- Abstract
This paper documents our research on the community environments of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys(Rhinopithecus roxellana)at the Wolong National Nature Reserve(Wolong NNR), China using species spatial data captured by infrared cameras from 2017 to 2018, in order to understand its ecological relationship with other animal species. Results of spatial analyses demonstrated that 35 of the species formed two different spatial networks. Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys lived at low altitude in the former network with other 20 species. In addition, our analyses showed that(1)There was a mutually benefiting relationship between Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys and giant pandas(Ailuropoda melanoleuca), which may be because the activities of each species modify habitats so that it becomes more suitable to each other. (2)The existing ecological data cannot explain the mutually benefiting relationship between Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys and yellow-throated martens(Martes flavigula)and the asymmetric benefiting relationship between Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys and forest musk deers(Moschus berezovskii), so further ecological observation is needed. (3)There was an asymmetric association between Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys and red pandas(Ailurus fulgens), indicating that red pandas may provide suitable habitats for Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys. (4)Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys were associated with species including sambars(Rusa unicolor), tufted deers(Elaphodus cephalophus)and Chinese porcupines(Hystrix brachyura), and moderate niche separation existed between the monkeys and the three species. (5)Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys not only benefited from the community, but also contributed to its maintenance.
