Recent assertions that the Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus) is a multiple-or serial-mounting species are incorrect. Data are presented from over 300 copulations observed among wild Moroccan Barbary macaques which establish empirically that males of this macaque species are single mounters. The average length of an ejaculatory copulation was 8.7 sec, with a range of 6 to 14 sec. Ejaculation occurred an average of 6.3 sec after mounting, with an average of nine pelvic thrusts per ejaculation. Males appeared capable of ejaculating twice within 16 min, and three consecutive times within 37 min. Characteristically, only one mount and ejaculation occurred during a sexual association between an estrous female and each of her consorting males. Schemes of macaque evolution which incorrectly classify Barbary macaques as a multiple-mounting species should be viewed cautiously.
最近声称巴巴里猕猴（猕猴属）是多次或连续交配的物种的说法是不正确的。本文展示了在摩洛哥野生巴巴里猕猴中观察到的300多次交配的数据，这些数据通过实证证明该猕猴物种的雄性是单次交配者。射精性交配的平均时长为8.7秒，范围在6至14秒之间。射精平均在交配后6.3秒发生，每次射精平均有9次骨盆推力。雄性似乎能够在16分钟内射精两次，在37分钟内连续射精三次。典型的情况是，在发情雌性与其每个交配雄性的性互动过程中，只发生一次交配和射精。那些将巴巴里猕猴错误地归类为多次交配物种的猕猴进化方案应谨慎看待。
