利用社会网络分析方法，研究了一群一夫多妻的西部黑冠长臂猿（Nomenchconcolor）的邻近网络结构和季节性。空间邻近度随季节变化，并受温度和降雨量的影响。偏好的邻近关联在个体之间不是随机分布的。亲属关系是对社会结构的一种解释，因为后代更喜欢与母亲保持密切的关系。随着年龄的增长，婴儿与母亲的接近程度降低，独立的后代与母亲的接近程度低于依赖的后代。我们发现，成年男性有不同的接近关系，与两个不同的成年女性。男性与携带婴儿的女性之间的接近频率显著高于男性与携带一个亲子关系不确定的后代进入该群体的女性之间的接近频率。避免杀婴和/或捕食保护依赖婴儿可能解释的邻近关系的差异。温度影响组接近协会，个人接近增加在寒冷的月份和减少在炎热的月份。组接近下降的月份，更高的人为干扰。
We investigated the structure and seasonality of the proximity network in a group of polygynous western black crested gibbons (Nomascus concolor) using social network analysis. The spatial proximity changed seasonally and was affected by temperature and rainfall. Preferred proximity association was not distributed randomly among individuals. Kinship was one explanation for the social structure, as offspring preferred to maintain close proximity with their mothers. The proximity of infants to mothers decreased with age, and independent offspring had lower proximity to mothers than dependent ones. We found that the adult male had different proximity relationships with two different adult females. The frequency of proximity between the male and the infant-carrying female was significantly higher than that between the male and the female who had immigrated carrying one offspring of uncertain paternity into the group. Infanticide avoidance and/or predation protection for dependent infants might explain the proximity relationship differences. Temperature influenced group proximity association, with individual proximity increasing in the cold months and decreasing in the hot months. Group proximity decreased in months with higher anthropogenic disturbance.
