Anthropological Institute and Museum , University of ZürichIrchel , Switzerland Abstract 　From November 2000 to January 2002 , data on range patterns and other behaviors were collected for a band of Yunnan snubnosed monkeys Rhinopithecus bieti at Mt Fuhe (99°20 ′E , 26°25 ′N) to describe the seasonal variations of behaviors and their potential adaptations to a temperate environment. Due to the similarities of ranging patterns between following seasons , we pooled data and showed the results in categories of winterspring and summerautumn. The mon keys primarily fed on broad leaves and acted around sleeping sites yearround. In winterspring , the monkeys often stayed at lower altitudes , had shorter daily path distances , and fed more on broadleaves , bamboo leaves and shoots than in sum merautumn , which was characterized by a reverse ranging mode and by incorporating more fruits in their diet. These seasonal ranging patterns and diets suggest that the movements of R bieti at Mt Fuhe are results of compromise between food availability and temperature variations and coincide with the ranging patterns of other temperate monkeys. In addi tion , the distribution of sleeping sites also influenced the pattern of monke
