Live pet trade has become one of the greatest threats to wild primate populations. Many primates were imported to Japan, and the country is considered to be a large pet primates market. Among the primates, slow lorises (Nycticebus spp.) were among the most popular species for live pet trade. However, there is not much awareness in Japan about the problems associated with live pet trade, especially among the young generation. In this study, a comic book about slow lorises was created, and its effectiveness as a teaching material for young people was evaluated. The participants, who answered an online survey, included 596 high school students from two high schools in Osaka, Japan. The participants accessed a comic book, short text, or long text, which served as teaching materials, and answered several questions before and after reading the materials such as their experience with pet primates and awareness of the problems. The results revealed that although the participants’ awareness related to infectious diseases, animal welfare, and conservation increased after reading any of the three teaching materials, the comic book did not increase their awareness more than the texts. Approximately 75 % of the participants found each of the materials interesting. Furthermore, approximately between 32.0 and 40.9% of respondents were willing to share information directly with others and between 14.5 and 16.5% of those with SNS (Social Network Service). No differences were found among the three conditions. In addition, while actual experience with primate pets prevented them from promoting awareness about the problem, their level of interest toward animals and experience with primate pets in SNS did not reveal such an effect. These results suggest the importance of providing information, but effective ways to convey information requires further investigation.

メスが寿命よりも数十年も早く繁殖を終えるという「閉経」は、これまでヒトとクジラ類でしか確認されたことのない非常に稀な進化しにくい形質で、ヒトでなぜ閉経が進化したかについては未だに解明されていない。ヒトに最も系統的に近いチンパンジー・ボノボにおいても、閉経の有無は未だに決着がついていない。本研究は、これまで長期継続調査を続けたウガンダ共和国カリンズ森林保護区の野生チンパンジーとコンゴ民主共和国ルオー科学保護区の野生ボノボを対象に、非侵襲的に収集する尿試料による性ホルモンの動態分析を行い、加齢による性生理の変化と閉経の有無について明らかにする。さらに、閉経の進化に関係する社会的・繁殖戦略的な要因、つまり、老齢メスの子どもの生存率や母親から子どもへのサポートによる孫世代の繁殖成功度の増加などについても調べ、大きな議論を呼んでいる「おばあさん仮設」の検証を行う。平成31年度においては、研究代表者の橋本がウガンダ共和国カリンズ森林保護区で野生チンパンジーを対象とした調査を行い、現地調査補助員によるホルモン試料収集と老齢メスの行動記録を行った。また、研究代表者の橋本と研究分担者の徳山がコンゴ民主共和国ルオー科学保護区で野生ボノボを対象とした調査を行い、現地調査補助員によるホルモン試料収集と老齢メスの行動記録を行った。さらに、分担者の宮部と研究協力者の毛利がホルモン試料の分析について実験を開始した。また、これまでに採取した尿試料についてのホルモン分析を行い、学術誌に投稿するための論文を準備・投稿を行い、学会で発表した。
