夜间搭建睡眠平台（SP）或“巢”被广泛认为是类人猿的普遍行为，但SP结构形态至今尚未完全量化。这部分是由于收集有关树栖SP的经验数据的固有困难。我收集了定量结构数据SP（n = 65）在托罗塞姆利基野生动物保护区从2008年5月至6月，从2010年8月至2011年1月。我测量了SP的长度（半长轴长度）、宽度（半短轴长度）、半径（从表面中心到与轴成45°的边缘的长度）、深度（从表面中心到平行边缘的宽度）和厚度（SP的腹侧中心到背侧）。SP复杂性用评分指数定义。SP的复杂性被发现与SP周长，表面积，质量，比例软叶材料硬木质材料，在其建设中使用的框架支持分支的数量，和其他措施，被认为是指数“舒适”。此外，SP以上的树冠高度与SP复杂度呈负相关。更大的复杂性（以及因此的稳定性）被认为是为了在更大的风速下保持SP的完整性、稳定性和约束力，从而降低福尔斯的概率。考虑到雄性位点SP低于雌性的观察结果（Fruth和Hohmann，动物行为学94：113-126，1994;布朗洛等人，Am J Primatol 55：49-55，2001），并且SP直径对于位于Semliki的树冠低的SP更大，推断更大的雄性受益于更低的攀爬费用和更大的稳定性。这些数据支持Baldwin及其同事（Primates 22：474-486，1981）的假设，即SP相对于开枝睡眠地点的主要优势是大型猿类所需的更大稳定性。
The nightly construction of a sleeping platform (SP) or “nest” is widely regarded as a universal behavior among great apes, yet SP structural morphology has been incompletely quantified to date. This is in part due to the inherent difficulties of gathering empirical data on arboreally sited SPs. I gathered quantitative structural data on SPs (n = 65) at the Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve from May to June 2008 and from August 2010 to January 2011. I measured SP length (semi-major axis length), width (semi-minor axis length), radii (length from the surface center to the rim edge 45° from the axis), depth (width of the concavity from the surface center to the parallel rim), and thickness (ventral center to the dorsal underside of the SP). SP complexity was defined with a scored index. SP complexity was found to be correlated with SP circumference, surface area, mass, proportion of soft leafy material to hard woody material, number of frame support branches used in its construction, and other measures that are argued to index “comfort.” In addition, the height of the tree canopy above the SP was negatively correlated with SP complexity. Greater complexity (and therefore stability) is argued to maintain SP integrity, stability and restraint in the face of greater wind speeds, thereby reducing the probability of falls. Given the observation that males site SPs lower than females (Fruth and Hohmann, Ethology 94:113–126, 1994; Brownlow et al., Am J Primatol 55:49–55, 2001), and that SP diameters were greater for SPs sited low in the canopy at Semliki, it is inferred that more massive males benefit from lower climbing expenses and greater stability. These data support Baldwin and colleagues’ (Primates 22:474–486, 1981) hypothesis that the principal advantage of SPs over open-branch sleeping sites is the greater stability required by large-bodied great apes.
