A 503-contact-hr study of a 35 member group ofCebus albifrons was conducted in eastern Colombia in 1977 and 1978. The reactions of the group often centered on the largest adult male,
which seemed dominant over all other members of the group. This “alpha” male reacted to perceived danger by putting himself
between the group and the danger where he threatened and observed until the other members left the scene. Many members of
the group sought the alpha's physical support while using threatening behaviors. Much tolerance towards juveniles and infants
was shown by adult and subadult males which included carrying young animals out of danger. Territorial behavior was observed
towards neighboring groups. Many behaviors were similar to other species ofCebus. 相似文献

This paper analyzes allogrooming (social grooming) data collected from two large, fully integrated and long established social
groups of macaques (one of pigtail macaques and one of bonnet macaques). The data demonstrates a species and sex difference
for total allogrooming given with females of both species giving more grooming than the males and with pigtails as a species
giving more grooming than bonnets. Also, pigtail females gave more allogrooming to clan members than to nonclan members, but
this was not true for pigtail males, bonnet males, and bonnet females. Allogrooming given and allogrooming received by age
class for both species showed development of a sexual dichotomy at three to four years. The analysis characterized some of
the social structures extant in two closely related species of macaque, particularly the somewhat different use of allogrooming
in pigtail females as opposed to the other three categories of animals. Social implications with relation to macaque societies
are discussed. 相似文献

There is strong evidence that vasodilatory nitric oxide (NO) donors have anabolic effects on bone in humans. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), the only osteoanabolic drug currently approved, is also a vasodilator. We investigated whether the NO synthase inhibitor L‐NAME might alter the effect of PTH on bone by blocking its vasodilatory effect. BALB/c mice received 28 daily injections of PTH[1–34] (80 µg/kg/day) or L‐NAME (30 mg/kg/day), alone or in combination. Hindlimb blood perfusion was measured by laser Doppler imaging. Bone architecture, turnover and mechanical properties in the femur were analysed respectively by micro‐CT, histomorphometry and three‐point bending. PTH increased hindlimb blood flow by >30% within 10 min of injection (P < 0.001). Co‐treatment with L‐NAME blocked the action of PTH on blood flow, whereas L‐NAME alone had no effect. PTH treatment increased femoral cortical bone volume and formation rate by 20% and 110%, respectively (P < 0.001). PTH had no effect on trabecular bone volume in the femoral metaphysis although trabecular thickness and number were increased and decreased by 25%, respectively. Co‐treatment with L‐NAME restricted the PTH‐stimulated increase in cortical bone formation but had no clear‐cut effects in trabecular bone. Co‐treatment with L‐NAME did not affect the mechanical strength in femurs induced by iPTH. These results suggest that NO‐mediated vasorelaxation plays partly a role in the anabolic action of PTH on cortical bone. © 2016 The Authors.

Nuclear gene trees and the phylogenetic relationships of the mangabeys (Primates: Papionini) 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Phylogenetic relationships of mangabeys within the Old World monkey tribe
Papionini are inferred from analyses of nuclear DNA sequences from five
unlinked loci. The following conclusions are strongly supported, based on
congruence among trees derived for the five separate gene regions: (1)
mangabeys are polyphyletic within the Papionini; (2) Cercocebus is the
sister taxon to the genus Mandrillus; and (3) Lophocebus belongs to a clade
with Papio and Theropithecus, with Papio as its most likely sister taxon.
Morphologically based phylogenies positing mangabey monophyly were
evaluated by mapping the sequences for each locus on these trees. The data
seem to fit these trees poorly in both maximum-parsimony and likelihood
analyses. Incongruence among nuclear gene trees occurred in the
interrelationships among Lophocebus, Papio, and Theropithecus. Several
factors that may account for this incongruence are discussed, including
sampling error, random lineage sorting, and introgression.

Evolution of eutherian cytochrome c oxidase subunit II: heterogeneous rates of protein evolution and altered interaction with cytochrome c 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (COII), encoded by the mitochondrial
genome, exhibits one of the most heterogeneous rates of amino acid
replacement among placental mammals. Moreover, it has been demonstrated
that cytochrome c oxidase has undergone a structural change in higher
primates which has altered its physical interaction with cytochrome c. We
collected a large data set of COII sequences from several orders of mammals
with emphasis on primates, rodents, and artiodactyls. Using phylogenetic
hypotheses based on data independent of the COII gene, we demonstrated that
an increased number of amino acid replacements are concentrated among
higher primates. Incorporating approximate divergence dates derived from
the fossil record, we find that most of the change occurred independently
along the New World monkey lineage and in a rapid burst before apes and Old
World monkeys diverged. There is some evidence that Old World monkeys have
undergone a faster rate of nonsynonymous substitution than have apes. Rates
of substitution at four-fold degenerate sites in primates are relatively
homogeneous, indicating that the rate heterogeneity is restricted to
nondegenerate sites. Excluding the rate acceleration mentioned above,
primates, rodents, and artiodactyls have remarkably similar nonsynonymous
replacement rates. A different pattern is observed for transversions at
four-fold degenerate sites, for which rodents exhibit a higher rate of
replacement than do primates and artiodactyls. Finally, we hypothesize
specific amino acid replacements which may account for much of the
structural difference in cytochrome c oxidase between higher primates and
other mammals.
