许多科洛宾的母亲允许其他雌性或幼崽接触它们的婴儿，但很少有关于父亲照顾的报道。本文报道了自由放养的黑白金丝猴（Rhinopithecus bieti）的父系抚育。在3988个婴儿行为样本中，有2115个观察到直接的婴儿护理，携带或梳理婴儿，其中30个观察到直接的父亲护理。年父亲照顾率为1.63%，2月和3月最高。月父权照顾与婴儿年龄、食物供应和环境温度呈负相关。因此，能量压力可能是有利于父亲照顾的选择压力。
Mothers of many colobines permit other females or juveniles to have contact with their infants, but paternal care has rarely been reported. This paper reports paternal care in free-ranging black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys Rhinopithecus bieti an endangered and little-known high-altitude species. Direct infant care, carrying or grooming infants, was observed in 2115 of 3988 infant behavioral samples, and 30 of these observations involved direct paternal care. Yearly paternal care was 1.63%, with highest rates in February and March. Monthly paternal care was negatively correlated with infant age, food availability and ambient temperature. Thus, energetic stress may be selective pressure favoring paternal care.
