A comparison of activity patterns for captive Propithecus tattersalli and Propithecus coquereli.
(Zoo Biol, 2016-03)The activity patterns and social interactions of two species of captive sifaka were observed during a 2-year period. Allogrooming was not observed in golden-crowned sifaka and they spent significantly more time resting than ... -
An assessment of skin temperature gradients in a tropical primate using infrared thermography and subcutaneous implants.
(J Therm Biol, 2017-01)Infrared thermography has become a useful tool to assess surface temperatures of animals for thermoregulatory research. However, surface temperatures are an endpoint along the body's core-shell temperature gradient. Skin ... -
Associations Between Nutrition, Gut Microbiome, and Health in A Novel Nonhuman Primate Model.
(Scientific reports, 2018-07-24)Red-shanked doucs (Pygathrix nemaeus) are endangered, foregut-fermenting colobine primates which are difficult to maintain in captivity. There are critical gaps in our understanding of their natural lifestyle, including ... -
Average Body Weight for Mantled Howling Monkeys (Alouatta palliata): An Assessment of Average Values and Variability
(New Perspectives in the Study of Mesoamerican Primates, 2006) -
Breech delivery and birth‐related behaviors in wild mantled howling monkeys
(American Journal of Primatology, 1991-01-01)The breech birth of an infant mantled howling monkey was observed on February 12, 1990. The mother assisted the successful delivery by pulling on the infant's tail and hindleg. No other members of the social group attended ... -
Calibrating single-ended fiber-optic Raman spectra distributed temperature sensing data.
(Sensors (Basel), 2011)Hydrologic research is a very demanding application of fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) in terms of precision, accuracy and calibration. The physics behind the most frequently used DTS instruments are considered ... -
Captivity humanizes the primate microbiome.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018-03-01)The primate gastrointestinal tract is home to trillions of bacteria, whose composition is associated with numerous metabolic, autoimmune, and infectious human diseases. Although there is increasing evidence that modern and ... -
Capture techniques and morphometrics for the woolly spider monkey, or muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides, E. Geoffroy 1806)
(American Journal of Primatology, 1993-01-01)A total of 12 free‐ranging muriquis (Brachyteles arachnoides) were captured with Telazol® at Fazenda Esmeralda, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and at Fazenda Barreiro Rico, São Paulo, Brazil. All animals were measured, marked, weighed, ... -
Chemical characterization of oligosaccharides in the milk of six species of New and Old World monkeys.
(Glycoconj J, 2010-10)Human and great ape milks contain a diverse array of milk oligosaccharides, but little is known about the milk oligosaccharides of other primates, and how they differ among taxa. Neutral and acidic oligosaccharides were ... -
Consumption of cyanogenic bamboo by a newly discovered species of bamboo lemur
(American Journal of Primatology, 1989-01-01)Three species of bamboo‐eating lemurs were found to be sympatric in the southeastern rain forests of Madagascar. Sympatric species generally differ in habitat utilization or diet, but these three closely related bamboo lemurs ... -
Daily activity and light exposure levels for five species of lemurs at the duke lemur center
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2014-01-01)Light is the primary synchronizer of all biological rhythms, yet little is known about the role of the 24-hour luminous environment on nonhuman primate circadian patterns, making it difficult to understand the photic niche ... -
Darting, anesthesia, and handling
(2013) -
Dental topography and molar wear in Alouatta palliata from Costa Rica.
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 2004-10)Paleoprimatologists depend on relationships between form and function of teeth to reconstruct the diets of fossil species. Most of this work has been limited to studies of unworn teeth. A new approach, dental topographic ... -
Dietary choices by four captive slender lorises (Loris tardigradus) when presented with various insect life stages.
(Zoo Biol, 2011-03)The slender loris (Loris tardigradus) is a rare, nocturnal prosimian found only in the tropical rainforest of southern India and Sri Lanka. Little is known about their diet, though it is assumed that insects comprise a majority ... -
Dust in the wind: How climate variables and volcanic dust affect rates of tooth wear in Central American howling monkeys.
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 2016-02)OBJECTIVES: Two factors have been considered important contributors to tooth wear: dietary abrasives in plant foods themselves and mineral particles adhering to ingested food. Each factor limits the functional life of teeth. ... -
Fatty acid composition of wild anthropoid primate milks.
(Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol, 2008-01)Fatty acids in milk reflect the interplay between species-specific physiological mechanisms and maternal diet. Anthropoid primates (apes, Old and New World monkeys) vary in patterns of growth and development and dietary ... -
Feeding associations between howling monkeys and basilisk lizards
(Biotropica, 1979) -
Food choice from endemic North Carolina tree species by captive prosimians (Lemur fulvus)
(American Journal of Primatology, 1983-01-01)Seven captive‐born lemurs (Lemur fulvus) at the Duke University Primate Center were presented with leaves of different maturity from five species of North Carolina trees. The animals demonstrated three distinct behaviors ... -
Getting Humans Off Monkeys' Backs: Using Primate Acclimation as a Guide for Habitat Management Efforts.
(Integrative and comparative biology, 2020-05-29)Wild primates face grave conservation challenges, with habitat loss and climate change projected to cause mass extinctions in the coming decades. As large-bodied Neotropical primates, mantled howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata) ... -
Morphometric signals of population decline in diademed sifakas occupying degraded rainforest habitat in Madagascar.
(Scientific reports, 2019-06-19)Anthropogenic habitat change can have varied impacts on primates, including both negative and positive outcomes. Even when behavioural shifts are seen, they may reflect decreased health, or simply behavioural flexibility; ...
