Behavioral and ecological consequences of sex-based differences in gustatory anatomy in Cebus apella.

Fungiform papillae (FPs) are the only gustatory structures on the anterior tongue. Taste buds (TBs), which are located in FPs, house taste receptors. Each TB has a taste pore (TP) by which tastants are transmitted.

Perinatal size and maturation of the olfactory and vomeronasal neuroepithelia in lorisoids and lemuroids.

Explanations for the chemosensory abilities of newborn mammals focus primarily on food (milk) acquisition and communication (e.g., maternal-infant bonding).

Comparative analysis of the role of olfaction and the neocortex in primate intrasexual competition.

In strepsirrhine primates, the accessory olfactory system plays an important role in intrasexual competition. However, it does not play the same role in most haplorhines. In these primates, the main olfactory system and neocortex may have evolved to serve similar functions as the accessory olfactory system in strepsirrhines.
