怒江金丝猴对温带中山森林的行为与生态适应机制及保护策略研究

以云南省怒江傈僳族自治州泸水县片马镇高黎贡山西坡种群数量为100只左右的怒江金丝猴Rhinopithecus strykeri为研究对象，采用野外跟踪、直接观察记录并结合红外陷阱相机监测，收集食性、游走行为、时间预算及过夜地行为等数据，检验灵长类行为生态学中的最优觅食、成本-收益、最佳时间预算、安全与体温调节等适应性假说,揭示怒江金丝猴在温带中山湿性常绿阔叶森林中维持能量平衡的行为生态适应机制；同时根据生境选择特点，利用GIS技术对其生境适宜性进行评价，提出科学的生境管理方案和种群管理策略。项目首次涉及怒江金丝猴生态与行为研究，将揭示其在特定自然环境中的行为适应机制，不仅为灵长类学提供基础数据，还为物种保护提科技支撑。

Using a mix of direct observation and camera traps, the project will focus on the behavioural ecology of a new primate species, Burmese or black snub-nosed monkeys Rhinopithecus strykeri, at Pianma in Gaoligongshan Nature Reserve in Yunnan. The data of diet, ranging behavior, time budget of daytime activity and sleeping site/trees will be used to identify how the species deal with seasonality of food availability in the temperate zone as well as to determine the threaten factors to the species, and develop a conservational and managemental plan. Put briefly, this project can be subdivided into two major parts:.i) The collection of baseline data on behavioural ecology of black snub-nosed monkeys. Data, included diet, feeding behaviour, range use (range behaviour) and time budget of daytime activity as well as selection of sleeping sites/trees, will be collected on this new, highly specialized and little known primate species, with main focus on the adaptation mechanisms to extremely environment. .ii) Conservation implications. The threat of increasing human disturbance on the newly discovered black snub-nosed monkey populations will be assessed, and a sustainable wildlife management plan shall be established and implemented using the data on behavioural and ecological parameters that collected in situ.
