Hand preference depends on posture in common marmosets
Postural conditions are known to affect hand use in many primate species. It remains to be examined how posture and task differences modulate, or interact with, hand use in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). Three experimental conditions were introduced to assess the occurrence of preferential hand use as a function of posture and size of aperture for the subjects to grasp and retrieve the ...
متن کاملEffects of hand posture, breathing type, arm posture and body posture on hand errors.
This study consisted of 2 experiments. Experiment 1 examined the effects of hand posture, arm posture and body posture on hand error, while experiment 2 examined the effects of hand posture, breathing type and body posture on hand error. This study showed that more hand errors occurred in the nondominant hand, extended arm, normal breathing and standing compared with errors in the dominant hand...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine response to female ovulatory odors depends upon social condition in male common marmosets, Callithrix jacchus.
Male mammals show rapid behavioral and hormonal responses to signals from sexually receptive females. However, rapid endocrine responses to female signals have not been observed in a nonhuman primate. Here, we tested the behavioral and hormonal response of male common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) to isolated scent secretions from ovulatory females or to vehicle control scent. Fifteen males we...
متن کاملCoalescence preference depends on size inequality.
During bubble or droplet coalescence, there is a puzzling tendency for the coalesced bubble or droplet to be preferentially placed closer to the larger of its two parents. We confirm that this preference is a function of parent size ratio by directly visualizing coalescing air bubbles on an oil-water interface and coalescing water droplets immersed in oil. We find that the final position of the...
متن کاملFamilial influences on ovulatory function in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus).
Previous studies have indicated that many, but not all, female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) housed with their natal families undergo social suppression of ovulation. In this study, we further characterized ovulatory activity in common marmoset daughters to determine the prevalence of social suppression of ovulation and to elucidate familial influences on daughters' ovarian activity. Bl...
