Hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism of evolutionary change in the order Primates. Here, we present the first observational data supporting natural hybridization between the critically endangered purple-faced langur ( Semnopithecus vetulus philbricki ) and the threatened tufted gray langur ( Semnopithecus priam thersites ) in Kaludiyapokuna Forest Reserve in Sri Lanka. In one case study, we observed a long-term (> 1 year) mixed-species group consisting of one adult tufted gray langur male coexisting with seven adult purple-faced females. Although copulations were not observed, two infants were conceived during the male’s tenure, and the coat color of one of these infants transitioned into that intermediate between those of the two langur species. The tufted gray langur male was also aggressive toward extra-group males of both species, as well as towards purple-faced juveniles within his group. However, we never witnessed the male exhibiting aggression towards the infants conceived during his tenure. In a second case study, a female purple-faced langur visited and sexually solicited a tufted gray langur male in a known study group of this species over the course of 2 days, in what resembled a sexual consortship. Taken together, the observed mixed-species association and attempted interspecific mating suggest that hybridization is very likely in these sympatric species. Genetic data are needed to confirm and determine the extent of hybridization in the dry zone of Sri Lanka where purple-faced langurs live in sympatry with tufted gray langurs.

混合物种关联和试图交配表明斯里兰卡紫面和簇状灰叶猴之间的杂交

杂交越来越被认为是灵长类动物进化变化的重要机制。在这里,我们展示了第一个支持斯里兰卡 Kaludiyapokuna 森林保护区极度濒危的紫面叶猴 (Semnopithecus vetulus philbricki) 和受威胁的丛生灰叶叶猴 (Semnopithecus priam thersites) 自然杂交的观测数据。在一个案例研究中,我们观察到一个长期(> 1 年)混合物种组,其中包括一只成年簇绒灰叶猴雄性与七只成年紫脸雌性共存。虽然没有观察到交配,但在雄性叶猴的任期内怀上了两个婴儿,其中一个婴儿的毛色转变为两种叶猴物种之间的中间色。丛生的灰叶猴雄性也对这两个物种的组外雄性以及其组内的紫脸幼体具有攻击性。然而,我们从未见过男性对他任职期间怀上的婴儿表现出攻击性。在第二个案例研究中,一只雌性紫脸叶猴在 2 天的时间里拜访了该物种的一个已知研究组中的一只簇状灰叶叶猴并对其进行性征集,这类似于性伴侣。总之,观察到的混合物种关联和尝试的种间交配表明在这些同域物种中很可能发生杂交。需要遗传数据来确认和确定斯里兰卡干旱地区的杂交程度,那里的紫面叶猴与成簇的灰叶叶猴生活在同一地区。以及针对他团内的紫脸少年。然而,我们从未见过男性对他任职期间怀上的婴儿表现出攻击性。在第二个案例研究中,一只雌性紫脸叶猴在 2 天的时间里拜访了该物种的一个已知研究组中的一只簇状灰叶叶猴并对其进行性征集,这类似于性伴侣。总之,观察到的混合物种关联和尝试的种间交配表明在这些同域物种中很可能发生杂交。需要遗传数据来确认和确定斯里兰卡干旱地区的杂交程度,那里的紫面叶猴与成簇的灰叶叶猴生活在同一地区。以及针对他团内的紫脸少年。然而,我们从未见过男性对他任职期间怀上的婴儿表现出攻击性。在第二个案例研究中,一只雌性紫面叶猴在 2 天的时间里拜访了该物种的一个已知研究组中的一只簇状灰叶叶猴,并对其进行性征集,这类似于性伴侣。总之,观察到的混合物种关联和尝试的种间交配表明在这些同域物种中很可能发生杂交。需要遗传数据来确认和确定斯里兰卡干旱地区的杂交程度,那里的紫面叶猴与成簇的灰叶叶猴生活在同一地区。在第二个案例研究中,一只雌性紫脸叶猴在 2 天的时间里拜访了该物种的一个已知研究组中的一只簇状灰叶叶猴并对其进行性征集,这类似于性伴侣。总之,观察到的混合物种关联和尝试的种间交配表明在这些同域物种中很可能发生杂交。需要遗传数据来确认和确定斯里兰卡干旱地区的杂交程度,那里的紫面叶猴与成簇的灰叶叶猴生活在同一地区。在第二个案例研究中,一只雌性紫脸叶猴在 2 天的时间里拜访了该物种的一个已知研究组中的一只簇状灰叶叶猴并对其进行性征集,这类似于性伴侣。总之,观察到的混合物种关联和尝试的种间交配表明在这些同域物种中很可能发生杂交。需要遗传数据来确认和确定斯里兰卡干旱地区的杂交程度,那里的紫面叶猴与成簇的灰叶叶猴生活在同一地区。观察到的混合物种关联和尝试的种间交配表明在这些同域物种中很可能发生杂交。需要遗传数据来确认和确定斯里兰卡干旱地区的杂交程度,那里的紫面叶猴与成簇的灰叶叶猴生活在同一地区。观察到的混合物种关联和尝试的种间交配表明在这些同域物种中很可能发生杂交。需要遗传数据来确认和确定斯里兰卡干旱地区的杂交程度,那里的紫面叶猴与成簇的灰叶叶猴生活在同一地区。
