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.

Dehydration increases the osmolality of body fluids and decreases the rate of sweating during thermal stress. By localizing osmotic stimuli to central nervous system tissues, this study assessed the role of central stimulation on sweating in a heat-stressed nonhuman primate. Lenperone-tranquilized patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas n = 5), exposed to 41 +/- 2 degrees C, were monitored for calf sweat rate, rectal and mean skin temperatures, oxygen consumption, and heart rate during infusions (255–413 microliters) of hypertonic artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) into the third cerebral ventricle. ACSF made hypertonic with NaCl to yield osmolalities of 800 and 1,000 mosmol/kgH2O significantly decreased sweat rate compared with control ACSF (285 mosmol/kgH2O), achieving maximal reductions during infusion of 37 and 53%, respectively. Rectal temperature significantly increased during the recovery period, reaching elevations of 0.69 and 0.72 degrees C, respectively, at 20 min postinfusion. In contrast, ACSF made hypertonic with sucrose (800 mosmol/kgH2O) failed to change sweat rate or rectal temperature during infusion in three animals. Thus, intracerebroventricular infusions of hypertonic ACSF mimicked dehydration-induced effects on thermoregulation. The reduction in heat loss during infusion appeared to depend on an elevation in cerebrospinal fluid [Na+] and not osmolality per se.
