Incisor microwear and feeding behavior in Alouatta seniculus and Cebus olivaceusAmerican Journal of Primatology - Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 43-50 - 1990
Peter S. Ungar
AbstractDental microwear features on the labial surfaces of maxillary central
incisors of wild‐shot museum specimens of Cebus olivaceus (n = 11) and Alouatta
seniculus (n = 7) were examined at 200 × by polarized light microscopy. While
wear scratch orientation patterns do not differ between the two samples, Cebus
has a significantly higher density of wear features, and displays scratches that

Neuropeptide Y‐immunoreactive Neurons in the Cerebral Cortex of Humans and Other Haplorrhine PrimatesAmerican Journal of Primatology - Tập 75 Số 5 - Trang 415-424 - 2013
Mary Ann Raghanti, TIFFINI CONLEY, Jessica Sudduth, Joseph Erwin, Cheryl D. Stimpson, Patrick R. Hof, Chet C. Sherwood
We examined the distribution of neurons immunoreactive for neuropeptide Y (NPY)
in the posterior part of the superior temporal cortex (Brodmann's area 22 or
area Tpt) of humans and nonhuman haplorrhine primates. NPY has been implicated
in learning and memory and the density of NPY‐expressing cortical neurons and
axons is reduced in depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's
disea... hiện toàn bộ
Immigration and hybridization patterns of yellow and anubis baboons in and around Amboseli, KenyaAmerican Journal of Primatology - Tập 53 Số 4 - Trang 139-154 - 2001
Susan C. Alberts, Jeanne Altmann
AbstractIn 1986, Samuels and Altmann reported evidence for a hybrid zone between
Papio anubis and Papio cynocephalus in Amboseli, Kenya, in a baboon population
that has been the subject of long‐term study since 1971 [Samuels & Altmann,
International Journal of Primatology 7:131–138, 1986]. In the current report we
document ongoing patterns of hybridization in Amboseli between anubis and yellow
bab... hiện toàn bộ
Coming of age: steroid hormones of wild immature baboons (Papio cynocephalus)American Journal of Primatology - Tập 67 Số 1 - Trang 83-100 - 2005
Laurence R. Gesquiere, Jeanne Altmann, Memuna Z. Khan, Jannelle Couret, Jennifer C. Yu, Courtney S. Endres, Jessica W. Lynch, Patrick Ogola, Elizabeth A. Fox, Susan C. Alberts, Emmanuel O. Wango
AbstractLarge gaps exist in our knowledge about common patterns and variability
in the endocrinology of immature nonhuman primates, and even normal hormonal
profiles during that life stage are lacking for wild populations. In the present
study we present steroid profiles for a wild population of baboons (Papio
cynocephalus) from infancy through reproductive maturation, obtained by
noninvasive feca... hiện toàn bộ
Female weight and reproductive condition in a population of olive baboons (Papio anubis)American Journal of Primatology - Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 189-195 - 1987
Fred B Beicovrtch
AbstractThe study reported here tested Altmann's prediction [Baboon Mothers and
Infants. Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 1980] that lactating female
baboons endure a weight loss. Data from 64 adult female olive baboons (Papio
anubis) residing in six troops in Kenya revealed that reproductive condition was
related to weight. Lactating females weighed less and pregnant females weighed
more than... hiện toàn bộ
