9318784 Milton The role of food (and its distribution) as a basic determinant of group size and grouping patterns in primates is a much discussed topic. Despite the debate over the causes of sociality, it has been widely accepted that the size of a social group is limited by intragroup competition over access to feeding sites. In this regard, the size, abundance and dispersion patterns of resource patches on which a species feeds are believed to set a limit on the number of animals able to feed as a group due to intra group feeding competition. This project will study the relationship of food distribution and group size in an extreme situation - this animal, the black uakari monkey, reportedly lives in groups of about 100 in a very remote part of Amazonia. It will undoubtedly result in very interesting findings, especially as the species has never been studied before, and is considered endangered. The project will result in expert training of a new scientist. *** p:\anthro\jfried\9318784.abs

9318784 Milton 食物（及其分布）作为灵长类动物群体规模和分组模式的基本决定因素的作用是一个经常讨论的话题。 尽管对社会性的成因存在争论，但人们普遍认为，社会群体的规模受到群体内部对进食地点的竞争的限制。 在这方面，由于群体内的进食竞争，一个物种赖以生存的资源斑块的大小、丰度和分散模式被认为限制了能够作为群体进食的动物数量。 该项目将研究极端情况下食物分配与群体规模的关系 - 据报道，这种动物，即黑乌阿卡里猴，以大约 100 只群体生活在亚马逊流域的一个非常偏远的地区。 毫无疑问，这将带来非常有趣的发现，特别是因为该物种以前从未被研究过，并且被认为是濒临灭绝的。 该项目将对新科学家进行专家培训。 *** p:\anthro\jfried\9318784.abs
