چکیده
The WAGR syndrome is a multiple congenital anomaly–mental retardation syndrome caused by interstitial deletion of the distal portion of chromosome 11p13. It is a contiguous gene deletion syndrome, and WAGR is an acronym for the primary features: W for Wilms tumor, A for aniridia, G for genital anomalies, and R for mental retardation. Wilms tumor and male genital anomalies are caused by deletion of the WT1 tumorsuppressor gene, and aniridia is caused by deletion of PAX6 ocular developmental gene. Mental retardation is presumed to be a consequence of deletion of multiple as yet unidentified genes in the region. Individuals with the WAGR syndrome have a high risk for developing Wilms tumor and late-onset renal failure, and should be monitored for these complications.

Geographic variation in the calls of wild chimpanzees: a reassessment.
Male chimpanzees produce a species-typical call, the pant hoot, to communicate to conspecifics over long-distances. Calls given by males from the well-known Gombe and Mahale populations typically consist of four different phases: an introduction, build-up, climax, and let-down. Recent observations suggest that chimpanzees living in the Kibale National Park, Uganda, consistently give calls that ...

meaning that human observers were also there on a regular basis. Second, because Psydrax trees are relatively short with sparse canopies, it was easy for the observer to notice the dead body. We may not have been able to notice the remains if a higher and denser-canopied tree were involved or in a place less frequented by the chimpanzees. In such cases, we cannot solve the disappearances of inf...
