In a previous paper, we suggested that gorilla silverback males used odour as a chemosignal about levels of risk during interactions with extra-group males. We suggested that, rather than being monotonically associated with arousal as Masi and Bouret have now proposed in their commentary, the strength of an odour was a variable response to within as well as between group risks. We all agree that the phenomenon needs further investigation.
在之前的一篇论文中，我们提出大猩猩成年雄性首领在与群外雄性互动时，会将气味用作一种关于风险水平的化学信号。我们认为，气味的强度并非如马西和布雷特在他们的评论中所提出的那样，与唤醒状态呈单调关联，而是对群体内部和群体之间的风险做出的一种可变反应。我们都认同这一现象需要进一步研究。
