Sentences with word «guenon»

For my dissertation I am studying the form and function of guenon face patterns.

Mama guenon, Mimi, was an outstanding first - time mother: always attentive and anticipating baby Zuri's needs before she made a fuss.

This indicates that there are likely pre-mating barriers to heterospecific mating; previous research in my lab has indicated that the face patterns exhibited by guenons are likely contributing to maintaining species boundaries and have been under selective pressures to diversify (i.e. there is evidence of character displacement in sympatric species groups).

Guenons often form polyspecfic groups in which up to six species live side by side, however hybridization between species, while possible, is rare in undisturbed circumstances.

Prior to this I was a a post-doc in James Higham's lab at New York University investigating how the colourful face patterns of guenon primates were involved in the adaptive radiation of the tribe.

A new study of guenon monkeys in Gombe National Park is the first to provide genetic evidence of ongoing mating between two distinct species.

That puts Koons in good company, as other prized Minskoff holdings include Jackson Pollock's Wounded Animal (1943), a group of Willem de Kooning figurative and abstract works, and 19 pieces by Pablo Picasso, including his bronze sculpture La guenon et son petit (1951).

When the team sequenced these regions and compared them to those from SFV strains isolated from a wide variety of different species, they discovered that one person had most likely been infected with an SFV strain from a gorilla, one with a mandrill strain, and the third with a virus from a monkey species called De Brazza's guenon.

I will extend this research using a variety of techniques, including computational recognition algorithms based on photographs of guenon faces, modeling of evolutionary scenarios, experiments to assess guenon preferences, and measurements of guenon behavior and ecology.

Guenons are a group of forest monkeys in Africa that exhibit an extraordinary variety of colorful facial displays.
