Description
Summary:Five bisexual groups (four unimale and one multimale) were studied at Ambagarh Reserve Forest from 1985 to 1987 in relation to factors influencing departures of male juveniles from their natal troops. Of 20 male juveniles observed, 11 left their natal groups, 4 died or disappeared, and 5 remained. The male juveniles left their natal groups only after a takeover by a new adult male. The weaned juvenile males either were chased away by the new adult male or left voluntarily.
