each night, travelling up to 30 km and being active for up to 10 h. Daily rest sites were widely distributed across the reserve, typically located on elevated ground and never revisited on consecutive days. In the dry season, both hyaenas made extensive use of the reserve, plus adjacent areas in Etosha National Park (sub‐adult home range 240 km2, adult home range 366 km2). The wet season data for the adult female showed a significant reduction of space used (home range 232 km2). However, their utility distributions showed a nonuniform use of space, with multiple areas of high‐density utilization located away from open terrain. 相似文献
