Reproduction in free-ranging male Propithecus verreauxi: the hormonal correlates of mating and aggression.
Endocrine studies of captive strepsirrhine primates suggest that physical environment and social factors mediate inter-individual variations in testicular function and serum testosterone (sT) in males. While these studies have made major contributions to our understanding of the individual proximate mechanisms influencing androgen activity in male strepsirrhines, none have investigated how thes...
متن کاملEnvironmental and Intrinsic Correlates of Stress in Free-Ranging Wolves
BACKGROUND When confronted with a stressor, animals react with several physiological and behavioral responses. Although sustained or repeated stress can result in severe deleterious physiological effects, the causes of stress in free-ranging animals are yet poorly documented. In our study, we aimed at identifying the main factors affecting stress levels in free-ranging wolves (Canis lupus). M...
متن کاملHand preference influences neural correlates of action observation.
It has been argued that we map observed actions onto our own motor system. Here we added to this issue by investigating whether hand preference influences the neural correlates of action observation of simple, essentially meaningless hand actions. Such an influence would argue for an intricate neural coupling between action production and action observation, which goes beyond effects of motor r...
متن کاملDistinction between hand dominance and hand preference in primates: a behavioral investigation of manual dexterity in nonhuman primates (macaques) and human subjects
Background The present study aimed to determine and confront hand preference (hand chosen in priority to perform a manual dexterity task) and hand dominance (hand with best motor performance) in eight macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and in 20 human subjects (10 left-handers and 10 right-handers). Methods Four manual dexterity tests have been executed by the monkeys, over several weeks during lea...
متن کاملLeptospiral agglutinins in captive and free ranging non-human primates in Sarawak, Malaysia
Macaca fascicularis Trachypithecus cristatus Nasalis have been detected from wildlife in many countries, however their role as reservoirs is still poorly understood [1-3]. Leptospirosis can result in economic losses in domesticated animals and has the potential to be an important zoonotic disease of humans [4]. Leptospires were first isolated from rats in 1917 and it is widely acknowledged that...
