The stump-tailed macaque, Macaca arctoides, is the most distinctive of its genus in terms of reproductive anatomy and behavior. The ultimate challenge is to clarify why unique reproductive traits have evolved in this species. Although there have been some previous studies of sexual behavior in this species, the animals studied were born in captivity or reared in laboratory conditions that do not reflect their natural environment. Because very few ecological and ethological studies have been conducted under natural conditions, there is still a lack of knowledge about this species. This was the starting point for this study. As the main outcome of this study, long-term behavioral observations were conducted with a wild population of stump-tailed macaques, and the mating strategies of the males were analyzed based on behavioral data. In parallel with this behavioral study, my colleagues and I conducted paternity tests using 10 microsatellite DNA markers on DNA samples collected using our newly developed non-invasive sampling method. The results of the paternity tests will be compared with the behavioral data to determine whether the mating strategies of the males have provided them with reproductive success. In the process of comparing mating strategies and reproductive success, a number of ancillary results were obtained, including a discussion of the unique facial expressions seen during copulating and the function of copulation calls by males. In this article, I describe and organize the background of each of these results and provide future perspectives.

I performed a phenological survey on the plant diets of wild Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) on Kinkazan Island, northern Japan. I conducted a monthly survey between April 2021 and March 2023, during which I checked leafing, flowering, and fruiting of 31 plant species along pre-set routes within the home range of a target macaque troop. Subsequently, I examined the relationship between phenology and the macaques’ feeding pattern. For leaves and flowers, the feeding seasons of most plant species corresponded with the first half of the leafing and flowering seasons, respectively. For fruits, on the other hand, feeding often continued after their fruiting season, which may likely be due to macaques’ feeding on fallen fruits on the ground. Additionally, I found that several nut/achene species did not fruit during the study period, likely due to interannual variation in fruiting. To better estimate food availability, which is essential for understanding the feeding strategies of macaques, it may be necessary to perform combined phenological and vegetation surveys across multiple years for obtaining plant density.
