Space Use Preferences and Species Proximity in a Mixed-Species Zoo Monkey Exhibit

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens
Many zoos display animals in mixed-species exhibits where multiple different species share the same space and potentially interact. This study analyzes a mixed-species exhibit with three New World monkey species (white-faced saki, black-capped squirrel ...

Comparing the cost-effectiveness of methods for estimating population density for primates in the Amazon rainforest Peru [PDF]

, 2015
With increasingly extreme fluctuations in flood levels in the Amazon basin (Malhi et al. 2008, Marengo et al. 2012, Bodmer et al. 2014) the future of its' fauna is becoming more uncertain.

Local Ecological Knowledge Reveals the Distribution of Cryptic Nocturnal Wildlife

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

Taxon, Arboreality, Sex, and Season—Factors Influencing Gastrointestinal Parasite Occurrence in Zoo‐Housed Non‐Human Primates

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emergence of anthelminthic resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon in livestock and companion animals. Given the scarcity of new antiparasitic drugs, the implementation of effective, holistic anthelminthic control strategies is critical to preserving the efficacy of existing treatments.

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

Lysophosphatidylcholine concentrations and metabolism in aortic intima plus inner media: effect of nutritionally induced atherosclerosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1969
The concentration of lysophosphatidylcholine (monoacyl sn-glycerol 3-phosphorylcholine) in intima plus inner media of atherosclerotic aorta from squirrel monkeys was nearly eight times that in comparable control tissue. Plasma levels of the same compound

Short-Term Relocation Stress-Induced Hematological and Immunological Changes in Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis

Journal of Immunology Research, 2021
Nonhuman primates are frequently transported to a new location or temporarily relocated within their colony. Both transportation and relocation expose animals to new environments, causing them to undergo a stress response (before adapting).

Traumatic Occlusion Exacerbates Bone Resorption by Modifying Gene Expression in the Bone Tissue of Ligature‐Induced Periodontitis in Mice

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To clarify the molecular mechanisms of occlusal trauma in bone loss through periodontal tissue transcriptome analysis in mice with periodontitis and traumatic occlusion. Materials and Methods Ligature‐induced periodontitis (Li) and composite resin‐induced traumatic occlusion (Tra) mouse models were established (control [Co], Li, Tra and ...

Undefining Man: A Case for Symbolic Animal Communication via Refutation of Kenneth Burke\u27s Definition of Man [PDF]

, 2005
There have been tendencies in various fields to use communication as a way of differentiating humans and other species. Even when individuals are confronted with empirical evidence to the contrary, many still hold onto the notion that humans are in a ...
