Foraging in the Black Lion Tamarin (L. chrysopygus Mikan, 1823) was observed in the Caetetus Ecological Station, São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, during 83 days between November 1988 to October 1990. These tamarins use manipuJative, specitic-site foraging behavior. When searching for animal prey items, they examine a variety ofmicrohabitats (dry palm leaves, twigs, under loose bark, in tree cavi...

This study examined captive cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) behavior across 3 different exhibits: (a) a rainforest (30.5 m in diameter), where tamarins free-ranged with other species; (b) a caged outdoor exhibit (5 m in diameter); and (c) a caged enclosure, with access indoors (6 x 9m) and outdoors (2.5 x 2.5 m). The study observed tamarins using focal animal scan sampling in 10 min block...

Here we present the results of a population survey of the black-faced lion tamarin, Leontopithecus caissara, on Superagüi Island, and we extrapolate this estimation to the entire population. We used the linear transect method for surveys of the area from November 2000 to January 2002. When lion tamarins were seen in transects, we noted the perpendicular distance from the path and the number of ...

The question of whether music is uniquely human is controversial with equivocal results on whether nonhuman animals can appreciate music. We argue that, although human music is unique to our species, the emotional aspects of music have a long evolutionary history. We fi rst present a theory of the emotional origins of music and then show that music/emotional features can be seen in the vocaliza...

The Electric Vehicle (EV) charging architecture consists of several actors which communicate with different protocols. A serious issue is the lack adequate privacy-preserving measures that enables generation movement profiles or inferring consumer habits by all involved actors. In this paper, we propose an extension a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)-based Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) scheme...
