摘要: 本文采用无线电发讯器和直接跟踪观察等方法,研究了短尾猴黄山鱼鳞坑群四季巢区的利用与环境的关系。鱼鳞坑群的春季巢区为2.75平方公里,夏季为1.62平方公里,秋季为3.62平方公里,冬季为2.5平方公里。四季巢区有重叠现象,总面积为6平方公里;巢区的季节性垂直迁移现象不明显,与分布在黄山的短尾猴整体情况有所差异,反映了短尾猴适应环境而表现的一种生活样式。

Abstract: Study of seasonal home range of Thibetan Monkey was conducted in southwest stop of Huangshan Mountain,Anhui Province(118°19′E, 30°29′N) for 182 days (October,1985, November,1987).There were 23 individuals(♂11,♀12)of Yulinkeng Troop in October,1985,and by November,1987,there were 33(♂16,♀17).The Yulinkeng Troops home range included evergreen, evergreen and deciduous broadleaved mixed forests,with an area of 6km2
Region's utilization frequency was related to the food abundance (table 3,4). In our research,region A and B (with the area of 0.75km2 ) were utilized frequently.C and D (1.5km2) usually,and E (3.75km2 ) generally.
The home range size of this troop changed seasonally.The Autumn size Was 3.62km2
contented 55% of evergreen forest,the summer size 1.02km2 24% of evergreen forest,the spring and winter 2.75 and 2.5km2,55% and 65% evergreen forests respectively(see Fig.3,4).The monkeys had the longest daily moving distance,2.18km in summer,the shortest one,1km in winter,and 1.2 and 1.8km in spring and autumn.
The Yulinkeng Troop had a home range larger than that of M.fuscata and M.mulatta (see table 6),showing a lower utilization of home range than the laters.It also showed that the Thibetan Monkeys selected their foods in very narrow range.They must move a long distance to find foods.We considered that the monkeys were not so adaptive to wide environments.It might beoneof the reasons why this species distributed in small habitat and few quantities.
The Yulinkeng Troops home range had the highest altitude of 1310m,below the height of 8OOm where there was the farming area,so the home range only had a height of 40Om.Compared w ith other troops,the Yulinkeng Troop had its speciality and without vertical migration.The monkey's summer food were mainly the leaves of deciduous broad-leaved trees.Lacking of these trees in their home range,the monkeys had to move a long distance to find enough food.It meant that thetroop was capable of adjusting itself to adapt envirement.We considered that the characteristic of the utilization of seasonal home range was a kind of life pattern of the Thibetan Monkey in adapting its environment.
