  • A facilitatory effect of first-constituent frequency was found only in trials where distractors promoted firstconstituent learning, and a facilitatory effect of second-constituent frequency only in trials where distractors promoted second-constituent learning, but not vice versa. (ilcb.fr)
  • We found that bucks treated groans with lowered f o (more dominant), and lowered formant frequencies (larger caller) as more threatening. (biomedcentral.com)
  • data, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/05/10/135491 ), and in the absence of recent reports of human yaws in Tanzania ( 10 ), it is currently unclear whether NHP strains naturally infect humans. (cdc.gov)
  • The absence of any fresh or recent gorilla signs in that sector during the survey period (toward the end of the dry season in the Afi area) might be due to a recent bushfire that damaged large areas. (berggorilla.org)
  • We show that Guinea baboons ( Papio papio ) can use direct reciprocity and partner choice to develop and maintain high levels of cooperation in a prosocial choice task. (ilcb.fr)
  • Complete failure of the müllerian system results in the absence of the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and most of the vagina (Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome). (medscape.com)

  • However, many of these reports were based on observations of mounts, either with or without intromission and ejaculation, collected unsystematically, with inferences made about female reproductive state in the absence of endocrinological confirmation of pregnancy. (plos.org)
  • Our findings indicate that T. pallidum infection is geographically widespread in Tanzania and occurs in several species (olive baboons, yellow baboons, vervet monkeys, and blue monkeys). (cdc.gov)
  • Results: The 212 serum samples were collected in 7 counties from 87 (41.0%) Olive baboons, 69 (32.5%) Vervet monkeys, and 49 (23.1%) Sykes monkeys. (cdc.gov)
  • The first published report of T. pallidum infection in Tanzanian NHPs came from anogenital ulcerated olive baboons ( Papio anubis ) at Gombe National Park (GNP) in the late 1980s ( 5 ), followed by cases reported from olive baboons at Lake Manyara National Park (LMNP) ( 3 , 6 , 7 ) and Serengeti National Park (SNP) ( 3 ).

  • red colobus [ Piliocolobus badius ], and chimpanzees [ Pan trogoldytes ]) ( 9 ), the infection in Tanzania was exclusively reported from olive baboons in northern parts of the country. (cdc.gov)
  • We hypothesized that, in Tanzania, A) NHPs other than olive baboons are infected with the T. pallidum bacterium and B) that infection is not restricted to northern parts of the country. (cdc.gov)
  • Both types differ in sensitivity to common antiepileptic drugs, which closely resembles the absence and focal types of epilepsy in humans. (nih.gov)
  • Spontaneously recurrent spike-wave absence seizures in rats can be selectively blocked by drugs effective in petit mal (absence) epilepsy in man, demonstrating the validity of this new petit mal model for anticonvulsant drug screening. (nih.gov)
  • With respect to seizure types and drug efficacies in these species, rats and chickens may represent suitable models for grand mal epilepsy, whereas baboons offer a useful model of photomyoclonic seizures. (nih.gov)
  • In people susceptible to ILS, 12- to 18-Hz frequencies are more likely to elicit seizures than others, and the degree of photosensitivity may depend on the time of day, usually being increased early in the morning. (medscape.com)
  • Models with reflex seizures comprise photosensitive baboons (Papio papio) and fowl, audiogenic seizure susceptible mice and rats, and gerbils with seizures in response to different sensory stimuli. (nih.gov)
  • Baboons (genus Papio) are a morphologically and behaviorally diverse clade of catarrhine monkeys that have experienced hybridization between phenotypically and genetically distinct phylogenetic species. (bvsalud.org)
  • Clinical photoconvulsive seizures or subclinical photoparoxysmal responses occur when an individual is exposed to intermittent light stimulation (ILS), consisting of flashes of light of a particular frequency. (medscape.com)
  • Models with idiopathic spontaneous recurrent seizures are epileptic dogs, tottering mice, and rats with spike-wave absence (petit mal) seizures. (nih.gov)
  • In tottering mice, two types of spontaneous recurrent seizures occur: spike-wave absence seizures and focal motor seizures. (nih.gov)
  • Geographical distribution of blood groups (the differences in gene frequency between populations) is broadly consistent with the classification of "races" developed by early anthropologists on the basis of visible features. (wikipedia.org)
  • We describe the first example of a baboon population with a genetic composition that is derived from three distinct lineages. (bvsalud.org)
  • We used high-coverage whole-genome sequences from 225 wild baboons representing 19 geographic localities to investigate population genomics and interspecies gene flow. (bvsalud.org)
