Anthropogenic influences on primate antipredator behavior and implications for research and conservation
Predation risk affects prey species' behavior, even in the absence of a direct threat, but human‐induced environmental change may disturb ecologically significant predator–prey interactions. Here, we propose various ways in which knowledge of antipredator tactics, behavioral risk effects, and primate–predator interactions could assist in identifying human‐caused disruption to natural systems. Using behavior to evaluate primate responses to the on…
What have we been looking at? A call for consistency in studies of primate vigilance
Vigilance functions to detect threats. In primates, these threats emerge from both predators and conspecifics, but a host of other social, demographic, and ecological factors have been shown to influence primate vigilance patterns. The primate vigilance literature is thus characterized by considerable variation in findings, with inconsistent or contradictory results reported not only across different species but also within species and population…
No-Shows At a Community Mental Health Clinic: A Pilot Study
Potential patients who do not show up for their first appointments at a mental health clinic represent a puzzling and important phenomenon. When the setting, as in this study, is a multi-ethnic community, the psychosocial determinants for such behaviour are complex indeed. The author presents preliminary data relating clinic no-show rate to the variables of age, sex, presenting problem, and referral source. From the patterns which emerge from the…
Psychiatric Consultation in Micronesia: The Question of Organicity
The authors report on 37 referrals seen for psychiatric consultation during visits to various islands in Micronesia. A large number demonstrated either organic mental disorders or con tributory medical illnesses. Observed differences between males and females are examined. In such cross-cultural settings, the authors emphasize the need for psychiatric expertise respon sive not only to the dimension of culture in evaluation and treatment, but also…
Clinical Aspects of Cultural Psychiatry On Guam
The authors would like to express their gratitude to the patients and staff of the Guam Community Mental Health Center, in particular to Dr. E, Paramaguru (Medical Director), Gregory Marone (Psychologist), Mama Cing (Administrator), and Josephine Mesa (Secretary), for the many ideas and insights which made possible this manuscript
Cross-Cultural Psychiatry in Micronesia: The Consultant's View
Patients evaluated by the authors as consulting clinical psychiatrists in a cross- cultural setting, Micronesia, form the basis for an examination of regional variations in demographic characteristics, diagnoses, and referral patterns. Different rates of occurrence of disorders, selective referral practices, and diversity in manifestation of symptomatology are all considered. The authors offer suggestions regarding social and cultural factors whi…
