Aspects of the Behavior of the Sifaka Propithecus
verreauxi verreauxi The sifaka, one of the Malagasy lemurs, were filmed in the arid forest
of southern Madagascar. The film shows locomotion, grooming, dominance,
marking behavior, and infant-parent relationships, and is of interest
to behaviorists, particularly primatologists. Ecology and Behavior of the Pata Monkey Erythrocebus
patas The patas monkey is predominately terrestrial, adapted for life in
the harsh savanna that extends around the southern periphery of the
Sahara. The social and physical adaptations of the patas permit them
to exploit the savannas successfully, but climate catastrophes can cause
numerous deaths and reduction of the breeding population. Behavior and Ecology of vervet Monkeys Cercopithecus
aethiops Filmed in Kenya’s Masai-Amboseli Game Reserve, this field study
describes the basic aspects of the behavior and ecology of free-ranging
vervet monkeys. It is useful for students studying animal behavior and
for those specifically interested in primate behavior. Vocalization of Wild Chimpanzees Sound signals used by the chimpanzees of the Gombe National Park in
Tanzania have been recorded in synchrony with the filming of other social
activities. This film can serve as an introduction for graduate students
and researchers. Phagocytosis and Degranulation This film embraces studies on neutrophil and eosinophil leukocytes.
As two examples, chicken leukocytes engulf Bacillus megaterium and horse
eosinophils engulf human erythrocytes. The degranulating and cytotoxic
effects of streptolysin are shown, as are similar effects of antiserum
on granules. Human, horse, and chicken leukocytes are examined. Pinocytosis and Granular Formation in Macrophages In this study of macrophage pseudopods, pinocytic vesicles are seen
as clear droplets of various sizes. Macrophages are cultured in vitro.
Pinocytic activity leads to the formation of large, clear vesicles in
the perinuclear area. Macrophage shows transformation of a clear vesicle
into a dense granule. |
