Two groups of red-capped mangabeys, Cercocebus torquatus torquatus, and two groups of grey-cheeked mangabeys, Cercocebus albigena albigena, were monitored, and the different modalities of expression of attention were recorded for each individual [8].
The aim of this investigation was to analyse the variability in social attention in two species of mangabeys.
Moreover, the use of different gazes, which constitute social visual attention, varies with characteristics of the initiator of the gaze (age, social status) [6] and the situation of the individuals concerned [7].
