Abstract: From September 2011 to June 2012,using instantaneous and scan sampling methods,we collected data,with 10 min interval,on huddling behaviors between individuals of troop Wangwu 1 (WW - 1)of Taihangshan macaque (Macaca mulatta tcheliensis)inhabiting the Taihangshan Macaque National Nature Reserve (TMNNR),and then analyzed the individual social affiliation within troop WW - 1. The results showed that:(1)huddling among individuals of troop WW -1 was categorized into 5 huddling groups,and huddling behavior was more frequently observed in adult females inside a given unit (84. 21% );(2)individual ages and sexes significantly influenced frequency of huddling behaviors. The sexual dimorphism of huddling behavior arose during the subadult period;and (3)proportions of social affiliations that happened between mother and offspring was significantly larger than that of the other huddling types. Our results indicated that,within Taihangshan macaque society,social affiliation exhibited a web-like structure based on matrilineal units,and that the mother-offspring link was the strongest affiliation inside a unit. We established the affiliation sociogram of Taihangshan macaques based on method of behavioral ecology,and we hope this will be helpful for better understanding socioecology of rhesus macaques.
