Wear striations on the incisiors of Old World monkeys were examined in order to determine associations between the distributions of striations, diet and habitat preference. Significant differences exist between the Cercopithecinae and the Colobinae in respect to the orientation of incisor wear striations. In the Colobinae striations are oriented in a predominantly mesiodistal direction. In the Cercopithecinae straitions usually have a labiolingual orientation. Comparisons of terrestrial and arboreal genera indicate that significant differences exist between the two groups in respect to the density of striations on the occlusal wear facets of maxillary central incisiors. Arboreal and terrestrial monkeys also differ in the frequency of individual incisor wear facets completely devoid of wear striations.
为了确定磨痕分布、饮食和栖息地偏好之间的关联，对旧世界猴的门齿磨痕进行了检查。猕猴亚科和叶猴亚科在门齿磨痕的方向上存在显著差异。在叶猴亚科中，磨痕主要沿近远中方向分布。在猕猴亚科中，磨痕通常呈唇舌向。对陆生和树栖属的比较表明，两组在上颌中切牙咬合磨面的磨痕密度方面存在显著差异。树栖和陆生猴子在完全没有磨痕的单个门齿磨面的频率上也有所不同。
