项目摘要

The present study was conducted to describe maternal behaviors toward the infants from the birth to the end of the second year in a free-ranging group and in a large colony group of Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata). In particular, the present study aimed to describe the differences in maternal behaviors according to situations in which the mother spent her time such as resting, feeding and traveling. Irrespective of a free-ranging group or a colony group, mothers tended to spend more time with their offspring when they took a rest than when they fed. On the other hand, the mothers tended to behave aggressively toward their offspring more frequently when they fed than when they rest. Moreover, while mothers traveled in the forest with other group members, they always tended to carry their offspring. These results indicate that Japanese monkey mothers are likely to change their attitude toward their young offspring according to what they do.Maternal behavior of Japanese monkey mothers who take care of normal infants was also compared with not only that of mothers who take care of congenitally malformed infants but also that of macaque mothers and prosimian mothers in order to understand maternal care-taking ability evolutionally. We can say that there is the continuum from prosimians to simians for maternal affectional system.

本研究的目的是描述母亲对婴儿的行为，从出生到第二年年底在自由放养组和一个大的殖民地组的日本猴（Macaca fuscata）。特别是，本研究的目的是描述母亲的行为的差异，根据情况下，母亲花了她的时间，如休息，喂养和旅行。无论是自由放养的群体还是群居的群体，母亲在休息时往往比在进食时花更多的时间与后代在一起。另一方面，母亲在喂食时比在休息时更容易对后代表现出攻击性。此外，当母亲与其他群体成员在森林中旅行时，她们总是倾向于携带自己的后代。这些结果表明，日本猴母亲很可能会根据自己的行为改变对年幼后代的态度。为了从进化的角度理解母亲的照顾能力，我们还将照顾正常婴儿的日本猴母亲的母亲行为与照顾先天畸形婴儿的母亲、猕猴母亲和原猴母亲的母亲行为进行了比较。可以说，母性情感系统是从原猴到猿猴的连续体。
