猕猴华北亚种（Macaca mulatta tcheliensis）为中国所特有，目前仅分布于太行山南端地区-世界野生猕猴分布的北缘。作为营社会性生活的物种，猕猴的社会结构及其变化、社群稳定的维持机制是灵长类学的重要内容，长期为学者们所关注。在灵长类社群中，个体间的冲突不可避免而社群稳定仍得以维持，则冲突的解决、平息及相关的冲突管理策略在其中起着极为重要的作用。本项目拟以太行山猕猴国家级自然保护区的野生猕猴群为对象，采用非损伤性的行为学、生态学、分子生物学等宏观和微观相结合的方法，研究太行山猕猴社群的统治风格、冲突行为及其影响因素，揭示其冲突管理策略及其对社群维持的意义，丰富和完善灵长类社会组织和结构与环境关系的社会生态学理论；为分析猕猴社群稳定的维持机制、为灵长类不同社会结构的比较分析奠定基础；为猕猴资源的可持续利用提供理论支撑；为探讨人类社会的冲突管理、和谐稳定发展提供科学参考。

As a peculiar subspecies of rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) in China, M. m. tcheliensis, referred to Taihangshan macaques, currently occurred south area of Mt. Taihangshan, where occupied the northermost region of geographical distribution of rhesus macaques worldwide. Social structure and its variation, maintainance of macaque society have long been focused by primatologists and researchers. The nonhuman primate societies usually stabilized though conflicts among individuals are commonly seen, which depends on the settlement, reconciliation, appeasement, and related conflict management. In this research, taking a free-ranging group of rhesus macaques inhabiting the Taihangshan Macaque National Nature Resreve (TMNNR), and using un-invasive methods covering behavior, ecology, and laboratory test, we intend to investigate the dominance style, conflict and post-conflict behavior and its influencing factors, to understand conflict managing strategy of rhesus macaque society and its evolutionary significance for society maintaining, to enrich the general knowledge and theory of social structure and social organization involved in socioecology; provide basic data for analyzing mechanism behind macaque society maintanance and comparative studies among different social structure of nonhuman primates. Furthermore, based on the results from this study, we also want to give theoretical support for sustainable utilization of macaque resource, and offer scientific reference for conflict management, and harmoniously and stably developing of human society.
