主　　题：Proximity Nomascus concolor Polygynous Social network 

摘      要：We investigated the structure and seasonality of the proximity network in a group of polygynous western black crested gibbons(Nomascus concolor)using social network *** spatial proximity changed seasonally and was affected by temperature and *** proximity association was not distributed randomly among *** was one explanation for the social structure,as offspring preferred to maintain close proximity with their *** proximity of infants to mothers decreased with age,and independent offspring had lower proximity to mothers than dependent *** found that the adult male had different proximity relationships with two different adult *** frequency of proximity between the male and the infant-carrying female was significantly higher than that between the male and the female who had immigrated carrying one offspring of uncertain paternity into the *** avoidance and/or predation protection for dependent infants might explain the proximity relationship *** influenced group proximity association,with individual proximity increasing in the cold months and decreasing in the hot *** proximity decreased in months with higher anthropogenic disturbance.
