对野生动物认知能力的研究使我们能够了解它们在生态和进化有效条件下的行为。野生狐猴认知研究中观察和实验方法的结合揭示了对其社交和交流策略及其协同进化的见解。它还阐明了他们如何社会学习，以及个人的社会能力如何影响与谁互动。对导航策略的研究揭示了狐猴如何权衡旅行成本与寄生虫和捕食者的避免。最后，对野生狐猴的研究确定了生态适应的关键认知相关性，以及认知能力是否与健身结果有关。尽管存在限制和约束，但研究野生动物的认知能力是了解动物认知能力差异的重要方法。
Research on cognitive abilities in wild animals allows us to understand how they behave under ecologically and evolutionarily valid conditions. The combination of observational and experimental approaches in cognitive studies of wild lemurs revealed insights into their social and communicative strategies and the coevolution thereof. It also illuminated how they learn socially and how individual's social competence may impact with whom to interact. Research on navigational strategies revealed how lemurs trade-off costs of traveling against parasite and predator avoidance. Finally, research on wild lemurs identified key cognitive correlates of ecological adaptations and whether cognitive abilities are linked to fitness outcomes. Despite limitations and constraints, studying on cognitive abilities in the wild is an essential approach for understanding variation in cognitive abilities across animals.
