Biosocial functions of grooming behavior among the common Indian langur monkey (Presbytis entellus)

An intensive study of the Indian langur monkey (Presbytis entellus) reveals an interplay between biological and social processes. This study which involved captive animals and over 1,500 observation hours suggests that grooming behavior alone cannot be used to measure status...
