Vegetative predictors of primate abundance: utility and limitations of a fine-scale analysis

Article Abstract:

A study to assess the usefulness and limitation of small-scale, within-transect analysis of vegetative parameters as predictors of primate abundance in very heterogeneous forest habitat in the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania is conducted. The method was found to be useful in predicting significant correlations between primate abundance and vegetative parameters, such as tree basal area, canopy cover and amount of forest gaps.

Cranial ontogeny, diet, and ecogeographic variation in African lorises

Article Abstract:

A study that is carried out to investigate the ecogeographic patterning of body-size variation in pottos, adult skull dimensions and was compared with available field data on latitude, longitude and altitude is discussed. Analyses of relative growth show that skull properties in Perodicticus subspecies are largely ontogenetically scaled.

Chimpanzee facial symmetry: a biometric measure of chimpanzee health

Article Abstract:

A study based on fitness indicator theory which described the relationships among indicators of fitness in humans and other animals and associations among chimpanzee facial fluctuation asymmetry (FA) is reported. The FA was found to be positively associated with negative health symptoms and negatively associated with general health.
