Abstract: Data on the choice of sleeping sites of a group of the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) at Xiangguqing in Baimaxueshan Nature Reserve,Yunnan,were collected from November 1 to November 28,in 2008.During the study period,4 sleeping sites,which were used 9 times in the deciduous broadleaf forest were recorded firstly.13 ecological factors of 16 20 m×20 mplant plots in these sleeping sites were measured.Results of principal component analysis showed that the 6 principal components explained 86.7% of the total variance.It suggests that the abundance of food major determined the choice and use of sleeping sites in late fall,and other ecological factors also determined this choice to some degree.

Key words: Rhinopithecus bieti, sleeping site, late fall, deciduous broadleaf forest
