Abstract
The relationship between visual and olfactory cues and their relative importance in interactions between pairs of adult male ring-tailed lemurs was determined. Visual and olfactory contact was controlled. When visual contact was prevented, little behavior occurred. When visual contact was permitted, olfactory cues altered behavior.Keywords
