Gibbons are characterized by monogamy, territoriality, frugivory, mated adults' duets, and brachiation. Most species inhabit tropical, low altitude rainforests. Black gibbons (Hylobates concolor) are distributed in seasonal environments where fruits are uncommon. Increased folivory may have selected for polygyny. H. c. jingdongensis and H. c. concolor of the Wuliang and Ailao Mountains, Yunnan Province, China, were selected for this study.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Gibbons are characterized by monogamy, territoriality, frugivory, mated adults' duets, and brachiation. Most species inhabit tropical, low altitude rainforests. Black gibbons (Hylobates concolor) are distributed in seasonal environments where fruits are uncommon. Increased folivory may have selected for polygyny. H. c. jingdongensis and H. c. concolor of the Wuliang and Ailao Mountains, Yunnan Province, China, were selected for this study.
520 $a Plant samples were collected from trees gibbons used. Behavioral data were collected ad lib. I recorded climate data daily.
520 $a I collected data on dueting behavior to test its seasonal determinants. Black gibbons sang longer in the wet season (median duration = 12.65 minutes versus 10.84 minutes, p = 0.038, Rank Sum Test). More song bouts occurred daily in the wet season, which may be attributable to the availability and/or distribution of preferred fruits.
520 $a I had 3,052 minutes (n = 193) of black gibbon contact time, which increases this species' data by 400%. Gibbons spent 36% of the contact time foraging, 18% feeding, 17% singing, 14% traveling, 8% resting, 4% engaged in other activities, and 3% disputing. Season impacted on activities, with more feeding, singing, and other activities occurring in the wet season and more traveling, resting, and disputing noted in the dry season. Dry season disputes may be due to more travel causing elevated probabilities of interfamily encounters.
520 $a Black gibbons ate leaves during 25% of the contact time, fruit 26%, and both 36% (unknown = 13%). Elaeocarpus is the primary dry season fruit, while Schizandra and Ficus are important in the wet season. Gibbons acquired these and other foods by foraging 56% and feeding 44% of wet season contact time. Corresponding dry season values are 75% forage and 25% feed.
520 $a Repeated contacts with four focal families indicate monogamy in the two study subspecies. Gibbon density is 2.60 individuals per km$\sp2$. Average family size is 5.0-5.25 individuals. Habitat fragmentation within reserves may slow subadult dispersal, resulting in atypical family sizes and compositions. Information collected in this study demonstrates the array of ecological conditions gibbons can tolerate while remaining monogamous.
