10491 Results of the break-out group: Movement Data of Vervet Monkeys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Discussions in this group focused on a particular problem that arises in animal movement ecology: how to link data describing movement (i.e. sequential GPScoordinates collected on wild and free-ranging animals) with geographical and environmental context (i.e. properties of the internal and external environment within which the animals move). Our case study comprised a spatio-temporal data set on the movement of a group of vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) over a twelve months observation period. We focused on two topics: context-aware estimation of home range area and multivariate visualisation of context data.

Alimentary tract parasites of vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops): A potential reservoir for human transmission
Monkeys are important experimental models for investigating human diseases. The aim of this study was to survey the alimentary tract parasites among imported vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) to Iran. Fecal samples were collected from 40 vervets imported from Tanzania to Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute of Iran. Fecal samples were assessed by direct smear and Telman sedimentation...

A dataset representing the movement patterns of lesser black‐backed gulls (Larus fuscus) from a colony based on the island of Texel (Netherlands) has been collected by the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The dataset has a duration of several weeks coincided with the gulls breeding period. In total four gulls were tracked by fitting them with GPS sensors which recorded a timestamp, latitude, ...
متن کاملPhysiology of MPTP tremor.
Rhesus and vervet monkeys respond differently to treatment with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride neurotoxin (MPTP). Both species develop akinesia, rigidity, and severe postural instability. However, rhesus monkeys only develop infrequent, short episodes of high-frequency tremor, whereas vervet monkeys have many prolonged episodes of low-frequency tremor. After MPTP tre...

Homo erectus is notable for its taller stature and longer lower limbs relative to earlier hominids, but the selective pressures favoring such long limbs are unclear. Among anthropoid primates, patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) and extant hominids share several extreme characteristics involved with foraging and movement, including the relatively longest lower limb proportions, longest daily tra...

The results of an international comparative study of the neurovirulence of oral poliomyelitis vaccines in three species of Old World Monkeys, viz. Macacus irus (cynomolgus), M. mulalla (rhesus) and Cercopithecus aelhiops (vervet) are pre3ented. The greate~t sensitivity to Sabin poliovaccine types 1 and IIr was shown by cynomolgus monkeys, followed by rhesus and vervet monkeys, whilst vervet mon...
