Captive Lemur fulvus were presented with scents of their own subspecies, scents of other subspecies of L. fulvus , and scents of other species of sympatric Lemuriformes. The results suggest that L. fulvus do not distinguish between scents of different subspecies of L. fulvus , and that they do distinguish between scents of their own species and other sympatric species of Lemuriformes.
