Lemur catta male exchange occurred throughout the reserve at Berenty and affected change in the composition of most, if not all, of the twelve troops in the reserve. Males migrate into troops with which they are already familiar. Inter-troop encounters may serve to increase a male's knowledge of a potential new home. Extensive overlap in home ranges may facilitate this process. An important result of migration in L. catta is the avoidance of inbreeding in a species whose females form stable groups over long periods of time and do not breed out of their troop.
环尾狐猴雄性的交换在贝伦蒂保护区内随处发生，影响了保护区内十二支狐猴群中大部分（如果不是全部）群体的组成变化。雄性会迁移到它们已经熟悉的群体中。群体间的相遇可能有助于增加雄性对潜在新家的了解。活动范围的广泛重叠可能会促进这一过程。环尾狐猴迁移的一个重要结果是避免了近亲繁殖，因为该物种的雌性会在很长一段时间内形成稳定的群体，并且不会与群体外的个体繁殖。
