Reference Taxonomy Nonhuman primates belong to the order Primates which contains three suborders: Prosimii , which are often considered to be pre-primates and include a variety of Asian and African species that are small, generally nocturnal animals who rely more on their sense of smell that their vision A newly recognized suborder, Tarsioidea, which includes the Trasius sp., that may represent the bridge between the pre-primates and the true primates Anthropoidea, which are the true primates and include two infraorders: the Platyrrhine or New World monkeys (NWM) and the Catarrhine or Old World monkeys (OWM). New World Moneys (NWM): General Characteristics New Work monkeys (NWM) are found in Central and South America and consist of two families of primates: the Callitrichidea, which include the marmosets and tamarins, and the Cebidea, which include howler, woolly, spider, woolly spider, owl (night), and squirrel monkeys as well as titis, sakis, capuchins, and uakaris. The marmosets and tamarins are small, fruit-eating animals that are active in the daytime and live in small groups in an arboreal environment. They are unique among the primates in that except for the big toe, all of their digits have long, sharp claws. Marmosets and tamarins are very territorial and make high-pitched, bird-like calls.

Goodall's work has always been controversial, mostly because she broke the mold of research scientist by developing meaningful relationships with her "specimens" and honoring their lives as she would other humans. Now at the age of 60, she continues to break the mold of scientist by revealing how her research and worldwide conservation institutes spring from her childhood callings and adult spiritual convictions. Reason for Hope is a smoothly written memoir that does not shy away from facing the realities of environmental destruction, animal abuse, and genocide. But Goodall shares her antidote to the poison of despair with specific examples of why she has not lost faith. For instance, she shares her spiritual epiphany during a visit to Auschwitz; her bravery in the face of chimpanzee imprisonment in medical laboratories; and devotes a whole chapter to individuals, corporations, and countries that are doing the right thing. But most of all Goodall provides a beautifully written plea for why everyone can and must find a reason for hope.

Strum A daring experiment to translocate a much-studied baboon troop opens new possibilities for saving other primates THE PLACE looked like prophesies of nuclear winter: trees with no leaves and withered vegetation so dry that it was not brown but gray. The sunlight, even a few minutes after dawn, made harsh shadows everywhere. Both light and shadows increased relentlessly minute by minute. To make matters worse, there was little water and no sign of rain. This stark landscape might have been fascinating, but I was worried, not captivated. Three troops of olive baboons lived here because of me, strangers in this harsh and unpredictable environment, and I felt responsible for their fate. Their original home, 200 kilometers (125 mi.) away, had dry seasons but nothing this severe. In their old haunts, they had the experience and knowledge they needed to make the best of even the worst times. Here they were part of an unprecedented and quite daringsome even said crazyexperiment. Fourteen years ago, out of necessity, I had moved 132 baboons to this desolate spot. Translocating these animals gave them a chance to stay alive, although, at the time, I didn't know just how much of a chance. I did know that if the experiment succeeded, an important scientific project would be saved, and a new technique might be developed that would help to conserve endangered primates elsewhere.

BUAV investigators infiltrated the primate supply network in Tanzania and filmed exclusive footage that reveals the shocking suffering inflicted on these highly sensitive non-human primates. The investigation revealed: a lucrative trade in wild Olive baboons, sold for as little as $12 by trappers yet earning nearly $1,200 each on the international market. the capture of wild baboons using cruel, crude bamboo traps. entire baboon families ripped from the wild and kept in inhumane conditions. Tanzania is an increasingly popular tourist destination for those eager to experience wild animals in their natural habitat. Yet, there is a hidden side to Tanzania - the secret but lucrative trade in wild-caught Olive baboons captured for research.

The researchers and their colleagues have been studying the eating and exercise patterns of two groups of wild baboons in East Africa. Like most primates, one group has to wander and forage for food. The other group lives near a tourist lodge in Kenya; they get lots of their food from the garbage dump. Wild baboons in Africa forage for food. Download That study demonstrated that being in captivity was a risk factor for obesity, but when trying to extrapolate the data to better understand the problem of obesity in humans, a major obstacle was finding a comparison group of contemporary people who live in wild, aboriginal conditions.

MAPS replies to Dr. Ricaurte and Science, arguing once again that a correction needed to be made to Dr. Ricaurte's letter of June 6, 2003. Dear Etta, Thank you for forwarding Dr. Ricaurte's response to our request for a correction regarding his statement in his letter that 1 out of 10 monkeys died, when in his paper he reported that 1 out of 5 monkeys died and 1 out of 5 baboons died. I am surprised and disappointed that you are considering not printing a correction. In Dr. Ricaurte's first sentence of his response, he says, "A total of 10 monkeys and 5 baboons received the sequential dosing regimen of MDMA described in our paper." Since the original paper does NOT report that 10 monkeys were treated but only reports that 5 monkeys were treated, out of which I died, and 5 baboons were treated, out of which 1 died, this clearly seems to require a correction. Otherwise, how are readers supposed to make sense of the discrepancy between the information in the paper and that in his letter? Ricaurte wrote to you, "Our response did not mention baboons, because no questions or comments had been raised regarding baboons, not because we were attempting to "sweep data under the carpet." He also made the Clinton-like lawyerly distinction that baboons are not monkeys. Regardless, our letter in

In this vicious pecking order, males at the top bully bottom dwellers into a demoralized state of submission. PEACEMAKERS. Female olive baboons, such as this mother, may have transmitted cooperative attitudes to males that entered an African troop. PhotoDisk So, it startled Stanford University biologists Robert M. Sapolsky and Lisa J. Share to find a baboon troop in which even top-rung males exhibited remarkably peaceful behaviors. The big honchos often left weak males alone and refrained from attacking females, focusing instead on fighting each other. It's a uniquely "pacific culture" among wild baboons, Sapolsky and Share conclude. A decade earlier, the most aggressive males in this troop had died. The current top males arrived later and have no close genetic ties to the other members, past or present. Male baboons typically migrate into a troop as adolescents.

EBRA Bulletin July 1996 The supply and use of primates in the EU 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 use of primates 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.

Hamadryas Baboons (Papio hamadryas) The Bucknell hamadryas baboon colony consists of one adult male, four adult females and eleven offspring. Their ages range from less than a year to fifteen years. All adult females of the colony are descendants from original group members purchased from Primate Imports in Port Washington, New York in 1968. The adult male was acquired from the Mannheimer Foundation in Homestead, FL. All other individuals were born into the Bucknell colony. Principle Investigator: Peter Judge General Research Topics: 1. Reconciliation: Like humans, many other types of primates live in social groups. Social primates often form bonds with certain individuals within their group and rely on these individuals for support during and after agonistic interactions. Investigators here at Bucknell study the tendency of this species to make-up with one another following conflicts in order to preserve these relationships and/or prevent future conflicts. 2. Numerical competence: It is agreed among primatologists that at least primitive numerical abilities are possessed by primates other than humans. These abilities may range from more vs. less judgments to human-like counting and addition. At Bucknell, this species has been tested for its ability to judge the relative value of different sets of items.
