  • The Evolution of Exudativory in Primates

    Edición de Anne M. Burrows, Leanne T Nash ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    I first became involved in research into primate behavior and ecology in 1968, over 40 years ago, driven by a quest for a better understanding of the natural context of primate evolution. At that time, it was virtually unknown that primates can exploit exudates as a major food source. I was certainly unaware of this myself. By good fortune, I was awarded a postdoctoral grant to work on lemurs with ... Leer más

    Extraordinary Differences between the Sexes in the Animal Kingdom

    While we joke that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, our gender differences can't compare to those of other animals. For instance: the male garden spider spontaneously dies after mating with a female more than fifty times his size. Female cichlids must guard their eggs and larvae--even from the hungry appetites of their own partners. And male blanket octopuses employ a copulatory arm ... Leer más
