Abstract

The recent rise of a high-ranking adult male chimpanzee to the alpha male position of the Gombe National Park's Kasakela chimpanzee community is reported. The male Figan is the fourth individual to assume this status in the wild chimpanzees' social hierarchy during Goodall's 16 year study in Tanzania. The paper describes the overthrow of the previous top-ranking male, and the manner in which Figan has maintained his new position after the take-over. Emphasis is placed upon his relationship with his elder male sibling, Faben, and the second highest-ranking male in the community, Evered.

摘要

据报道，一只成年雄性黑猩猩最近在贡贝国家公园的卡萨凯拉黑猩猩群落中崛起，成为首领。在古道尔于坦桑尼亚进行的16年研究中，雄性黑猩猩菲甘是野生黑猩猩社会等级制度中第四个获得这一地位的个体。该论文描述了之前的首领雄性被推翻的过程，以及菲甘在接管后维持其新地位的方式。重点讲述了它与它的兄长法本以及群落中第二高等级的雄性埃弗雷德之间的关系。
