Lateralization of Feeding Behaviour in White-Fronted Lemur (Eulemur albifrons) and Ring-Tailed Lemur (Lemur catta) in Captivity

Feeding lateralization was more accentuated in white-fronted lemur, in which a light bias towards the use of the right hand seems to be evidenced. No clear effect of age and sex on the presence and direction of lateralization could be evidenced. The results somehow contrast with what the postural theory of lateralization postulates about the preferential use of the right hand in terrestrial species.
