关于以野生灵长类动物身体为食的食腐动物的信息非常有限。在这里,我们描述了在四川老河沟自然保护区,食肉动物吞食/觅食野生金丝猴(Rhinopithecus Roxellana)身体的过程。在对一群金丝猴进行为期3个月的行为和生态学研究期间(2013年3月至5月),我们遇到了一只成年雄性金丝猴的身体(雄性金丝猴体重约12-16公斤)。在检查完死猴子后,我们将它送回了死亡地点,并设置了一个相机陷阱来记录食腐动物的行为和身份。在25天的时间里,我们收集了4145张由相机陷阱拍摄的照片。从这些照片中辨认出的食腐动物包括果子狸(Paguma Larvata)、亚洲黑熊(Ursus Thibetanus)、大嘴乌鸦(Corvus Macrorhynchos)和栗鼠(Rattus Fulvescens)。金鼻猴的社会群体由大约120个个体组成,没有发现任何成员返回死亡地点的一般区域。果子狸在夜间主要以身体的面部和肠道为食,而黑熊在白天和夜间都吃掉了死猴子的大部分身体。这两个分类群在一周内几乎吃掉了整个身体。我们认为,相机陷阱的使用提供了一个强大的研究工具,以确定给定生态系统的食腐动物群落。
There exists very limited information on the set of scavengers that feed on the carcasses of wild primates. Here, we describe, based on information collected using a remote camera trap, carnivores consuming/scavenging the carcass of a wild golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) in the Laohegou Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China. During a 3 month behavioral and ecology study of a band of golden snub-nosed monkeys (March through May 2013), we encountered the carcass of an adult male (male golden snub-nosed monkeys weigh approximately 12–16 kg). After examining the dead monkey, we returned it to the death site and set out a camera trap to record the behavior and identity of scavengers. Over the course of 25 days, we collected 4145 photographs taken by the camera trap. Scavengers identified from these photographs include a masked civet (Paguma larvata), Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus), large-billed crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) and the chestnut rat (Rattus fulvescens). No member of the golden snub-nosed monkey's social group, which was composed of approximately 120 individuals, was found to return to the general area of the death site. The masked civet fed principally on the face and intestines of the corpse at night, while the black bear consumed most of the body of the dead monkey during both the daytime and nighttime. These two taxa consumed virtually the entire carcass in one week. We suggest that the use of camera traps offers a powerful research tool to identify the scavenger community of a given ecosystem.
