The Effects of Habitat Disturbance on Lemurs at Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar
Mitochondrial DNA of the Mauritian macaques ( Macaca fascicularis )
Macaque monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis ) were introduced to the island of Mauritius approximately 400 years ago. This study compares the mitochondrial DNA of macaques on Mauritius with those from Indonesia and the Philippines. The goal is to measure the amount of evolutionary change that has occurred in this isolated population over 400 years, and to address questions regarding the origin of the Mauritian founders. Amplification of the control reg…
Climate and reproductive seasonality in two free-ranging island populations of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatto)
Allogrooming, partner choice, and dominance in male anubis baboons
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that among unrelated male baboons ( Papio cynocephalus anubis ) in single‐gender social groups there is no significant association between dominance status and allogrooming performance. The hypothesis was tested using behavioral measures obtained by focal animal sampling techniques. The results indicate that unrelated male baboons established well‐defined linear dominance hierarchies, formed allogroo…
Scratching, dominance, tension, and displacement in male baboons
This paper reports a study designed to test the hypothesis that a relationship exists among dominance rank, tension, and scratch behaviors in anubis baboons ( Papio cynocephalus anubis ). Our study was conducted on two groups of male baboons, each containing eight unrelated individuals who were approximately 6 years of age and who shared common rearing histories. Focal animal sampling was used to collect behavioral data. Hand scratching, foot scr…
Subspecific divergence in a loud call of the ruffed lemur ( Varecia variegata )
A loud call of the ruffed lemur ( Varecia variegata ) was analyzed for subspecific and gender differences according to four variables: pulse rate, median pulse duration, median high frequency, and median low frequency. These vocalizations of black‐and‐white and red ruffed lemurs and one hybrid ruffed lemur were recorded at the Duke University Primate Center (Durham, NC). Significant differences were found between subspecies but not between the se…
Psychological Variables and Ability to Pronounce a Second Language
The following study tested the hypothesis that the ability to speak a second language authentically or like a native speaker was related to an individual's sensitivity to cues in interpersonal situations, his empathic capacity. A test of empathy consisted of silent film clips shown at various speeds; subjects were asked to indicate each change in facial expression they observed. A test group of 28 University students took this and additional cont…
