皮肤护理是灵长类动物异理的一个重要功能，这一假设是根据其在广泛物种中的物理分布数据进行评估的。结果发现，分布的autogrooming（假设主要是功利）和alloroming超过17个身体部位是互补的，alloroming集中在区域是不可访问和/或不可见的autogrooming动物。然而，在可访问和不可访问的网站类别，allogrooming均匀分布在体表，尽管任何特殊的社会或通信的意义，特定的网站可能有。这两种梳理方式在分布上的分类差异，特别是在狐猴和狐猴之间的差异，进一步支持了互补性的概念。得出的结论是，数据支持以前的建议，连接allorouming网站的偏好与实用功能，分析和方法的差异，这些结果之间的差异，在另一项研究中获得的可能的解释。
The hypothesis that skin care is an important function of allogrooming in primates was evaluated in the light of data on its physical distribution in a wide range of species. It was found that the distribution of autogrooming (assumed to be primarily utilitarian) and allogrooming over 17 body sites were complementary and that allogrooming was concentrated on areas which are inaccessible and/or invisible to an autogrooming animal. However, within accessible and inaccessible site categories, allogrooming was evenly distributed over the body surface, despite any special social or communicatory significance that particular sites may have. Intertaxonomic differences in the distributions of both types of grooming, notably between anthropoids and lemurs, lent further support to the notion of complementarity. It was concluded that the data support previous suggestions linking allogrooming site preferences with a utilitarian function, analytic and methodological differences being the probable explanation for discrepancies between these results and those obtained in another study.
