Ovulation and luteinization are spontaneous in nonhuman primates, and the OWM have a menstrual cycle that in some species of Cercopithecinae is notable for the external signs of their cyclicity.
Despite these differences, the common morphotype of the humerus and femur in the Cercopithecinae is exhibited in both Cercocebus and Cercopithecus, contrasting with the morphology shown by other primates (Colobinae, Hominoidea and Cebidae).
