摘要

嗅觉是进化过程中最古老的感官之一,在哺乳动物的觅食和社会交往中扮演着重要角色。在灵长类动物中,嗅觉的作用现已得到广泛认可,但对链胸类和板胸类灵长类动物的研究要好于猫科动物。我们在德国阿芬贝格塞勒姆(Affenberg Salem)观察了半自由活动的巴巴里猕猴(Macaca sylvanus)的嗅探行为,以评估猕猴嗅探的频率和环境,以及嗅探受性别和年龄的影响。对 24 只 1-25 岁的雄性和 24 只雌性猕猴进行的重点观察表明,巴巴利猕猴平均每小时嗅闻 5.24 次,其中超过 80% 的嗅闻是针对食物的。无论在什么情况下,年幼的猕猴都比年长的猕猴嗅得更勤。雌性嗅闻食物的次数多于雄性,而雄性在社交场合的嗅闻次数多于雌性。对同类的嗅闻主要发生在性场合,70%的社交嗅闻是由雄性针对雌性生殖器肿胀进行的。在观察到的 176 次肛门检查中,有 51 次涉及嗅闻肿胀部位。嗅觉检查之后进行交配的频率明显低于视觉检查,这表明雌性生殖器的气味可能在雄性交配决定中起到一定作用,但嗅觉在性互动中的作用还需要进一步研究。总之,研究结果表明,巴巴利猕猴不仅在进食过程中经常使用嗅觉,而且在社会性活动中也经常使用嗅觉,这证实了嗅觉在猫科灵长类动物生活中的重要性。

Sniffing behavior of semi free-ranging Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus)

Olfaction is one of the evolutionarily oldest senses and plays a fundamental role in foraging and social interactions across mammals. In primates, the role of olfaction is now well recognized, but better investigated in strepsirrhine and platyrrhine primates than in catarrhines. We observed the sniffing behavior of semi-free ranging Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus, at Affenberg Salem, Germany, to assess how frequently macaques sniff and in which contexts, and how sniffing is affected by sex and age. Focal observations of 24 males and 24 females aged 1–25 years showed that Barbary macaques sniffed, on average, 5.24 times per hour, with more than 80% of sniffs directed at food. Irrespective of the context, younger individuals sniffed more often than older ones. Females’ sniffs were more often directed at food than male sniffs, while males sniffed more often than females in a social context. Sniffs at conspecifics occurred primarily in a sexual context, with 70% of social sniffs directed at female anogenital swellings performed by males. Of the observed 176 anogenital inspections, 51 involved sniffing of the swelling. Olfactory inspections were followed by copulation significantly less often than merely visual inspections, suggesting that anogenital odors may play a role in male mating decisions, but the role of olfaction in sexual interactions warrants further investigations. In sum, results show that Barbary macaques routinely use olfaction during feeding, but also in a socio-sexual context, corroborating the relevance of the olfactory sense in the lives of catarrhine primates.

期刊介绍: The objective of the American Journal of Primatology is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and findings among primatologists and to convey our increasing understanding of this order of animals to specialists and interested readers alike. Primatology is an unusual science in that its practitioners work in a wide variety of departments and institutions, live in countries throughout the world, and carry out a vast range of research procedures. Whether we are anthropologists, psychologists, biologists, or medical researchers, whether we live in Japan, Kenya, Brazil, or the United States, whether we conduct naturalistic observations in the field or experiments in the lab, we are united in our goal of better understanding primates. Our studies of nonhuman primates are of interest to scientists in many other disciplines ranging from entomology to sociology.
