Préférence manuelle chez les gibbons by Luca Morino, Makiko Uchikoshi, Fred Bercovitch, William D Hopkins, Tetsuro Matsuzawa

“…Les liens entre la latéralisation du cerveau, le comportement positionnel et la communication vocale sont loin d’être élucidés. Un des problèmes est le manque de données chez certaines espèces-clés comme notamment au sein des hylobatidés, alors que ce taxon est particulièrement intéressant dans ce contexte : 1. ils sont très proches de l’homme et partagent un répertoire vocal complexe, ils pourraient donc partager certaines voies neurologiques pour leur vocalisation complexe ; 2. leur adaptation à l’arboricolie s’associe à des contraintes posturales uniques ; 3. il y a peu de données sur leur latéralité, et celles-ci sont contradictoires. …”

Richard Hurrell Froude et le spectre du désétablissement by Hervé Picton
