Predation and predation attempts on red titi monkeys (Callicebus discolor) and equatorial sakis (Pithecia aequatorialis) in Amazonian Ecuador.
Anecdotal reports of predation as well as observed predation attempts and rates of animal disappearance provide some of the most relevant data for evaluating the influence that predation risk may have on primate behavioural ecology. Here, we report rates of disappearance from six groups of red titi monkeys (Callicebus discolor) and two groups of equatorial sakis (Pithecia aequatorialis) followe...
متن کاملAdenovirus hepatitis in a boa constrictor (Boa constrictor).
A boa constrictor was submitted for postmortem evaluation. At necropsy, there were no substantial lesions except in the liver. Light microscopy revealed severe multifocal to coalescing coagulative necrotic hepatitis, with basophilic and eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions in hepatocytes within the necrotic foci. The histopathological findings suggested a viral hepatitis. An adenoviral infectio...
متن کاملDifferences in titi monkey (Callicebus cupreus) social bonds affect arousal, affiliation, and response to reward.
Titi monkeys (Callicebus cupreus) are a monogamous, New World primate. Adult pair-mates form a bidirectional social bond and offspring form a selective unidirectional bond to their father. Some of the neurobiology involved in social bonds and maternal behavior is similar to the neural circuitry involved in nonsocial reward. Due to these overlapping mechanisms, social states may affect responses...

We present information on the distribution of the endemic Bolivian primates Callicebus olallae and C. modestus based on a series of site visits in the Beni Department. Callicebus olallae was registered at four localities and C. modestus at 11 localities, and in combination with negative data and localities for other Callicebus species in the region we defined the distributional boundaries for b...
متن کاملNuclear medicine begins with a boa constrictor.
In the beginning, a boa constrictor defecated in London and the subsequent development of nuclear medicine was inevitable. It took a little time, but the 139-yr chain of cause and effect that followed was inexorable ( 1 ). One June week in 1815 an exotic animal exhibition was held on the Strand in London. A young "animal chemist" named William Prout (we would now call him a clinical pathologist...
