|
Lemurs are found in |
Madagascar |
|
|
Two suborders of primates are |
platyrrhine and catarrhine |
|
|
presence of wet, snout-like noses indicates |
a species of strepsirhini that retain a rhinarium found only in prosimian primates |
|
|
Enhanced sense of vision in primate is due to |
forward rotation of the eyes color vision |
|
|
Primate females |
give birth to fewer babies than other mammals |
|
|
Anthropoids include |
monkeys apes humans |
|
|
Prosimian adaptions include |
enlarged olfactory bulb and enlarged scent glands |
|
|
Prehensile tails |
allow tail use in arboreal adaption present only in some platyrrhines |
|
|
Colobine Primates |
have specialized digestive anatomy for eating leaves |
|
|
Suborder prosimians include |
lemurs lorises galagos |
|
|
Arboreal adaption |
adaption to life in trees |
|
|
presence of large space between the canine and first premolar indicates that the primate is |
most likely a species of Old World Monkey or ape, as the space in the teeth of the mandible suggests the presence of a canine-premolar honing complex |
|
|
catarrhines are |
old world monkeys |
|
|
rhinarium is present in |
prosimians |
|
|
y-5 molar morphology is present in |
apes and humans |
|
|
relative to body size, primate brain size |
is larger among great apes than other primates |
|
|
increased brain size observed in primates... |
results in extended periods of nursing and development to accommodate increasing behavioral complexity and demonstrates the importance of intelligence in evolution
|
|
|
Dietary plasticity |
a diet's flexibility in adapting to a given envrionment |
|
|
African monkeys, including Miss Waldron's red Colobus, are |
among the most endangered animals due to human exploitation of resources |
|
|
y-5 cusp pattern is unique to |
human and human ancestor's teeth |
|
|
Sir William le Gros Clark idendtified 3 tendencies of primates |
arboreal adaption parental investment dietary plasicity |
|
|
preadpation |
the use of an anatomical feature in a way unrealted to the feature's original function |
|
|
Primates have long growth and developmental periods because |
they have higher intelligence and larger brains relative to other animals |
|
|
among all primates, humans have |
the largest brain relative to body size |
|
|
cladistic approach to primate classification |
based in the use of anatomical and genetic evidence to establish ancestral lines -includes strepsirhines and haplorhines |
|
|
phylogeny |
evolutionary relationships that are based on shared characteristics including physical traits, genetics, and behavior |
|
|
Strepsirhines have |
a wet nose a snout tooth comb grooming claw |
|
|
brachiation |
using the forelimbs to move from tree limb to tree limb |
|
|
Cattarhines' nostrils are |
close together and point downward |
|
|
