Body temperature and thermal environment in a generalized arboreal anthropoid, wild mantled howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata)
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2014-01-01)
Free-ranging primates are confronted with the challenge of maintaining an optimal
range of body temperatures within a thermally dynamic environment that changes daily,
seasonally, and annually. While many laboratory studies ...
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 ...
Are we looking for loads in all the right places? New research directions for studying the masticatory apparatus of New World monkeys.
(Anat Rec (Hoboken), 2011-12)
New World monkeys display a wide range of masticatory apparatus morphologies related
to their diverse diets and feeding strategies. While primatologists have completed
many studies of the platyrrhine masticatory apparatus, ...
Body temperature and thermal environment in a generalized arboreal anthropoid, wild mantled howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata).
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 2014-05)
Free-ranging primates are confronted with the challenge of maintaining an optimal
range of body temperatures within a thermally dynamic environment that changes daily,
seasonally, and annually. While many laboratory studies ...
Measuring Microhabitat Temperature in Arboreal Primates: A Comparison of On-Animal and Stationary Approaches
(International Journal of Primatology, 2016-10-01)
© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York. Arboreal primates actively navigate
a complex thermal environment that exhibits spatial, daily, and seasonal temperature
changes. Thus, temperature measurements from stationary ...
Thyroid hormone fluctuations indicate a thermoregulatory function in both a tropical (Alouatta palliata) and seasonally cold-habitat (Macaca fuscata) primate.
(Am J Primatol, 2017-11)
Thyroid hormones boost animals' basal metabolic rate and represent an important thermoregulatory
pathway for mammals that face cold temperatures. Whereas the cold thermal pressures
experienced by primates in seasonal habitats ...
Methods for Studying the Ecological Physiology of Feeding in Free-Ranging Howlers (Alouatta palliata) at La Pacifica, Costa Rica
(International Journal of Primatology, 2012-06-01)
We lack a general understanding of how primates perform physiologically during feeding
to cope with the challenges of their natural environments. We here discuss several
methods for studying the ecological physiology of ...
Telemetry system for assessing jaw-muscle function in free-ranging primates
(International Journal of Primatology, 2008-12-01)
In vivo laboratory-based studies describing jaw-muscle activity and mandibular bone
strain during mastication provide the empirical basis for most evolutionary hypotheses
linking primate masticatory apparatus form to diet. ...
