The influence of anthropogenic edge effects on primate populations and their habitat in a fragmented rainforest in Costa Rica
Brain Evolution and Energetics of Encephalization
Many researchers investigating the evolution of brain enlargement in humans, as well as other primates and mammals, have focused on the benefits. However, researchers are increasingly recognizing the importance of the energetic costs of encephalization and how these constraints must be overcome during the selection for increased brain size. There are many adaptive pathways, including prolonged life history, increased metabolic rates, reduction of…
Testing parallel laser image scaling for remotely measuring body dimensions on mantled howling monkeys ( Alouatta palliata )
Body size is a fundamental variable for many studies in primate biology. However, obtaining body dimensions of wild primates through live capture is difficult and costly, so developing an alternative inexpensive and non-invasive method is crucial. Parallel laser image scaling for remotely measuring body size has been used with some success in marine and terrestrial animals, but only one arboreal primate. We further tested the efficacy of this met…
The Elephant Trap: A Conundrum of Captivity
Encephalization, expensive tissues, and energetics: An examination of the relative costs of brain size in strepsirrhines
The evolution of encephalization requires that energetic challenges be met. Several hypotheses, such as the maternal energy and expensive tissue hypotheses, have been proposed to explain how some species are able to provide adequate energetic resources for large brains. The former incorporates maternal investment strategies, such as extended life history and elevated resting metabolic rate, which contribute to the growth of a large brain. The lat…
