Abstract:
Dominance hierarchies are common in social mammals, especially primates. The formation of socialhierarchies is conducive to solving the problem of the allocation of scarce resources among individuals.From August 2015 to July 2016, we observed a wild, provisioned Yunnan snub-nosed monkey(Rhinopithecus bieti) group at Xiangguqing in Baimaxueshan National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province,China. Aggressive and submissive behaviors were used to investigate dominance hierarchies betweenfemale individuals in the same one-male unit (OMU), and the grooming reciprocity index was used todetect reciprocal relationships between these females within the OMU. The results showed that loosesocial hierarchies exist among the females in each OMU, and more dominant individuals have highergrooming incomes. These results are consistent with the aggressive-submissive hypothesis and theresource control hypothesis.
