Black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti) have almost never been the subject of any behavioural observations in captivity. This study was aimed at providing preliminary information about agonistic and reconciliation behaviour in a group kept at the Kunming Institute of Zoology in China. Established procedures were used for this investigation (i.e., the postconflict/matched-control method and the time-rule method). Intra-group aggression rates were quite low. Postconflict affiliation as well as selective attraction of former opponents to each other following conflicts was demonstrated. Former opponents contacted each other earlier in postconflict periods than in matched-control periods. The average conciliatory tendency of all focal individuals combined was 54.5%. After an agonistic interaction, the first affiliative contact between former aggressors usually took place within the first minute. The behaviours most often shown as first affiliations after a conflict were body contact, mount, touch, and "hold-lumbar", of which the latter is an explicit reconciliatory gesture. Furthermore, the adult male intervened non-aggressively in 84% of all conflicts (n=25) among the adult females. Overall, the patterns of aggression and reconciliation observed in R. bieti bear many of the traits that characterise tolerant primate species.
黑白仰鼻猴(滇金丝猴)在圈养环境中几乎从未成为任何行为观察的对象。本研究旨在提供关于在中国昆明动物研究所饲养的一群黑白仰鼻猴的攻击行为与和解行为的初步信息。本调查采用了既定程序(即冲突后/配对对照法和时间规则法)。组内攻击率相当低。研究证明了冲突后的亲和行为以及冲突后前对手之间相互的选择性吸引。前对手在冲突后时期比在配对对照时期更早地相互接触。所有焦点个体的平均和解倾向为54.5%。在一次攻击互动后,前攻击者之间的首次亲和接触通常在第一分钟内发生。冲突后最常表现为首次亲和行为的是身体接触、爬上、触摸和“抱腰”,其中后者是一种明确的和解姿态。此外,成年雄性在成年雌性之间的所有冲突(n = 25)中有84%进行了非攻击性干预。总体而言,在滇金丝猴中观察到的攻击与和解模式具有许多宽容灵长类物种的特征。
