我们研究了这一假设，即在自由放养的恒河猴（猕猴），在发情期的产妇护理模式的影响独立的产后恢复交配的时间变化的受孕机会。我们观察了24个经产母亲和他们的婴儿在1990年交配季节之前和期间。当母亲重新开始交配时，她们突然减少了与婴儿的接触。婴儿的反应是增加他们发出求救信号和试图与乳头接触的频率。高水平的母亲拒绝和低水平的母亲乳头接触开始在母亲的第一次发情与低哺乳频率和高的受孕机会。虽然要求婴儿在发情期获得了一些成功，不情愿的母亲的乳头，母亲的受孕机会是无关的婴儿的需求或痛苦的呼叫措施。在发情期间，母亲调节乳头进入的行为的个体差异与先前显示的差异无关。在发情期，母亲似乎会根据婴儿的年龄以及可能与婴儿脆弱性有关的其他因素来调节乳头接触。
We examined the hypothesis that among free-ranging rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), maternal care patterns during estrus influence chances of conception independently of variation in the timing of the postpartum resumption of mating. We observed 24 multiparous mothers and their infants before and during the 1990 mating season. When mothers resumed mating, they abruptly sought less contact with their infants. Infants responded by increasing the rates with which they emitted distress calls and attempted to make nipple contact. High levels of maternal rejection and low levels of maternal nipple contact initiation during the mother's first estrus were associated with low suckling frequencies and high chances of conception. Although demanding infants had some success in gaining access to the nipples of reluctant mothers during estrus, mothers' chances of conception were unrelated to measures of infant demand or distress calling. Individual differences in maternal behavior regulating access to the nipple during estrus were unrelated to those shown previously. During estrus, mothers appeared to regulate nipple contact according to their infant's age and perhaps other factors related to its vulnerability.
