Abstract

Behavioral responses (duration and frequencies of sniffing, scent marking activity) were studied in one captive group each ofL. fulvus andL. macaco when confronted with their own and other species' scent marks. Both species showed less interest in neutral objects or objects carrying their own group's odor than odors from an unfamiliar group of the same species or from another lemur species. The persistence of scent marks was also investigated.L. fulvus scent appeared to possess greater longevity thanL. macaco scent. Olfactory long-term memory was analyzed inL. fulvus. The results showed that familiar rejected group members could be discriminated from an unfamiliar conspecific through odor cues 10 months after their eviction from the group.

摘要

当面对自己和其他物种的气味标记时，我们对一组圈养的L. fulvus 和 L. macaco 进行了行为反应（嗅探和气味标记行为的持续时间和频率）研究。与自身群体的气味或中性物体相比，两个物种对来自陌生群体的相同物种或其他狐猴物种的气味表现出较低的兴趣。我们还研究了气味标记的持久性。L. fulvus 的气味似乎比 L. macaco 的气味更持久。我们分析了 L. fulvus 的嗅觉长期记忆。结果表明，通过气味线索，在将熟悉的被逐出群体的成员逐出群体 10 个月后，可以将其与不熟悉的同种个体区分开来。
