2 Figure 1 Responses of group members to the death of an adult female Rhinopithecus roxellana. (A) The adult female ‘DM’ lingered on the fringe of the group. (B) Blood was visible on DM’s nostrils (white arrow). (C) AMU members watched the adult female, about 8 metres away (white arrow). (D,E) The OMU male (ZBD, yellow arrow) approached and looked toward DM, about 10 metres away (white arrow). (F) ZBD moved toward and sat near DM. (G) ZBD with identifying white mark on the left side of his face (yellow arrow). (H) ZBD (yellow arrow) and DM (white arrow) moved towards other members of their unit. (I) ZBD and DM sat together in a tree. (J) The unit members including ZBD and DM’s offspring (yellow arrow) gathered around DM (white arrow) after she fell. (K) DM shortly after dying. (L) ZBD sat and looked back toward DM’s body, about 50 metres away (white arrow). Yellow arrow: direction in which the group moved.
