How many teeth does a fox have? How many gorillas are in a group? How many hominid species exist today? How is the human hand similar to other primates' hands? How many teeth do koalas have? Modern horses have one toe. An ancestor of the horse, the Mesohippus, had how many toes?
Madagascar is home to colourful chameleons, fierce fossas and over 100 species of lemur. But With much of the Indian Ocean island’s wildlife facing extinction, its indigenous communities and eco lodges are focused on conserving their precious habitats.
Madagascar is one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots, well known for the diversespeciesof lemurs living there. The Coquerel's sifaka is one of the lemur species that has been classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as an "endangered" species. Despite this statu...
Canada: "The question of how many species exist has intrigued scientists for centuries and the answer, coupled with research by others into species' distribution and abundance, is particularly important now because a host of human activities and influences are accelerating the rate of extinctions...

. During recent years, numerous studies about plant anaesthesia have emerged with very interesting results parallels of which can be found in animals and human. Also many comments about plant intelligence and consciousness appeared in response to these discoveries (Chamowitz2018; Taiz et al.2019; ...
This is the case, for instance, in many of the social lemur species25. An outstanding exception to this pattern is the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), where a highly positive correlation between female social rank and reproductive success has been documented21,25. In a long-term study of ...
A comparison among different rodent strains and three other non-human primate species suggests that the decline in NSC proliferation, to a lesser extent also the decline in neurogenesis, actually follows absolute rather than relative age [96]. Hence, a sharp decrease in postnatal neurogenesis ...
It should also be considered here that it is also the case that even if studies including both males and females find no sex differences in their outcomes, sex differences can exist at many levels. Certainly, one can get to the same destination via different routes. For instance, in ...
It appears that a general 'primate-template', sensitive to inversion may underly non-expert performance (Campbell et al, 1997 1429 - 1434), while monkey-experts have differentiated templates for the different species. For the primatologists we tested, the 'monkey' template may not utilise ...
