چکیده
P ERIODONTOSIS may be defined as a noninflammatory degenerative disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, causing them to become loose and wander from their position in the dental arch. Rapid loss of the teeth is the usual. It affects the younger age group and it is believed to be more frequent in females. This disease was first described by Gottlieb in 1920. Since that time many investigators have searched into the problems of histopathology, pat,hogenesis, and etiology; as yet no unity of opinion exists.

Chemical recognition of fruit ripeness in spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)
Primates are now known to possess well-developed olfactory sensitivity and discrimination capacities that can play a substantial role in many aspects of their interaction with conspecifics and the environment. Several studies have demonstrated that olfactory cues may be useful in fruit selection. Here, using a conditioning paradigm, we show that captive spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) display...
متن کاملTaste responsiveness to two steviol glycosides in three species of nonhuman primates
Primates have been found to differ widely in their taste perception and studies suggest that a co-evolution between plant species bearing a certain taste substance and primate species feeding on these plants may contribute to such between-species differences. Considering that only platyrrhine primates, but not catarrhine or prosimian primates, share an evolutionary history with the neotropical ...
متن کاملComparison of Foraging Behavior Between Howler Monkeys, Spider Monkeys, and Squirrel Monkeys
Different monkey species have different foraging behaviors based on their preferred food quality and its availability. We compared foraging behavior of focal individuals of 3 monkey species: Alouatta palliata (howler monkey; a folivore), Ateles geoffroyi (spider monkey; a frugivore) and Saimiri oerstedii (squirrel monkey; an omnivore on fruits and insects). We predicted that howler monkeys woul...
متن کاملBRIEF REPORTS Variability in Spider Monkeys' Vocalizations May Provide Basis for Individual Recognition
Analysis of long-range vocalizations given by spider monkeys revealed consistent acoustic differences among the calls of individuals. Of seven acoustic measurements, four exhibited significant variation between individuals. A discriminant analysis demonstrated that two of these variables allowed correct identification of the caller 44% of the time. Including the remainder of the variables incre...
متن کاملStable isotope ratios indicate diet and habitat use in New World monkeys.
This paper demonstrates the use of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in animal tissue for indicating aspects of species behavioral strategy. We analyzed hair from individuals representing four species of New World monkeys (Alouatta palliata, the mantled howler; Ateles geoffroyi, the spider monkey; Cebus capucinus, the capuchin; and Brachyteles arachnoides, the woolly-spider monkey or...
