为什么中国对促进灵长类学发展如此重要?

Why China is important in advancing the field of primatology

  • 摘要: 在过去的几十年中,中国灵长类学家在懒猴、猕猴、叶猴、金丝猴和长臂猿的行为学、生态学、生物学、遗传学和保护生物学方面做出了重要的理论创新和实践贡献。随着中国灵长类学会在2017年成立及创立大会的圆满召开,中国已经成为灵长类学研究的领军国家。尽管面临着习惯化和观察生活在山地温带森林的野生灵长类动物这样极具困难的挑战,但是依然有一些科研团队在这样的区域开展了长期的研究工作。实际上,中国的25–27种灵长类动物中的80%都处于易危、濒危或极危状态,分布在小的孤立的亚种群中。在未来的研究中,中国灵长类学家应该更多地关注生活在高海拔和寒冷的温带森林中灵长类动物面临的社会、生态、生理和营养挑战的季节性差异。另外,由于很难控制投食对种群波动、栖息地利用模式和觅食生态学的影响,因此应减少或者消除投食作为习惯化的方法。在接下来的十年里,中国灵长类学家应考虑在亚洲、非洲或者新热带区的其它地方开展研究,从而丰富研究类群的多样性。

     

    Abstract: Over the past few decades, field studies conducted by Chinese primatologists have contributed significant new theoretical and empirical insights into the behavior, ecology, biology, genetics, and conservation of lorises, macaques, langurs, snub-nosed monkeys, and gibbons. With the recent establishment and inaugural meeting of the China Primatological Society in 2017, China has emerged as a leading nation in primate research. Several research teams have conducted long-term studies despite the difficult challenges of habituating and observing wild primates inhabiting mountainous temperate forests, and the fact that some 80% of China’s 25–27 primate species are considered vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered and are distributed in small isolated subpopulations. In going forward, it is recommended that primatologists in China increase their focus on seasonal differences in the social, ecological, physiological, and nutritional challenges primates face in exploiting high altitude and cold temperate forests. In addition, provisioning as a habitation tool should be minimized or eliminated, as it is difficult to control for its effects on group dynamics, patterns of habitat utilization, and feeding ecology. Finally in the next decade, Chinese primatologists should consider expanding the taxonomic diversity of species studied by conducting research in other parts of Asia, Africa, and the Neotropics.
