白头叶猴全雄群的日活动节律和活动时间分配

Abstract

Abstract: Behavioral data were collected from an all-male group of the white-headed langur (Trachypitheucs leucocephalus) between August 2007 and July 2008 atGuangxi Chongzuo White-headed Langur National Nature Reserve,Guangxi Province,China using the instantaneous scan sampling method.This study is to investigate influences of group size and composition on diurnal activity budgets of white-headed langurs.The results indicated that all-male group of white-headed langurs showed morning and afternoon feeding peaks,with a midday resting peak.Langurs spent ca.48.7% of their daytime resting,23.3% moving,18.5% feeding,7.2% playing,1.9% allgrooming,and 0.4% for other behaviors.There was no significant seasonal variation in most activity budgets,except for playing.They spent more timein playing in the dry season than in the rainy season.In addition the difference in group size and composition between all-male group and bisexual group influence their time budgets.

Key words: Trachypitheucs leucocephalus, all-male group, activity pattern, time budget
