Dados de interacções de catagem, recolhidos durante quatro meses de observações directas, de um grupo de macacos-vervet (Cercopithecus aethiops) em cativeiro, no Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa, foram utilizados para testar o modelo clássico de Seyfarth (1977) de atracção por indivíduos dominantes. Cada indivíduo foi observado um total de 10.5 horas, através de amostragens focais. Todas as ocorrências de comportamentos agonísticos foram também registadas. A análise dos resultados confirmou que nas fêmeas a catagem é dirigida para cima na hierarquia, apesar de a troca de catagem por apoio agonístico não ser o princípio subjacente a esta atracção. Considerando a teoria dos mercados biológicos, o facto de as díades serem altamente não recíprocas em termos do investimento feito na catagem, parece sugerir que outras comodidades, para além do apoio agonístico, estão a ser trocadas.

Patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) living in African savanna woodlands and grassland habitats have a locomotor system that allows them to run fast, presumably to avoid predators. Long fore- and hindlimbs, long foot bones, short toes, and a digitigrade foot posture were proposed as anatomical correlates with speed. In addition to skeletal proportions, soft tissue and whole body proportions are important components of the locomotor system. To further distinguish patas anatomy from other Old World monkeys, a comparative study based on dissection of skin, muscle, and bone from complete individuals of patas and vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) was undertaken. Analysis reveals that small adjustments in patas skeletal proportions, relative mass of limbs and tail, and specific muscle groups promote efficient sagittal limb motion. The ability to run fast is based on a locomotor system adapted for long distance walking. The patas’ larger home range and longer daily range than those of vervets give them access to highly dispersed, nutritious foods, water, and sleeping trees. Furthermore, patas monkeys have physiological adaptations that enable them to tolerate and dissipate heat. These features all contribute to the distinct adaptation that is the patas monkeys’ basis for survival in grassland and savanna woodland areas.
