Abstract

The importance of olfaction in social and dietary contexts for strepsirhine primates has been established by numerous field studies. Such work supports inferences drawn from data on olfactory structures in the primate brain. Surprisingly few detailed studies exist on development and variations in the peripheral olfactory organs. This chapter provides an update on ontogeny and distribution of the olfactory and vomeronasal neuroepithelia in the nasal fossa of strepsirhines.
