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

“…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. Pour essayer de clarifier la situation, nous avons testé la préférence manuelle de 22 siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus) et 20 gibbons (8 Hylobates lar, 4 H. agilis, 4 H. muelleri, 3 H. pileatus, 1 Nomascus leucogenys), vivant en captivité au Japon. …”
