Extractions: Library and Information Service By Lesleigh Luttrell, University of Wisconsin Unlike traditional academic disciplines, primatology is characterized by the taxon of organisms studied, not by the kinds of questions addressed. Primatologists share an interest in non-human primates, but otherwise are a highly diverse group including scientists, educators, conservationists, medical researchers and veterinarians among others. Some focus exclusively on non-human primates; while others study primates as models for human diseases, or as part of complex ecosystems. While most people who identify themselves as primatologists have post-graduate training, they come from a wide variety of fields. A recent survey of the membership of the American Society of Primatologists found anthropology, psychology, biology/zoology and veterinary science as the most common disciplines of origin. Other represented fields include anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, medical science, pharmacology, and physiology. Research interests included primate behavior, biomedical and reproduction studies, ecology and conservation and animal husbandry.

What Is The Difference Between Primates And Other Mammals?
This situation is characteristic of humans rather than primates in general,and prevents intergroup reaction between those with xenophobia.
http://caca.essortment.com/primatemammalo_riyn.htm

Extractions: What is the difference between primates and other mammals? This article discusses how primates are distinct from other mammals based on their organization into groups and humans' practice of culture. Many characteristics distinguish the primate group from other mammals. Besides physical traits, they place a special emphasis on learning in a social context as opposed to genetically fixed responses. This mode of information transmission is usually passed on from parent to child, though other members of the group may participate and exert an influence. Learning is of extreme importance due to their life in groups and extensive use of communication, both verbal and nonverbal. Individuals must be taught the rules of the group and how to interact with others of his/her species. Such groups are held together by social relationships (with peers, sex partners, allies, and kin), attraction to infants (due to their compelling vulnerability), and common needs (shelter, protection, communication, and learning). The group system provides many advantages for the indivuduals within them. Other mammals do not enjoy the benefits of group life because their evolutionary needs have not adapted them to community living. Group life provides primates with facilitated sexual encounters, knowledge of food location and control of resources (greater ecological efficiency), greater ability to detect predators, and cooperation in hunting which allows for killing larger game. The confusion effect is also advantageous for group members in situations where they are the prey for an animal higher on the food chain. The "confusion effect" operates on the principle that the larger the number of prey, the more difficult it is for a predator to concentrate on one individual, decreasing it chances of success. Thus, an animal in a group is more likely to evade a predator on the prowl because the predator is not able to focus its attention on one specific animal.

I'll see if they have a website. : WHY? Because they can I guess. : Isn't there enough to discuss regarding our Prinicples and our spiritual journeys? One would think so, wouldn't one. But then, when a so called religious association defines itself in the amorphous terms of politics and "social justice", you kinda gotta expect a lot of whackiness. : You gotta be kidding.

Extractions: Work experience at The Centro de Rescate y Rehabilitación de Primates General information: The Centro de Rescate y Rehabilitación de Primates is home to a socially natural colony of woolly monkeys, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, capuchins monkeys, howler monkeys and one tamarin and one chimpanzee, established in 1994 by the Family Almazán Muñoz. It was started as a refuge for ex-pets and ex-zoo woolly monkeys. They form a stable group with natural kinship bonds and a dominance hierarchy based on responsible leadership. Actually we have 90 monkeys from circus, laboratories, ex pets, zoos, etc. The Center is not open to the public, is private and runner with the money of the Almazán´s family. The keepers´ work includes caring for the monkeys health and wellbeing and providing environmental enrichment. Additionally, all keepers have their own specialist work areas, such as general maintenance, administration, campaigning, education, design work. The Center is not a scientific centre, rather, a community of people working to better the captive life of the primate community here. Volunteers: Over the course of a year, the Center receives volunteers for 1 or 2 months, sometimes placements can be extended. No qualifications are needed (volunteers usually come because they share a concern for animal welfare, conservation and the need to questions people attitude to other animals).

Extractions: This paper was written by a student in a course at Bryn Mawr College, and reflects that student's research and thoughts at the time the paper was written. Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so. Web links were active as of the time the paper was posted but are not updated. Biology 202 On Serendip In vertebrates vision begins with light entering the pupil. The cornea and lens focus and invert the light signal and project it to the back of the eye where the retina is located. The retina consists of several layers of alternating cells and processes that convert the light signal into a neural signal, otherwise known as signal transduction. Primates in particular have a fovea, a specialized area of the retina, which is composed of photoreceptors (rods and cones). The fovea allows primates to have acute vision. The optic nerve, made of ganglion cells, carries this visual information to the brain. Rods and cones differ from one another in terms of their sensitive towards light and the wavelengths to which they respond. Rods, located in the periphery of the eye, are more sensitive towards light and a wider range of wavelengths when compared to cones. In the retina of primates 120 million rods can be found, however, the retina will only have approximately 6.5 million cones.
