Since group size strongly influences the type of social organization adopted, it is critical to understand what explains variation in group size.C.A. ChapmanJ.A. TeichroebscitableChapman CA. and Teichroeb JA. 2012. What influences the size of groups in which primates choose to live? Nature Educat...
Name at least two groups of organisms that do not fit the biological-species concept and explain why. What are groups of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area called? What is a groups of individuals that belong to the same speci...
What are the traits, that are unique to primates, and enable them to be well-suited to an arboreal environment? Describe the range of primate residence patterns (social groups). Relate social grouping What do all plants have that all animals do not have ?
Are humans considered animals? Of course,humans are animals! We're composed of cells with genetic material, and we move around, seeking energy to feed our bodies, pooping it out again as waste. We look a lot like our fellow primates with our five-digit hands and feet, our thoughtful eyes...
Another study, yet to be reproduced, looked at the gene (AR, orNR3C4) that codes for the human androgen receptor. Androgens are a group of sex steroid hormones that are considered to be biologically “masculinizing” hormones, though they appear in all human bodies to some degree. Testoster...
Despite considerable progress in the development of antiviral drugs, among which anti-immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) medications can be considered real success stories, many viral infections remain without an effective treatment. This not only applies to infectious outbrea...
By constructing Lyapunov functions and utilizing inequality techniques, a series of criteria are devised to ensure the global M-L stability of the considered systems. The research outcomes detailed in this paper not only build upon existing work but also establish novel algebraic criteria within a ...
A role for T cells in viral control has also been demonstrated in non-human primates. Transfer of purified IgG protected macaques from infection in a dose-dependent manner, but a higher Ab titre was required when CD8 T cells were depleted, suggesting a role for T cells in infection blocking...
Regan found in the fishes ample scope for his energies, but his interests extended beyond, and especially into other vertebrate groups. His interest in the geographical distribution of animals led him to suggest to other specialists lines of research on the interrelationships of frogs and the ...
Metformin, a type 2 diabetes treatment, improves the cognitive function of aged mice; however, whether the protective effects of metformin on cognitive function in aged mice are associated with the gut microbiome is poorly understood. Although some studi
