| smaller new world monkeys - marmosets and
tamarins - small - males and females look alike - twins common - juveniles
help raise young. |
 |
| 3-15 kg - single male groups - eat insects, birds, lizards,
frogs don't groom or rest much. |
| eating only meat. Animals that have this sort of diet
are carnivores. See herbivorous and omnivorous. |
| The number of individuals an environment can support
without degradation. |
| old world - narrow nose - Cercopithecoidea
(monkeys) and Hominoidea (apes) |
| larger new world monkeys - capuchin - cebus, squirrel
- saimiri, howler alouatta - woolly spider - brachteles arachnoids. |
| One of two major taxonomic subdivisions within
Old World monkeys. |
| tend to have a more frugivorous and/or gramnivorous
(seed eaters) diet than the other major taxonomic group, the Colobines,
who are folivores (leaf eaters). |
| more fierce in defense against predators
- fewer trees in their habitat. |
| cheeks that are so elastic that they can
expand to allow temporary storage of food. This is useful when there is
competition. Vervet monkeys and Macaques have cheek pouches. |
| open male-bonded groups - no tail - grooming
between males - vocalize loudly when they want to locate others, when something
exciting happens - eat leaves, small fruit, insects, nuts - brachiators
- lifelong relations between mothers and children who stay in the group
- baby usually dies if its mother dies before it's weaned elaborate greeting
ceremonies - central male group does boundary control - when two animals
come together, dominant one puts arm over the other. |
| Groups of individuals within a primate troop
usually cooperating to defend territory, acquire females, or challenge dominant
individuals. |
| One of two major taxonomic groups within
Old World monkeys. Colobines have large guts and cellulose (enzyme) to digest
leaves. They are Folivores. |
| Two species cannot share a niche for long.
One species will become extinct or change to occupy a slightly different
niche. |
| No signs of ovulation (e.g., no estrus swellings).
In humans, females are unaware when they are ovulating. |
| Individuals of the same species. |
| long-term alliance that develops over time
|
| in Africa: black and white, red, olive, kirk's
- saculated stomachs - little sexual dimorphism - proceptive sexual behaviour
- small multi-multi groups - dawn and dusk roaring - in SE Asia: Presbytis,
Semnopithecus, Pygathrix, Nasalis - small one-male groups. |
| 4 parts: signal, motivation, meaning, function
- what's the unit size of a signal - meaning is context. |
| collarbones; the bones that connect the sternum
with the scapula. A single clavicle on each side of the body goes from the
center of the chest to the shoulders. |
| |
| being neither noctural or diurnal exclusively
but rather a combination therefore. See diurnal and noctural. Eg: Ringtail
Lemurs |
| camouflage |
| the elevated, somewhat pointed portions of
the chewing surfaces on premolar and molar teeth. |
