We report observations on fur-rubbing with leaves from by a San Martín titi monkey, . Fur-rubbing occurred during the transition from the dry to the rainy season in a titi monkey group living in a forest fragment in the Moyobamba region of Peru. Since leaves include very potent compounds that may affect ectoparasites, we tentatively interpret the observed fur-rubbing as self-medication.
我们报告了秘鲁莫约班巴地区一个森林碎片中生活的一群伶猴在从旱季过渡到雨季期间用 树叶摩擦皮毛的观察情况。由于 树叶含有可能影响体表寄生虫的强效化合物,我们初步将观察到的皮毛摩擦行为解释为自我药疗。 (注:原文中“by a San Martín titi monkey, ”和“Since leaves”处信息不完整,以上译文是根据现有完整可译部分进行的翻译)
