Twinning and heteropaternity in chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes )
Unlike monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins develop from separate ova. The resulting twins can have different sires if the fertilizing sperm comes from different males. Routine paternity testing of a pair of same‐sexed chimpanzee twins born to a female housed with two males indicated that the twins were sired by two different males. DNA typing of 22 short‐tandem repeat (STR) loci demonstrated that these twins were not MZ twins but heterop…

Maternal age, parity, and reproductive outcome in captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
As early as the 1970s, it was suggested that nonhuman primates may serve as models of human reproductive senescence. In the present study, the reproductive outcomes of 1,255 pregnancies in captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) were examined in relation to parity and its covariate, maternal age. The results show that the percentage of positive pregnancy outcomes was negatively correlated with increasing parity. In addition, spontaneous abortions, …
Examining the terminal investment hypothesis in humans and chimpanzees
The terminal investment hypothesis (Williams [1966] Adaptation and Natural Selection; Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press) holds that reproductive effort should increase over time in iteroparous species in which reproductive value declines with age. Attempts to model this hypothesis and test it in various species have produced mixed results. Clutton-Brock ([ 1984] Am. Nat. 123:212-229) argued that simply testing for changes in propagule siz…
Pierre Smith (1939-2001)
Pour Léonard et Moïra Pierre Smith a mis un terme à son retranchement du monde le 6 juin 2001, à Carignan, dans les Ardennes françaises, non loin de l’ancienne demeure maternelle de Florenville, de l’autre côté de la frontière. Il y a de cela plusieurs années, il avait fait choix d’emprunter un de ces sentiers de traverse sur lesquels l’euphorie du vagabondage peut faire oublier le risque de l’égarement. « Attiré par les études de lettres, puis d…

Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta) group formation and housing
In the present report, we examined the effects of group formation strategy and corral design on wounding and reproduction rates in rhesus macaques. Specifically, we examined group formation using a staged strategy, in which small groups of animals were introduced incrementally over a period of weeks, and a rapid formation strategy, in which all animals were introduced in 1 day. We also examined group formation using a divided corral design that f…

Reproduction in Coquerel's dwarf lemur ( Mirza coquereli )
Most nocturnal Malagasy primates, as well as many diurnal species, are highly endangered in their natural habitat. Captive breeding programs have been established for many species, but detailed information on reproduction is only available for three nocturnal taxa: the mouse lemur ( Microcebus murinus ), the dwarf lemur ( Cheirogaleus medius ), and the greater dwarf lemur ( Cheirogaleus major ). In this study, we present data for another nocturna…
Application of fecal steroid techniques to the reproductive endocrinology of female verreaux's Sifaka ( Propithecus verreauxi )
Solid phase extraction, high performance liquid chromatography, and radioimmunoassay were used to test the validity of fecal steroid analysis for assessing ovarian function in sifaka ( Propithecus verreauxi ). Daily fecal samples were collected over a 4 month period from two cycling female sifaka, and single samples were collected from females during normal gestation and males while housed at the Duke University Primate Center. Tests of radioimmu…

Centralisation du pouvoir
On considère le matériel que sont les noms des 3 167 quartiers (segments de lignage localisés) des 712 villages administratifs actuels de la partie du Moogo (Burkina Faso) correspondant à l'ancienne zone de prépondérance du royaume du Yatenga. Une fois justifiée la réduction du nombre des quartiers étudiés à 1 504, on montre que cet échantillon relève pour une part significative (59,7 %) d'une toponymie fonctionnelle dont sont isolées seize compo…

Un moment de la conscience européenne
L’Europe n’en finira certainement jamais avec « l'Europe » ; curieux destin que celui du nom de ce bout extrême de continent qui prend facilement statut de concept, pour peu que les temps l'exigent. Et curieux concept en vérité, qui semble ne pouvoir exister qu'associé, explicitement ou non, à deux prédicats opposés : penser l'Europe, c'est penser une Europe contre une autre. Depuis les guerres napoléoniennes, et quels qu'aient été les aléas de l…

Le monarque du royaume mooga du Yatenga (Burkina Faso) est à la fois chef (naaba), roi (rima) et maître de la force (pangsoba), titres auxquels correspondent des concepts qui sont autant de paramètres de la souveraineté. A partir de certaines séquences des rituels royaux exécutés lors de l’articulation de deux règnes, on émet l’hypothèse que le pouvoir du naaba acquiert progressivement la force que détient le pangsoba par la médiation de la terre…

Lactation and care for unrelated infants in forest‐living ringtailed Lemurs
An adult female ringtailed lemur ( Lemur catta ) known not to have been pregnant showed spontaneous lactation in response to twin infants born to an unrelated female. The females had met only 7 months earlier, when they and two other unrelated adult females were released from separate locations in a forest enclosure to form a new social group. Three months after release, an adult male from an adjacent enclosure gained access to the new group for …
Reproduction in the slow loris ( Nycticebus coucang )
The reproductive biology of the slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) is poorly documented because of infrequent captive breeding success and the absence of field studies of this species. Reproductive data were collected from a breeding colony of slow lorises held at the Duke University Primate Center for the past 10 years. Nineteen infants were born, with a sex ratio of 1:1 and a neonatal mortality rate of 15.8%. In all cases, litter size was one. Fem…

Scaling of growth and life history traits relative to body size, brain size, and metabolic rate in Lorises and Galagos (Lorisidae, primates)
A broad range of variation in body size, brain size, and metabolic rate occurs within the primate family Lorisidae, thus providing an opportunity to examine the relationship of these three parameters to variation in growth and life history traits. Data on adult body weight, gestation length, lactation length, age at first estrus, litter size, and growth parameters were collected from a captive colony of four lorisid species, Loris tardigradus, Ny…
Ecology, Culture, Social Organization, and State Formation in Southeast Asia [and Comments and Reply]
In this paper I call attention to the significance of Southeast Asia to discussions of the nature of state formation. While it is now apparent that certain phases of cultural evolution came early in Southeast Asia, the state was a late and, in some respects, incomplete development. Southeast Asian states do not appear to have developed into the fully centralized, highly stratified, totalitarian regimes held to typify other regions of Asia, such a…

Mission chez les Mossi du Yatenga
Meeting for the Co-ordination and Planning of the Collection of African Oral Traditions
This meeting was organised jointly by the Government of Haute-Volta and by the Cultural Division of U.N.E.S.C.O., which had taken the initiative, as part of its preparation for a general History of Africa. In this context one must mention also the recent colloquia held at Niamey and at Timbuktu, the former concerned with oral, the second with written sources, ofAfrican history. This Ouagadougou meeting was essentially logistic in character; havin…

Reproduction in the slender loris ( Loris tardigradus malabaricus )
A breeding colony of slender lorises ( Loris tardigradus malabaricus ) was studied to obtain data for comparison with other prosimian species, to contribute reproductive information for improving management of captive lorises, and to resolve some uncertainties in the literature regarding reproduction in the slender loris. At the Duke University Primate Center, a female slender loris reached sexual maturity at approximately ten months of age and c…
Gestation length in Tarsius bancanus
A gestation length of 178 days was determined for Tarsius bancanus based on a vaginal smear containing whole sperm. This value replaces the only previously reported information on gestation length in tarsiers, a rough estimate of approximately 6 months for T. syrichta
Le sexe des ancêtres
The Sex of the Ancestors. Among the Mossi in Burkina Faso the existence of the autonomous human individual comes from a double process : of ' indi- vidualization linked to the action of the spirits of the wild (kinkirse) and of socialization linked to that of the ancestors (kiimse) . Every new-born child receives its individual substance (siiga) from an ancestor (siigsoba), whose gender is formally indépendant of the child's. Shortly before biolo…
Reproductive cycles in Tarsius bancanus
The reproductive condition of three pairs of Bornean tarsiers ( Tarsius bancanus ) was documented for 16 months. Each pair was housed separately under a constant photoperiod (L:D = 11.5:12.5) similar to that in their native habitat. Reproductive cycles of females were monitored visually for 6 months and were then monitored with vaginal smears and measurements of external genitalia for an additional 10 months. Progressive proliferation and cornifi…
Isolation of females prior to parturition reduces neonatal mortality in Galago
Eighteen years of birth records for three species of Galago at the Duke University Primate Center were examined to determine the effects of isolation of pregnant females on neonatal mortality rates. Isolation significantly decreased neonatal mortality rates in all three species over neonatal mortality rates in infants born to unisolated females. The frequency of cannibalism of infants did not differ between isolated and unisolated females. Second…

Description of ultrasonic vocalizations of the mouse lemur ( Microcebus murinus ) and the fat‐tailed dwarf lemur ( Cheirogaleus medius )
Ultrasonic (>20 kHz) vocalizations were recorded from two species of prosimian primates, Microcebus murinus and Cheirogaleus medius . Three types of ultrasonic calls were emitted by isolated or paired M. murinus : 1) “chirps,” short‐duration (30 msec) calls with a sharp onset at 40 kHz followed by rapid and steep declines in frequency and intensity; 2) “twitters,” characterized by a brief pulse at 25 kHz prior to the onset of repeating, frequency…
Lactation length in three species of Galago
Milk expression was used to determine lactation length in three species of Galago at the Duke University Primate Center. Lactation length in G. senegalensis moholi was significantly shorter than the lactation length of either G. garnettii or G. crassicaudatus , but lactation length did not differ between G. garnettii or G. crassicaudatus . Litter size had no significant effect on lactation length. The lactation lengths determined in this study ar…
