1965年春天,俄勒冈州地区灵长类动物研究中心获得了一群在日本广岛县捕获的猴子。一个完整的群体是一个独特的资源,因为大多数关于社会组织的实验室研究都是在个体动物身上进行的,这些动物被商人们捕获并组装成群体(库默[1967])。这些人工聚集的群体缺乏亲属关系和社会习惯,而这些关系和社会习惯是完整群体的社会关系的结构(Kawai [1965]; Kawamura [1965])。俄勒冈州的群体目前被安置在一个两英亩的户外围栏中,设计得足够大,以维持自然群体组织,但又足够小,以允许深入研究。畜栏的内部是一片草地,草地上有许多树桩和光秃秃的树干,这些树桩和树干提供了攀爬平台,还有一座木塔作为庇护所(图1)。
In the spring of 1965, the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center acquired a troop of monkeys (Macaca fuscata fuscata) captured in the Hiroshima prefecture of Japan. An intact troop is a unique re source since most laboratory research on social organization is con ducted on animals individually trapped and assembled into groups by dealers (Kummer [1967]). These artificially assembled groups lack the kinship ties and social habits which have been found to structure the social relationships of intact troops (Kawai [1965]; Kawamura [1965]).The Oregon troop is presently housed in a two-acre outdoor cor ral designed to be large enough for the maintenance of natural troop organization but small enough to permit intensive study. The interior of the corral is a grass field containing numerous stumps and bare tree trunks which provide climbing platforms, and a wooden tower for shelter (Fig. 1).
