From September 2015 to August 2016,we investigated the distribution and quantity of primates in the Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve.The distribution and abundance of vegetation affected by the season,which indirectly affect the migration of primates;we used random sampling and focused animal sampling to track and record the behavior of the Tibetan macaque.After analysis,it is known that the behavior of the Tibetan monarch is based on the social hierarchy,and the low-order Tibetan monkeys can make their own better survival in the community through the investment of certain social acts.The main results are as follows:1.Through a “V” line surveys: In Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve,there are14 groups in the golden monkey in the spring,and 6 groups in the winter,a total of700,select the elevation of 1700-2500 m and traces of activity have been found in various habitats;Tibetan macaque are divided into 7 groups of 366,Rhesus Macaque is only 1 group of 51,they long-term activities in the area of 1400-2100 m above sea level,the evergreen forest as the main habitat type.2.The social behavior of Tibetan macaque increases with age:(1)3 months ago,mainly to maintain the survival of individual behavior;about 3 months old and later,starting down in the vicinity of the female monkey or other individual,and to 6months of age,began to have a social nature of the play;(2)During the juvenile period,or to play as the main social behavior(such as climbing,fighting,etc.),while taking the initiative to try to interact with other individuals social activities;(3)During the youth,mainly with the adult individual social interaction,and gradually learn other social behavior(such as mating,intimidation,etc.);(4)After adulthood,social behavior is rich(such as making faces,attacks,hugs,etc.),and can understand the meaning of social behavior.3.During the study period,a total of 306 times were collected from the Tibetan monkeys,and the yield behavior was 271 times,and the hairiness was 836(total3126.25 min,averaging 3.74 min each),we calculate the advantages of the index: adult male 0.94±0.68;adult female 0.7±0.39;young male 0.46±0.41;young female0.28±0.28;less 0.12±0.09,to determine the grade of the order: adult male> adult female> young female> young male> juvenile,attack(R=0.88,P=0.049<0.05)and yield(R=0.78,P=0.047<0.05)and rank in linear correlation and significant differences,acceptance of grooming a long and rank in a significant difference(R =9.16,P = 0.029 < 0.05).The higher the order,the more attack the number of attacks,the fewer the number of yield,the longer the time to accept the hair.
