摘要

背景睾酮在非人灵长类动物的性行为调节中起着至关重要的作用，它主要通过增加交配行为和性动机来发挥作用。本研究分析了自由生活在安徽省黄山国家级自然保护区的五只成年雄性藏猕猴的粪便睾酮水平。目的是研究粪便中睾酮水平与性冲动行为之间的关系。方法我们共采集了426份粪便样本，并观察了约453小时的焦点取样行为数据。性动机行为分为性追逐、面无表情和性检查。结果结果表明，性动机行为与交配行为呈正相关。此外，所有三种性动机行为，包括性追逐、面无表情和性检查，都与粪便中的睾酮水平呈正相关。结论我们的研究结果表明，自由活动的藏猕猴的性冲动行为与粪便中的睾酮呈正相关。

Fecal testosterone levels positively correlated with sexually motivated behaviors in male Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana)

Background

Testosterone plays a crucial role in regulating sexual behavior among non-human primates, working primarily by increasing copulatory behavior and sexual motivation. In this study, we analyzed fecal testosterone levels in five adult male Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) living freely in the Huangshan National Reserve in Anhui Province. The aim was to investigate the relationships between fecal testosterone levels and sexually motivated behaviors.

Methods

We collected a total of 426 fecal samples and observed approximately 453 h of focal sampling behavioral data. Sexually motivated behaviors were categorized as sexual chase, grimace, and sexual-inspection.

Results

The results showed a positive correlation between sexually motivated behaviors and copulatory behavior. Furthermore, all the three sexually motivated behaviors, including sexual chase, grimace, and sexual-inspection, were positively correlated with fecal testosterone levels.

Conclusion

Our results demonstrated positive correlations between sexually motivated behaviors and fecal testosterone in free-ranging Tibetan macaques.
