非部队男性交配策略男性流入交配季节性优势日本猕猴猕猴fuscata yakui屋久岛大卫S.斯普拉格，人类进化研究实验室科学系，京都大学左京，京都606（日本）介绍雄性猕猴的交配策略已被描述为一种形式的“女性防御一夫多妻制”[1]。这种雄性交配策略的特征通常假设雄性在它们所属的群体中交配。这一假设对于许多有关交配中优势地位的作用或生活在一个群体中的雄性数量的理论都很重要。例如，一个雄性群体中的常驻雄性预计将保持对群体中雌性的独占[1]，而在多雄性群体中，只有当占主导地位的雄性不能将它们排除在交配之外时，从属雄性才有望生活在群体中[1，2]。然而，许多研究人员报道了在交配季节，具有单雄和多雄群体结构的旧大陆猴物种的非群体雄性的流入{Macaca fuscata [3]，M. mu-latta [4]、长耳叶猴[5]、缓尾猴[6]、短尾猴C. mitis albogularis [7]、白齿拟步行虫C. ascanius [8]，Erythrocebus patas [9]）。许多入侵的雄性成功交配。这些观察结果对目前关于交配成功与雄性群体成员之间关系的假设提出了质疑。Yamagiwa [3]曾报道，屋久岛的日本猕猴（Macaca fuscata yakui）中，非群居雄性经常成功交配。本文报道了进一步的研究，交配的非部队男性在屋久岛的研究地点，表明，非部队男性占很大比例的交配在这个人口。研究地点位于日本鹿儿岛县雾岛屋久国家公园内屋久岛西北海岸。研究部队生活在连续的、基本上未受干扰的森林中，周围有许多其他部队。在1984年这项研究开始时，三支部队已经被非部队雄性157
Nontroop male Mating strategy Male influx Mating seasonality Dominance Japanese macaque Macaca fuscata yakui Yakushima David S. Sprague, Laboratory of Human Evolution Studies Faculty of Science, Kyoto University Sakyo, Kyoto 606 (Japan) Introduction The mating strategy of male cercopithe-cine monkeys has been described as a form of’female defense polygyny’ [1]. Such characterizations of male mating strategy generally assume that males mate within a troop of which they are members. This assumption is important for many theories concerned with the role of dominance in mating or with the number of males living in a troop. For example, the resident male of a one-male troop is expected to maintain exclusive access to the females of a troop [1], while in multimale groups the subordinate males are expected to live in the group only if the dominant males cannot exclude them from mating [1,2]. However, many researchers have reported influxes of nontroop males during the mating season for Old World monkey species with both one-male and multimale group structures {Macaca fuscata [3], M. mu-latta [4], Presbytis entellus [5], Cercopithecus mitis stuhlmanni [6], C. mitis albogularis [7], C. ascanius [8], Erythrocebus patas [9]). Many of these intruding males copulate successfully. These observations call into question current assumptions about the relationship between mating success and male troop membership. Yamagiwa [3] has reported that nontroop males often succeeded in mating among the Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui) of Yakushima Island. This paper reports further research on mating by nontroop males in the Yakushima study site, showing that nontroop males accounted for a large proportion of the mating in this population. Field Site and Methods The study site is located on the northwestern coast of Yakushima Island within the KirishimaYaku National Park, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The study troops live in continuous, largely undisturbed forest and are surrounded by many other troops. At the time this study began in 1984, three troops had been habitMating by Nontroop Males 157
