摘要：

Recently developed DNA fingerprinting techniques employing "minisatellite" hypervariable regions of DNA proved useful for investigating male reproductive success in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata), for which other conventional behavioral or biochemical methods were impracticable. The identified paternity in a captive group indicated that inbreeding was avoided within the same maternal lineage and that females did not tend to give birth to offspring fathered by the same males during their life. It also revealed the possibility of a correlation between male dominance rank and number of offspring. © 1990 Japan Monkey Center.
