Abstract: Reproduction of Tibetan monkeys troop in Yulingkeng of Huangshan Mountain was
seasonality,and it belongs to the birth rhythm pattern.Mean birth date was April 2 according to the records of birth in 1988,1990 and 1992.The age of sexual maturation of female monkeys averges 5.4±0.5 years old.The reproductive rate of females were affected by physiological and social factors.Females at the age of 7-12 years old possessed the higher birth rate.Birth rate of high-ranking females was not only higher than those of low-ranking ones,but the birth date of them was also earlier.Besides,we first suggested that the reproductive experience of a female affected the birth of next year.

摘要: 黄山短尾猴鱼鳞坑群为季节性繁殖,属产仔节律型。据1988、1990和1992年有全年婴猴出生日期的记录,计算出平均产仔日期在4月2日。雌猴性成熟年龄为5.4士0.5岁,其繁殖率受年龄和个体在群内的社会顺位的不同而有所不同。顺位高的繁殖率高,产仔时间亦早。本文还首次提出了雌性产仔经历对下一年度产仔影响的数据。
