Of the six aromatic aldehydes testes, the spider monkeys were most sensitive to bourgeonal, and second most to 3-PPA.
They had the hardest time discriminating helional and canthoxal from the control odorant used.
Lilial and cyclamal was in the middle regarding the spider monkeys sensitivity to the six odorants.
The spider monkeys were most sensitive to bourgeonal and 3-PPA (red ovals indicate group of importance, or lack thereof))
The spider monkeys were least sensitive to helional and canthoxal (red ovals indicate group of importance)
Cyclamal and lilial. the two odors that the spider monkeys were somewhat sensitive to (red ovals indicate gorup of importance)
