“…Maternal infertility during lactation and the mother's own nutritional status determine birth interval length [Clutton-Brock et al, 1984;McFarland, 1987;Robinson, 1988;Di Bitetti and Janson, 2001]. We found the mean IBI for R. bieti at Xiangguqing was approximately 2 years, similar to that found in other wild populations of this species [Xiang and Sayers, 2009;Huang et al, 2012;Li et al, 2014a, b], in R. roxellana [Qi et al, 2008] and in species such as M. fuscata, M. mulatta [Takahata et al, 1998] and M. cyclopis [Hsu et al, 2001].…”

“…The endangered Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) lives in the eastern Himalayan highlands, bounded by the upper Yangtze River and Mekong Rivers [Long et al, 1994;Xiao et al, 2003;Li et al, 2010;Huang et al, 2012]. R. bieti is characterized by a multilevel society [Kirkpatrick et al, 1998;Kirkpatrick and Grueter, 2010;Ren et al, 2012], that is composed of 5-41 breeding units (one-male units, OMUs) and 1 or more all-male units (AMUs) [Grueter and Zinner, 2004;Ren et al, 2012;Grueter, 2013].…”

“…Xiang and Sayers [2009] found tightly synchronized births in their study population as well, with newborns observed from February to March. Huang et al [2012] and Li et al [2014a] suggested that wild R. bieti typically give birth from February to April.…”

Animal life activities are rhythmic and affected by seasonal periodicity. Based on 9 years of observations, we estimated the reproductive parameters of a wild, but provisioned Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) group at Xiangguqing in Baimaxueshan National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, China. We observed 84 infants (43 males and 41 females) from 41 females between 2010 and 2018. We found the birth sex ratio was 1: 1, the female age at first birth was 6.13 years and infant mortality was about 15.5%. Nine years of data showed that the maximum birth season lasted 126 days, and the average length per year was 98.57 ± 18.71 days. R. bieti, characterized by strictly seasonal reproduction, started giving birth on February 1, and this ended on June 7, with a peak reached from March 4 to March 11 (10th week). The mean birth date was March 20 (79.21 ± 29.54 days), and the median birth date was March 11 (71st day). The mean interbirth interval (IBI) was approximately 2 years, and the IBIs among females whose infants had survived for 1 year were found to be significantly longer than those found in females who lost their infant within 1 year. Comparing the reproduction parameters among Asian and African colobines, we concluded that Asian and African colo-

The vast accumulation of environmental data and the rapid development of geospatial visualization and analytical techniques make it possible for scientists to solicit information from local citizens to map spatial variation of geographic phenomena. However, data provided by citizens (referred to as citizen data in this article) suffer two limitations for mapping: bias in spatial coverage and imprecision in spatial location. This article presents an approach to minimizing the impacts of these two limitations of citizen data using geospatial analysis techniques. The approach reduces location imprecision by adopting a frequency-sampling strategy to identify representative presence locations from areas over which citizens observed the geographic phenomenon. The approach compensates for the spatial bias by weighting presence locations with cumulative visibility (the frequency at which a given location can be seen by local citizens). As a case study to demonstrate the principle, this approach was applied to map the habitat suitability of the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) in Yunnan, China. Sightings of R. bieti were elicited from local citizens using a geovisualization platform and then processed with the proposed approach to predict a habitat suitability map. Presence locations of R. bieti recorded by biologists through intensive field tracking were used to validate the predicted habitat suitability map. Validation showed that the continuous Boyce index (B cont (0.1)) calculated on the suitability map was 0.873 (95% CI: [0.810, 0.917]), indicating that the map was highly consistent with the fieldobserved distribution of R. bieti. B cont (0.1) was much lower (0.173) for the suitability map predicted based on citizen data when location imprecision was not reduced and even lower (−0.048) when there was no compensation for spatial bias. This indicates that the proposed approach effectively minimized the impacts of location imprecision and spatial bias in citizen data and therefore effectively improved the quality of mapped spatial variation using citizen data. It further implies that, with the application of geospatial analysis techniques to properly account for limitations in citizen data, valuable information embedded in such data can be extracted and used for scientific mapping.
