MANDIBULAR MORPHOMETRICS AMONG MACAQUES - THE CASE OF MACACCA-THIBETANA

Recent field studies suggest that Macaca thibetana, a large endemic Chinese macaque, may be quite folivorous, distinguishing it from most other macaque species, which tend to be primarily frugivorous. To understand how this diet affects its masticatory system, we conducted a comparative morphometric study of mandibular dimensions. We took linear measurements from male and female mandibles of this species as well as four other macaques-M. fascicularis, M. nemestrina, M. arctoides, and M. assamensis-and four species of Presbytis-P. obscura, P. rubicunda, P. cristata, and P. phayrei-and subjected to them to a variety of analyses. Based on analyses of variances and discriminant analyses on each sex individually, the mandible of M. thibetana corresponds to expected patterns for folivorous primates with respect to its wide condyles and thick corpora: However, the height of the corpus and symphysis are lower, and the anteroposterior length of the condyle is longer than predicted for a folivore. In addition to interpretations specifically relating to M. thibetana, we also discuss the functional morphology of the other species in light of what is published about their diets.

SEASONAL-CHANGES IN BODY-WEIGHT OF MACACA-THIBETANA AT MT-EMEI, CHINA

This 1991-1992 study was designed to expand previous research on body weight (BW) in Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mt. Emei. Data on BW were collected in late autumn (LA) and late winter (LW) in groups ranging above 1,200 m. Over the winter, the BW fell significantly from a mean of 16.8 to 11.4 kg in females and from 19.5 to 17.0 kg in males. The previously reported BW means of 12.8 kg for females and 18.3 kg for males, measured in late spring, are near the center of the annual BW range for this species. In addition, with the sharper decline of female BW (- 32% vs. - 13% seen in males), the sexual dimorphism ((M) over bar/(F) over bar) in BW increased from 1.16 in LA to 1.49 in LW. This finding may be related to differential parental investment by two sexes. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

MATING COMPETITION AND INTERGROUP TRANSFER OF MALES IN TIBETAN MACAQUES (MACACA-THIBETANA) AT MT EMEI, CHINA

In five groups of seasonally provisioned Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mt. Emei, males were sampled for wounds as an indicator of their competition for females during about 80 days in the 1987 mating season. Quantitative data on intergroup transfer were collected in a period between June 1986 and December 1987. The young adult (YA) males, the most active age-class in mating activity and intergroup transfer, received most of the wounds. Wounds tended to appear more in the front of body for YA and subadults (SA) than they did for middle-old aged (MO) males. This implies that some of the MO males were more active and aggressive in the fights. During the 1.5 year period, 5/6 of the YA and 5/17 of the MO males made intergroup shifts. Although YA males faced a high risk of receiving wounds at transfer, they usually rose in rank. On the other hand, the MO males transferred more smoothly but dropped in rank. The peripheral SA males, which rarely emigrated in the population, were an active component in determining the wounding rate, and the rate and direction of male migration. Three SA immigrants died of severe attacks made by resident males in 1988 and 1991. Adult sex ratios and their variations were considerably reduced with male nonrandom shifts and better conservation of the population.

Morphometric analysis of Macaca arctoides and M-thibetana in relation to other macaque species

As a first step in reviewing the classification of the two stump-tailed macaque species, Macaca arctoides and M. thibetana, as compared with other species of the genus Macaca, 72 linear dental and cranial variables of 11 macaque species were examined by morphometric analyses. The results indicate that the two stump-tailed species are the largest of the macaques and although rather similar overall, they exhibit significant differences in the pattern of variation in most of the five skull regions as shown by Principal Components and Canonical Variate Analyses. Euclidean Distances based on Canonical Variate scores indicate that the females of M. arctoides and M. thibetana are more widely separated than eight other pairs of macaque species, and that the separations of the respective males are greater than those of three other pairs of species. These findings are consistent with FOODEN's classification of the stump-tailed macaques as two separate species (FOODEN, 1976; FOODEN et al., 1985). The present results suggest, as other researchers have proposed on the basis of external features, biochemistry and genetics, that the two stump-tailed macaque species and M. assamensis are closely related. The results also tentatively imply associations with M. fuscata and M. sylvanus but these require further study. The findings have implications for the assessment of the various Chinese Pleistocene macaque fossils.

黑白仰鼻猴（Rhinopithecus bieti）的种群现状、云南境内生境退化和藏猕猴（Macaca thibetana）的叫声

黑白仰鼻猴仅分布于滇西北和藏东南境内，金沙江和澜沧江间的一个狭小区域内。根据以前的研究结果，将暗针叶林和针阔混交林定义为其适宜生境（SH）黑白仰鼻猴的适宜生境由于当地人砍树烧树形成夏季高山牧场逐渐被侵蚀。为了解云南省境内黑白仰鼻猴适宜生境的现状，我们比较了1997年卫星图片和1958年以航片为基础绘制的地形图上夏季牧场和适宜生境的面积，得到以下结果：1）1997年黑白仰鼻猴的适宜生境面积为4169平方公里；2）夏季牧场面积为1923平方公里；3）过去的40年中，适宜生境面积减少了31％（1887平方公里），夏季牧场面积增加了204％（1291平方公里）；4）森林斑块的平均面积从15.6平方公．里减小到5.4平方公里。另外，夏季牧场的面积和当地人口成正相关（R2=053），这意味着黑白仰鼻猴生境的减少和破碎化是当地传统生产方式和人口增长共同作用的结果。目前在云南和西藏境内分别尚存11群和2群黑白仰鼻猴。

藏酋猴(Macaca thibetana)电刺激采精、精液冻存和精子活力的检测

本文研究中国特有的藏酋猴(Macaca thibetana)电刺激采精、精液冻存及精子活力检测。用电刺激方案[(DDR)_(17-c)V]：延搁(delay)17毫秒、间期(duration)17毫秒、刺激频率17脉冲／秒、单方波变电压连续刺激，对笼养藏酋猴进行电刺激采精，测定精液的各种特征参数，包括每次射精量、液化率、精子密度、运动精子的百分率、死活精子以及异常精子比例。并与其它非人灵长类进行了比较。在精液冻存实验中，通过对不同的防冻液、不同的降温程序及防冻液分散系的比较研究，从而确定了适于藏酋猴精液冻存的冻存方案：PSF-4%的甘油-TH-7.5%的小牛血清(PSF-TH/FBS-G)和PSF-MDM。用前一方案冻存藏酋猴精液，复苏运动度为63.58±0.06%；精子的存活率为90.14±0.03%(n=5)。冻存精液用金黄地鼠裸穿透分析法检测，结果表明具有相应新鲜精液穿透力的51.90±0.08%。后一冻存方案能保存88.00±1.03%的运动精子，但运动寿命较短。研究结果表明：1).刺激方案(DDR)_(17-c)V适于藏酋猴的电刺激采精。2).藏酋猴的精液量和精子数在已有过研究的非人灵长类动物中是最多的，藏酋猴有可能成为较理想的精子生物学研究用的非人灵长类动物。3).脂蛋白对维持精子膜的完整可能有重要作用。4).接近生理条件的防冻剂分散系有助于精液的冻存。5).两种冻存方案PSF-TH/FBS-G和PSF-MDM均适于藏酋猴的精液冻存。

灵长类的减数分裂细胞遗传学研究

I.四种猕猴属(Macaca)动物精母细胞联会复合体的比较研究 本工作采用去污剂微铺展－－硝酸银染色技术比较研究了熊猴、平顶猴、藏酋猴、恒河猴及其亚种毛耳猴的精母细胞联会复合体（SC）核型和SC的结构、形态及其在减数分裂过程的行为。结果表明：1.这几种动物的SC核型及SC的发育过程基本一致。粗线期SC的相对长度和臂比与体细胞染色体的相对长度和臂比具有较好的吻合性。SC的形成开始于线期，成熟于粗线期，解体于双线期。2.在减数分裂前期，性染色体轴表现强烈的嗜银性，配对明显落后于常染色体。根据性染色体的形态和行为，可分为五种类型。此外，本文还对XY染色体的同源性和侧轴加粗等现象进行了讨论。II.食蟹猴（M.fascicularis）和熊猴（M.assamensis）杂种（F1）的细胞遗传学研究 本工作采用染色体显带、组织学观察以及低渗铺张－－硝酸银染色等方法较为详细地研究了食蟹猴和熊猴种间杂种（F1）体细胞染色体的G带、C带、Ag-NOR、精母细胞联会复合体的结构、形态和行为以及精子发生。结果表明，①杂种亲本的染色体级具有高度的同源性；②杂种的精子发生过程完全正常；③食蟹猴和熊猴的种间生殖屏障可能主要是生态隔离。此外，本文还对食蟹猴和熊猴染色体高度同源的原因、二者的分类地位以及杂种细胞中Ag-NOR的多态性等问题进行了分析和讨论。
