摘要:
Recent examinations of the functional morphology underlying strepsirhine primate leaping behaviors have identified several cross-sectional features of long bones that can be associated with interspecific differences in leaping frequency and/or body size. In this study the cross-sectional parameters of strepsirhine fore- and hindlimb long bones are examined relative to body weight, bone length, phylogenetic affiliation, leaping frequency and landing kinematics. Humeral cross-sectional morphology is conservative relative to both phylogenetic and functional groupings. As a result, humeral cross-sectional area should prove useful as a size surrogate in future comparative studies. After the effects of bone length and body weight are controlled, ‘frequent’ leapers have stronger and more rigid femoral and tibial midshafts than do ‘less-frequent’ leapers. Landing style is conflated with leaping frequency and it is difficult to explain morphological variation exclusively by either leaping frequency or landing style. Further behavioral research, especially field study of locomotion, is needed to disentangle the effects of these mechanically important aspects of leaping loc

摘要:
Two baboons performed 2 types of haptic discrimination of three-dimensional object pairs, by using the right and left hands in the same number of trials. One task focused on the discrimination of the objects’ shape, another on the convexity or concavity of the objects. It was found that the left was better than the right hand to discriminate the shape of objects. Regardless of the task, objects were also explored longer with the left than with the right hand. It is suggested that these hand differences are congruent with the hypothesis of an advantage of the right hemisphere in monkeys for haptic perceptio
