9318784 Milton The role of food (and its distribution) as a basic determinant of group size and grouping patterns in primates is a much discussed topic. Despite the debate over the causes of sociality, it has been widely accepted that the size of a social group is limited by intragroup competition over access to feeding sites. In this regard, the size, abundance and dispersion patterns of resource patches on which a species feeds are believed to set a limit on the number of animals able to feed as a group due to intra group feeding competition. This project will study the relationship of food distribution and group size in an extreme situation - this animal, the black uakari monkey, reportedly lives in groups of about 100 in a very remote part of Amazonia. It will undoubtedly result in very interesting findings, especially as the species has never been studied before, and is considered endangered. The project will result in expert training of a new scientist. *** p:\anthro\jfried\9318784.abs

小行星9318784米尔顿 食物（及其分布）作为灵长类动物群体大小和群体模式的基本决定因素，是一个备受讨论的话题。 尽管对社会性的原因存在争议，但人们普遍认为，社会群体的规模受到群体内对觅食地点的竞争的限制。 在这方面，一个物种赖以为生的资源斑块的大小、丰度和分散模式被认为限制了能够作为一个群体觅食的动物数量，这是由于群体内的觅食竞争。 该项目将研究在极端情况下食物分配与群体大小的关系-这种动物，黑乌卡利猴，据报道以大约100只的群体生活在亚马逊河流域一个非常偏远的地区。 毫无疑问，这将导致非常有趣的发现，特别是因为这个物种以前从未被研究过，而且被认为是濒危物种。 该项目将对一名新科学家进行专家培训。 * p：\anthro\jfried\9318784.abs
