推断社会组织的潜在结构是动物生态学的中心主题。复杂的理论框架支撑着对各种灵长类社会系统的研究。单列运动，定义为动物的连续有序模式，反映了群体内的社会关系，并提供了理解社会结构的关键。在这里，我们分析了自动相机捕捉数据的单行运动的进展顺序在自由放养的一组树桩尾猕猴，以估计该集团的社会结构。单行运动的顺序显示出一些不稳定性，特别是成年男性。社会网络分析确定了四个社区集群（亚组）对应的社会结构，这些stumptailed猕猴，即男性交配更频繁地与女性在空间上聚集在一起，但男性交配频率较低的空间与女性隔离。我们的研究结果表明，stumptailed猕猴定期移动，社会决定的模式，反映了成年男性的空间位置，并与该物种的社会组织。
Inferring the latent structures of social organisations is a central theme in animal ecology. Sophisticated theoretical frameworks underpin the study of various primate social systems. Single-file movements, defined as serially ordered patterns of animals, reflect intra-group social relationships and provide a key to understanding social structures. Here, we analysed automated camera-trapping data on the order of progression of single-file movements in a free-ranging group of stump-tailed macaques to estimate the social structure of the group. The sequence of single file movements showed some regularities, particularly for adult males. Social network analysis identified four community clusters (subgroups) corresponding to the social structures reported for these stumptailed macaques, i.e. males that had copulated more frequently with females were spatially clustered with females, but males that had copulated less frequently were spatially isolated from females. Our results suggest that stumptailed macaques move in regular, socially determined patterns that reflect the spatial positions of adult males and are related to the social organisation of the species.
