61. Stanford Magazine > November/December 2001 > Feature Story > Going Wild
    Baboons—singularlooking primates with a wild hairdo, close-set eyes, a long muzzleand permanent leathery pads covering their rear ends—are great subjects  
    http://www.stanfordalumni.org/atstanford/sapolsky
    
    Extractions: Sapolsky is well-known around campus for his fascinating lectures in human behavioral biology. To the public at large, he is best known for three books: The Trouble with Testosterone (1997) and (2001). The earlier books concentrate on his scientific work, but is a more personal look at his life in Africa, introducing us equally to the baboons and the human primates he encounters. As with most of his writing, the book is very funny. New York Times Sapolsky himself has cascading hair and a full beard, which sometimes gives him a resemblance to Tom Hanks as a third-year castaway. In person, he is pleasant, soft-spoken and self-deprecating, someone you might easily imagine living happily alone in a tent in Africa. Watch him in action, however, or read between the lines about what he actually does in the field, and you get a completely different picture.

62. Polyandry In Primates

    http://www-personal.umich.edu/~phyl/anthro/polyandry.html
    
    Extractions: Definition: "Groups in which two or more males mate with a single female during a single breeding season and collaborate to raise her offspring" Cooperative polyandry seems to fly in the face of expectations in two ways- First of all, males are expected to raise their reproductive success by gaining access to females. Females don't maximize reproductive success by getting more males! Secondly, it looks like altruism- one of the males is taking care of offspring not related to him! Why is he being a sucker Cooperative polyandry is pretty rare for these reasons. It occurs in scattered animals- some raptors like hawks and eagles have polyandrous mating systems. Also african hunting dogs. In primates, humans in Asia with traditional cultures have polyandrous mating systems, usually for much the same reasons as callitrichids do, who are the only non-human polyandrous primates. Only a few have been studied; common marmoset, cottontop tamarin, golden tamarin, saddleback tamarin. Characteristics of callitrichids They're the smallest of anthropoid primates; all under 1kg. Generally territorial. Diet is mixed- fruit and small prey items. Some eat gums, especially the marmosets who are specialized gummivores. Another important feature is that they produce twins- about 80% of births are twins. They're only primates who twin routinely.

    It is important that a special facility be established to maintain small captivepopulations of endangered primates whose wild populations are no longer viable  
    http://www.novexcn.com/viet_rescu_endang_primates.html
    
    Extractions: It is important that a special facility be established to maintain small captive populations of endangered primates whose wild populations are no longer viable, or for those animals that are confiscated from the illegal trade, and provision should be made for long-term field studies of remaining wild populations and their threatened tropical forest habitats. With the assistance of the international zoological and conservation communities. it is also important that captive breeding programs for several of these primate taxa be developed as soon as possible as an insurance against the possible extinction of wild populations.

    http://www.ippl.org/01-03-25.html
    
    Extractions: November 2002 KSBK (Animal Conservation for Life) has been very successful in its recent work to recover endangered animals that are being kept or sold illegally in Indonesia. August 2002 was an especially busy month for our organization. KSBK members with confiscated gibbon Java’s dismal "bird markets" One of the primary activities of KSBK is to place constant pressure on the Indonesian government to enforce wildlife protection laws. In Indonesia, as elsewhere, the illegal trade in wild animals has been a serious threat to wildlife conservation. We believe that essentially all primates offered for sale in our country’s "bird markets" are wild-caught. Indonesia’s "bird markets" are actually open-air animal markets, where mammals and reptiles of all descriptions-as well as birds-are sold for use as pets or meat under miserable conditions. Primates such as orangutans, siamangs, gibbons, slow lorises, and ebony langurs are freely traded at Javanese bird markets. The two largest bird markets in Java are Pramuka and Barito. Both are located in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city.

66. The Plight Of Vietnam's Primates
    primate groups back to the wild. The eventual release of these captiveprimates will hopefully strengthen the wild populations.  
    http://www.ippl.org/plight.html
    
    Extractions: by Lynne R. Baker IPPL member Lynne Baker worked as a volunteer for the EPRC from October 1998 to July 1999. She was involved in primate field surveys sponsored by the Frankfurt Zoological Society, public relations, and fund-raising for the center. To the scientific community, Vietnam intrigues and entices. It is the countrys unknowns ! the allure of a new discovery ! that attract many to this place. And with good reason. As recently as 1997, a new primate species was described from Vietnam: the Grey-shanked douc langur (scientific name Pygathrix cinereus). There was also the discovery of the Sao La (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) in 1992 and the Giant Muntjac (Megamuntiacus vuquangensis) in 1994. In fact, of the seven large mammal species discovered worldwide in this century, four were described from Vietnam in the 1990s. All this excitement over new species comes with strings, however: Now that weve found this rare and endangered animal, how do we save it? Conservation efforts are underway, although many are relatively new. Due to the constant presence of war in Vietnam for years, many conservation organizations and researchers stayed clear. Today progress is being made, but the demise of Vietnams wildlife continues to threaten all too near.

    Extractions: Not only are these rare primates good at hiding, they're found in remote rain forests of Southeast Asia. That's one of the reasons why no one is sure just how many of these elusive primates are left in the wild. In a partnership with Vietnamese scientists, the San Diego Zoo has had success in studying these small furry animals , which move slowly under the cover of darkness. Fluffy Primates at Risk "They're in very remote areas," says Helena Fitch-Snyder, a behavioral biologist at the zoo. "They're nocturnal animals so to find them, you have to go out at night." Lorises have physically appealing faces with the large eyes typical of nocturnal animals. They weigh only a few pounds and stick to traveling in trees, where they have remarkable agility.

A recurrent skin disease of unknown cause, but with characteristics of diseases caused by hypoaminoacidemia in other species. May be secondary to metabolic changes from captive stress. Gross lesions: Vesicles and plaques progressing to ulcers affecting pressure points, oral mucosa, tips of the ears and tail and other locations, usually with bilateral symmetry. Histopathology: Lesions similar to superficial necrolytic dermatopathy consisting of acanthosis, parakeratosis, and laminar hydropic degeneration of the epidermis. Eosinophilic granulomas : One of the diseases in black rhinoceros that cause collagenolysis. Most lesions occur in the oral and nasal cavity and can associated with marked hemorrhage clinically. Gross lesions: Nodular, ulcerated masses on the oral and nasal mucosa or in the dermis. Histopathology: Marked eosinophilic infiltrates with some organization into granulomas.

They could kind of walk like humans (though their knuckles tended to drag), and could grasp tools like humans. They seemed to be able to communicate with sounds and gestures. They appeared to be engaged in playful activities. Books later told me that primates express a variety of same emotions human do, including surprise, happiness, sadness, grief, anger and depression.

    http://www.ebra.org/bulletin/july02_96.html
    
    Extractions: One of the more important animal research issues being discussed in Europe is the supply and use of non-human primates in research and testing. The figures published in the 1991 European Union (EU) statistics show that there were 8,545 such primates used in the EU that year, with the majority being used in the UK, Germany and France. The objections to the use of primates comes mostly from campaigning groups who have targeted this issue. However, the scientific justification for using primates cannot be so easily dismissed. A number of areas of virology (including some AIDS research and vaccine development and testing), biotechnology product development and neurobiology research are currently completely dependent on the use of non-human primates. The pressure against primate use has received some support from more respected voices but the arguments presented have not been found convincing. Indeed, it is likely that even the campaigning groups recognise the strength of the scientific justification for using primates and they have focused their main activities on secondary issues, such as supply and transport of primates, the use of wild-caught animals, etc to put pressure on the main issue.

Wong A new study of rat DNA has shed new light on how the migration routes of the ancient Polynesians. When the ancestors of the Polynesians first sailed into Oceania about 3,500 years ago, they carried food supplies along with them that included Pacific rats (Rattus exulans). Now Elizabeth Matisoo-Smith and Judith H. Robins of the University of Auckland, New Zealand, report that rat genetics helps clarify how the Pacific was settled. The researchers analyzed the mitochondrial DNA of Pacific rats from around Polynesia, southeast Asia, and Papua New Guinea. Because these rats don't swim, the scientists could assume they had arrived on the islands via human canoes. They report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finding three distinct genetic populations of rats, each associated with a particular island group. The results rule out the "Fast Train" theory of dispersal, which suggest Polynesians colonized the islands soon after leaving southeast Asia and had little contact with indigenous people. Instead, the Polynesians probably spread more slowly into the region, and had extensive contact with local people along the way.

    Extractions: Week of April 3, 2004; Vol. 165, No. 14 Edna Francisco A potentially dangerous virus is moving from nonhuman primates to Africans who hunt and eat wild animals, a new study suggests. Scientists say reducing people's consumption of wild-animal meat could minimize the chance of spreading this and other viruses that cause emerging diseases. CLOSE ENCOUNTER. Hunting and butchering a gorilla apparently infected a 45-year-old man with a new virus typically found only in nonhuman primates, according to a recent study. To feed their families wild meat, or bushmeat, people in rural Africa have been hunting a variety of animals, including pigs, antelope, and primates for generations. The Zoological Society of London estimates that bushmeat makes up 50 to 85 percent of protein in the diet of tropical-forest dwellers in Africa. SIV and related viruses inhabit their normal nonhuman primate hosts without doing harm. However, "when they cross species boundaries, that's when they have a potential for illness," says Nathan Wolfe, a biologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

    Extractions: features : peaceful wild baboons Reports exist of transmission of culture in nonhuman primates. Robert M. Sapolsky (Stanford University, California, USA) and Lisa J. Share (National Museums of Kenya Karen, Nairobi, Kenya) examined this in a troop of savanna baboons studied since 1978. During the mid-1980s, half of the males died from tuberculosis; because of circumstances of the outbreak, it was more aggressive males who died, leaving a cohort of atypically unaggressive survivors. A decade later, these behavioral patterns persisted. Males leave their natal troops at adolescence; by the mid-1990s, no males remained who had resided in the troop a decade before. Thus, critically, the troop's unique culture was being adopted by new males joining the troop. This article, published by the Public Library of Science, tells of some of their findings.

    Extractions: University of Arizona - Tucson CLASSIFICATION OF NONHUMAN PRIMATES (see Table 1 Nonhuman primates are classified into four major categories: PROSIMIANS, NEW WORLD MONKEYS ( Platyrrhiny ), OLD WORLD MONKEYS ( Catarrhina ), and APES ( Hominoidea ). The true prosimians are primitive primates far removed from human stock and are found in arboreal habitats. The Lemuriformes of Madagascar are classified as endangered species and trade in them is not permitted. So far, no particular uses for them in medical research have been found. The new world monkeys (NWM) comprise two families the Callitrichidae (marmosets and tamarinds) and Cebidae, the members of which vary greatly in size, diet, habits, and color. They are more distantly related to man than the old world primates and may for this reason be a less reliable model for medical studies. Only five groups are in regular use in laboratories: 1. Marmosets and tamarins (
