Abstract

Terrestriality is relatively rare in the predominantly arboreal primate order. How frequently, and when, terrestriality appears in primate evolution, and the factors that influence this behavior, are not well understood. To investigate this, we compiled data describing terrestriality in 515 extant nonhuman primate taxa. We describe the geographic and phylogenetic distribution of terrestriality, including an ancestral state reconstruction estimating the frequency and timing of evolutionary transitions to terrestriality. We review hypotheses concerning the evolution of primate terrestriality and test these using data we collected pertaining to characteristics including body mass and diet, and ecological factors including forest structure, food availability, weather, and predation pressure. Using Bayesian analyses, we find body mass and normalized difference vegetation index are the most reliable predictors of terrestriality. When considering subsets of taxa, we find ecological factors such as forest height and rainfall, and not body mass, are the most reliable predictors of terrestriality for platyrrhines and lemurs.

灵长目动物的地栖性:灵长类地面利用的回顾与分析。
在以树栖为主的灵长类动物中,地栖性相对罕见。人们对灵长类动物进化过程中出现陆栖行为的频率和时间,以及影响这种行为的因素还不甚了解。为了研究这个问题,我们汇编了 515 个现存非人灵长类类群中描述陆栖行为的数据。我们描述了陆生动物的地理分布和系统发育,包括对祖先状态的重建,估计了进化到陆生动物的频率和时间。我们回顾了有关灵长类陆生进化的假说,并利用我们收集的有关特征(包括体重和饮食)和生态因素(包括森林结构、食物供应、天气和捕食压力)的数据对这些假说进行了检验。通过贝叶斯分析,我们发现体重和归一化差异植被指数是预测陆栖性的最可靠指标。在考虑分类群的子集时,我们发现森林高度和降雨量等生态因素,而不是体重,是预测板栗猴和狐猴陆生性的最可靠因素。

期刊介绍: Evolutionary Anthropology is an authoritative review journal that focuses on issues of current interest in biological anthropology, paleoanthropology, archaeology, functional morphology, social biology, and bone biology — including dentition and osteology — as well as human biology, genetics, and ecology. In addition to lively, well-illustrated articles reviewing contemporary research efforts, this journal also publishes general news of relevant developments in the scientific, social, or political arenas. Reviews of noteworthy new books are also included, as are letters to the editor and listings of various conferences. The journal provides a valuable source of current information for classroom teaching and research activities in evolutionary anthropology.
