ABSTRACT P.I. Robert Sussman/Thad Bartlett SBR - 9314804 Monogamy is relatively rare among our primate relatives, as well as mammals generally, and its determinants have not been clearly established. Typically, monogamy is argued to result when certain ecological constraints impinge - that in certain circumstances, males may be unable to monopolize more than one female, and ultimately, that males may not be able to control a sufficient resource base to support more than a single female and her dependent offspring. In larger Old World species, particularly gibbons, the argument has generally been that monogamy is a response to their dependence on small scattered resources that are presumably unbable to support larger social groups. However, there is a paucity of information on gibbon foraging behavior in relation to resouce availability, partially because most of the data have been collected in equatorial rain forests where there is little seasonality of resources, and plant diversity is high. This study will take place in a simpler habitat, with distinct wet and dry seasons, where gross changes in food availability will be more apparent, and where monitoring the variation in food resources can be related to ranging and social behaviors of the gibbons. It will permit a clear evaluation of current hypotheses concerning the interrelationship between resource distribution and social structure. This study will be supported partially by a Fulbright award. *** P\anthro\jfried\9314804.abs ~ Z _ | ~ ! ! ! !

摘要P.I. Robert Sussman/Thad Bartlett SBR -9314804一夫一妻制在我们的灵长类动物亲戚和哺乳动物中相对罕见，并且尚未明确确定其决定因素。 通常，当某些生态限制受到影响时，一夫一妻制会产生 - 在某些情况下，男性可能无法垄断多个女性，最终，男性可能无法控制足够的资源基础来支持更多的女性和她的依赖的后代。 在较大的旧世界，尤其是吉本斯，通常是一夫一妻制是对它们对小零散资源的依赖的回应，这些资源可能无法支持大型社会群体。 但是，关于长臂猿觅食行为的信息很少，部分是因为大多数数据是在赤道雨林中收集的，那里的资源很少，植物多样性很高。 这项研究将在更简单的栖息地中进行，具有独特的潮湿和干旱季节，食物可用性的总变化将更加明显，并且监测食物资源的变化可能与Gibbons的范围和社交行为有关。 这将允许对有关资源分配和社会结构之间相互关系的当前假设进行清晰的评估。 这项研究将得到富布赖特奖的部分支持。 *** p \ anthro \ jfried \ 9314804.abs〜z _ | 〜！ 呢 呢 呢 d〜〜（时代新罗马符号和arial“
