In group-living primates, vocal communication is critical for social interactions, maintaining contact with group members, avoiding confrontations with individuals in other groups, and evading predators. For this study, we investigated the vocalization patterns of wild woolly monkeys from the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Amazonian Ecuador. We combined behavioral data previously collected in 2014 and 2015 […]
C07: Examination of a bidirectional homeotic transformation in Tribolium castaneum
The forewings and hindwings of an insect often have different structural and functional identities. In beetles, forewings (called elytra) act as protective shields, while the hindwings are used for flight. The Hox gene, Ultrabithorax (Ubx), has a major role in forewing/hindwing differentiation during insect development. Removal of Ubx function causes a homeotic transformation of the […]
B61: Temporal Variation of Long Calls In New World Monkeys (Ateles belzebuth, Lagothrix lagotricha poeppeigii, Plecturocebus (Callicebus) Discolor, and Alouatta seniculus)
This Biological Anthropology research was focused on the differential use of temporal long calls within four New World Monkey species (Ateles belzebuth, Lagothrix lagotricha poeppeiggi, Plecturocebus (Callicebus) discolor, and Alouatta seniculus) in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador. This study analyzes the differences between species’ long calls to expand the information on why and more importantly […]
