Hi,
Can anybody tell me whether we should actually use the term estrus (or oestrus as the English still say) for catarrhines. Many sources want us to say menstrual cycle rather than estrous cycle so is the term estrus not also incorrect??
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Friends:
One of the best essays on the use of the term is William Etkin's article "Reproductive Behaviors" in Social Behavior and Organization among Vertebrates, ed. by William Etkins, U. of Chicago Press, 1964:75-116. As Etkins notes "The term estrus (older spelling, oestrus) previously meant the period of sexual receptivity or heat in the female. Today, however, this is know to be correlated with changes in the entire reproductive system of the animal, and the term has been expanded to include these changes as well as heat behavior." So we include the early period of the cycle in some animals, eg. the guinea pig or proestrus, , estrus proper ("heat" observed differently as behavior of note in some animals) and metestrus or implantation (also recognized by some animals as a change in behavior) and a quiescent stage in some (diestrus). But there are also associated ideas of variations in kind and structure of
the cyclic nature or occurence, as a "rut period" paralleled by male periods of response or in song birds the growth of certain areas of the brain, seasonally polyestrus animals, permanently polyestrus or monestrus. Varied, complex and requires detailed reference in all. Still, one has to keep in mind that English uses Latin orthography and grammar and cannot always be expected to produce regular usage, especially by scientists who learn their Latin as only a taxonomic tool.

Subject: [PS] NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: CODING AND REDUNDANCY: MAN-MADE AND
ANIMAL-EVOLVED SIGNALS
Message-ID: <484EA8D3.8050402@primate.wisc.edu>
*CODING AND REDUNDANCY: MAN-MADE AND ANIMAL-EVOLVED SIGNALS *
Jack P. Hailman
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book explores the strikingly similar ways in which information is encoded in nonverbal man-made signals (e.g., traffic lights and tornado sirens) and animal-evolved signals (e.g., color patterns and vocalizations). The book also considers some coding principles for reducing certain unwanted redundancies and explains how desirable redundancies enhance communication reliability.
Jack Hailman believes this work pioneers several aspects of analyzing human and animal communication. The book is the first to survey man-made signals as a class. It is also the first to compare such human-devised systems with signaling in animals by showing the highly similar ways in which the two encode information. A third innovation is generalizing principles of quantitative information theory to apply to a broad range of signaling systems. Finally, another first is distinguishing among types of redundancy and their separation into unwanted and desirable categories.
This remarkably novel book will be of interest to a wide readership. Appealing not only to specialists in semiotics, animal behavior, psychology, and allied fields but also to general readers, it serves as an introduction to animal signaling and to an important class of human communication.

Subject: [PS] Bonobo conservation
Message-ID: <200806182056.m5IKu2r4021597@us12.unix.fas.harvard.edu>
Re: bonobo conservation in the DRC (see previous discussion at the bottom of
this message)
Dear All,
Following a number of open letter exchanges on mailing lists regarding
bonobo conservation and the work of the Bonobo Conservation Initiative in
the Democratic Republic of Congo, I'd like to offer some personal
observations on this topic.
I am a graduate student at the Department of Anthropology, Harvard
University, USA and in the course of my early training in field research on
ape behavioural ecology I made two trips to one of the sites in the DRC
where BCI has been active - Kokolopori. This is an area that is in the
final stages of being established as a community-based reserve. While I
understand that the issues raised in some of the letters to Sally Coxe
(president of BCI) primarily concern BCI's work on the establishment of the
Sankuru Reserve, where I have not been nor do I have any first-hand
knowledge of the relationship of the BCI with the local community or the
relevant government authorities, I would like to give an outsider's
perspective on the work of BCI as I have seen it at Kokolopori. I do not
wish to question the arguments put forth by the members of the Bonobo round
table discussion, some of whom I know personally and have great respect for
their contribution to both primatological research and to conservation. What
I would like this email to achieve is to remind all parties involved that
what this should be about is bonobos and their continued existence in a
gravely impoverished country whose people cannot afford the luxury to make
wildlife conservation a priority. The challenges of making a change in
people's perspectives in the DRC are monumental enough, without having the
complication of different organisations interested in protecting the forests
and animals of that country working in disagreement with one another. Not
only is this counterproductive for conservation action on the ground but it
also damages the idealistic image that people outside the wildlife
conservation community like to have of non-profit NGOs aiming to solve many
of the world's problems.
Altogether I have spent about 7 months at Kokolopori during two trips in
2006 and 2007. While my work was focused on behavioural observations of one
of the bonobo communities that are monitored by local trackers, I couldn't
help but get a sense of how this conservation project functions within the
resident human community. There are several points I would like to
emphasize:
(1) The lengths to which the BCI are going to include Congolese personnel
at all levels of their organisation are considerable. Both the Kinshasa and
the Mbandaka office of BCI are entirely staffed with Congolese nationals,
who are being offered ample opportunities for professional development and
participation in strategic decision-making, concerning the work of the BCI.
(2) The relationship of the BCI with the Kokolopori community is heavily
reliant upon the understanding of the population of how any proposed
conservation measures will affect their livelihoods. Large-scale meetings
are held between senior BCI personnel and the local community to discuss
important decisions on a regular basis (when either Sally Coxe or Michael
Hurley travel to Koko).
(3) At Kokolopori, BCI works closely with a local NGO, Vie Sauvage, with
which the local community strongly identifies and is indeed proud of. There
is a strong feeling of involvement in a significant part of the Kokolopori
population, and although there is some angst about distribution of benefits,
the developments associated with the work of the BCI in this remote area are
appreciated by the great majority of people. To give a few examples of how
BCI supports their partners in conservation: at Koko there is now a clinic
with meds and qualified nurses/ doctors that is accessible to all people in
the area; a great number of trackers are employed to monitor bonobo groups
in the forest; other people are employed within the villages to work on
various maintenance projects or to help manage the activities of the local
NGO. In fact, BCI through Vie Sauvage has become the single and quite
significant employer in the entire Kokolopori area.
(4) From the perspective of someone whose memories of high school and
college are still very vivid, I was particularly impressed by the commitment
of BCI to assist the residents of Kokolopori in the educational needs of
their children at local primary and secondary schools. Farther afield from
Koko, in the regional centre of Djolu, BCI has established a regional
technical college. During my short research trips to Kokolopori I have
myself had the pleasure of offering a training placements followed by
employment to three of the more advanced students from that college. The
interest and motivation with which they approached their tasks during our
work together made me optimistic about the potential of community-based
conservation.
(5) Finally, the mere presence of BCI and their visitors in the Kokolopori
area has an important impact on the sense of pride and responsibility of the
local human population. If it wasn't for the BCI in Kokolopori, and other
conservation and research teams in various parts of the DRC, much less
people out there in the forests would care about bonobos. It often takes an
outsider to make us appreciate what we have before it's gone. And it is the
continued involvement of NGOs such as BCI in the field that boosts local
support for wildlife conservation.
>From my brief experience in Kokolopori and also of travelling through other
areas along the Maringa River where no international or local conservation
NGOs are present, I can say that this model of community engagement and
community-based reserve management can go a long way in changing the
mentality of people. It is this same model, I believe, that the BCI seeks
to replicate in Sankuru as well as other communities already active in the
Bonobo Peace Forest network.
I will not comment too much on the commitment of the BCI to bonobo welfare
in the wild itself, except to say that they have established locally-based
protection for bonobos at a number of sites. It is obvious that anyone
willing to dedicate their life to running an NGO, reaching out to some of
the more remote communities on the planet and being prepared to endure all
the difficulties, associated with work in the DRC - both logistical, and no
less - social, must feel very passionate about making a difference. This is
certainly the case with Sally Coxe and Michael Hurley of BCI and I know it
for a fact to be the case for anyone working in conservation and ape
research in the Congo and elsewhere. The determination of the BCI to make
things happen and not to give up, even when faced with emotionally charged
setbacks in tricky field situations is something that will always be an
inspiration to me. My only hope is that all the different NGOs and
individuals involved begin to see the motivation and passion they definitely
do share as something that can grow more powerful if united and that they
work to overcome past misunderstandings. Any differences should rapidly
fade out when the main issue at hand is the focus - the survival of bonobos
in their natural habitat.
Sincerely,
Alexander Georgiev

Subject: Re: Creating new "Protected Areas" in the Democratic Republic of
Congo
To all concerned:
The issue of information sharing and overall coordination among the various
individuals and groups involved in bonobo conservation in the DRC has long
been a systemic problem. For the past decade, the Bonobo Conservation
Initiative (BCI) has consistently advocated for an objective, professionally
facilitated workshop and the establishment of a collaborative mechanism for
developing a unified strategy for bonobo conservation. The recent ad hoc
roundtable discussion in Kinshasa made all too clear the need for a well
organized, inclusive and constructive forum that would allow all parties
involved with bonobo conservation to share their ideas and information in a
mutually respectful and productive fashion. Only such an inclusive forum
can lead to tangible results for the protection of bonobos and their
habitat. We would be happy to assist any efforts to that end. Bonobos and
the people who inhabit the DRC forest deserve no less.
We are encouraged by the creation of the A.P.E.S. Database, and look forward
to contributing to it. This seems to be an appropriate mechanism in which
bonobo survey data can be shared constructively. Many thanks to the Max
Planck Institute and the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group for constructing
this database and making it available to all of us.
Since 2002, BCI and our partners have discovered or verified bonobo presence
in 12 regions/ sites and corridor areas, and have conducted surveys (some
preliminary and some more extensive) using standard methods of line
transects and recces, which we coordinated some years ago with WCS and WWF
to ensure that data are comparable across sites. As a result of these
surveys, as well as Information Exchange (IE) and partnerships with local
communities, BCI and our partners have initiated the creation of a linked
network of community-based reserves in strategic areas of the habitat, known
as the Bonobo Peace Forest. The concept for the Bonobo Peace Forest was
developed in 2002 through a feasibility study and stakeholder consultations,
from the grassroots up to the national government, including DRC President
Joseph Kabila himself, who has embraced and supported the idea from the
outset. This process of surveys, IE and local partnerships is what led to
the creation of the Sankuru Nature Reserve. We initiated our work at
Sankuru in 2005 (as announced at the September 2005 GRASP conference in
Kinshasa), working in partnership with the Congolese NGO, ACOPRIK, which has
been active in the area since 2001.
BCI is currently supporting more than 70 local trackers/eco-guards who
monitor bonobos, other species and biodiversity indicators on a daily basis
at 10 important bonobo sites. All of our survey reports have been submitted
to the appropriate authorities in the DRC, donor agencies, or partners
(including AWF, WWF and CI, for example) or are in the process of being
analyzed or prepared for publication. Contrary to what the message sent by
the "Bonobo Working Group" on May 7 seems to imply, sharing of data and
coordination regarding conservation programs has not been the norm with
those involved and has been lacking across the board. BCI shared as much if
not more information than other parties in the form of maps and site
overviews prior to and after the roundtable discussion in Kinshasa.
Although it was submitted, our site information was not included in the
meeting report titled "Bonobo Roundtable Meetings: March 12 and 15, 2008,"
that was circulated on April 15, 2008.
Unfortunately, a recent spate of publicly disseminated email and listserv
communications, including the Roundtable report of April 15, have presented
a series of false and misleading statements about BCI; misrepresentations
that we take very seriously. We will address the distortions and falsehoods
in a separate message, to follow in the next several days. We reserve the
right to take further action in accord with legal advice as seems necessary
and appropriate to protect the reputation of BCI, our donors, and our
partners who depend on us.
BCI's goal remains the protection of bonobos and their habitat, in
partnership with the local people that share the habitat. To that end, we
continue to welcome and seek cooperation with other like-minded individuals
and organizations.
BCI has provided numerous opportunities for our Congolese colleagues to
attend international conferences and fora and to liaise with international
scientists and conservationists, both within and outside the DRC. Through
support from BCI and CI, three of our Congolese partners (Mbangi Mulavwa of
CREF, Albert Lotana Lokasola of Vie Sauvage and Andre Tusumba of ACOPRIK)
will present their work at the upcoming International Primatological Society
meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland, this August.
BCI is fully in agreement with the need to share information in a
constructive and inclusive context. This is essential for effective bonobo
conservation. We remain hopeful that those of us engaged in protecting
bonobos and their habitat can work in honest collaboration to achieve our
common goal.
P.S.: In the interest of better communication, collaboration, and
transparency, it would be appropriate for the originator of the "bonobo
working group" email to provide a list of all to whom that email was sent,
including those to whom it was blind copied, as well as forwarded.

Dear Sally,
We have made repeated requests to you for information concerning the
scientific basis for the many new "linked-Reserves" you are supporting
within DR Congo forest in the range of the endemic bonobo. We have
requested information about your collaboration with affected communities on
the ground in the designation of limits of your Reserves. You have refused
to give us any information or repeatedly ignored our requests.
This is alarming as the requests come from your colleagues. We are making
ourselves known in the list below.
We repeat very briefly here why we request this transparency. Forest
conservation is not only critical but it is essential that the areas of
highest importance to biodiversity and conservation of endemic species be
protected. These areas must be delimited in such a way that they are
indeed protectable.
Areas of high biodiversity value are found through survey work that, Sally,
you say BCI has done for the Sankuru Reserve and other Reserves you support,
but you have not shared your results. Your colleagues have shared their
information and are asking for the complement of information you say exists.
Why is it unavailable? This is alarming because based on the evidence of
others, the reserves you support are either mis-located or occur in areas
where local communities have made other conservation commitments.
Your Congolese colleagues suffer as a result and have expressed a desire for
greater integration with other scientists and conservationists. Sharing of
information is critical to working together. This came out clearly at the
bonobo meetings in Kinshasa (12 and15 March; minutes available on request).
Sharing of information is also critical to good and successful forest
conservation.

About The APV
The Association of Primate Veterinarians (APV) is an international organization consisting of over 400 veterinarians concerned with the health, care and welfare of nonhuman primates (NHPs). APV was informally initiated in 1973 by a key group of attendees at the Workshop in the Clinical Care of Nonhuman Primates, March 7-8, 1973 (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland). The organization became more formally recognized, as the Association of Primate Veterinary Clinicians, when bylaws were established at the Annual Workshop in 1979. In 1983, the organization's name was changed to the Association of Primate Veterinarians. Our current membership consists of veterinarians who work with, provide and oversee care for a wide variety of NHP species in a broad range of settings. These settings include research facilities in major universities including the National Primate Research Centers, industry, and zoos as well as breeders and importers of primates for research. Our objectives are to promote the dissemination of information relating to the health, care and welfare of nonhuman primates; to provide a mechanism by which primate veterinarians may speak collectively on matters regarding nonhuman primates; and to promote fellowship among primate veterinarians.
About the Annual APV Workshop
The Annual APV workshop is held prior to the national AALAS convention and is held either close to or in the hosting city. The purpose of the workshop is to present new ideas, clinical cases, facility changes that the veterinary membership has seen in the field. The formal seminar and informal social activities at the workshop provided a means to network with other primate veterinarians and share ideas.

Subject: [PS] [PEF] April Laboratory Primate Newsletter
Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20080622150252.025239a0@email.brown.edu>
Dear Friends, June 22, 2008
The electronic edition of Volume 47, number 3, of the
_Laboratory_Primate_Newsletter_ will be sent in a few days to
subscribers by list-server. The Web edition should be ready at about
the same time. The Web edition contains a PDF version, which can be
printed out to resemble nearly exactly the old paper edition, which
is no longer being printed regularly.
We expect to hand-bind a very few copies to be sent to those
scientists, scholars, and support staff who work with nonhuman
primates AND WHO ARE UNABLE TO READ THE E-MAIL EDITION OR THE WORLD
WIDE WEB EDITION. Those who _can_ get the electronic editions, but
prefer to read paper, may print the pdf version from the Web.
We will no longer accept subscriptions, unless you are willing to pay
$100/year. We will continue to send free copies to those who really
have no computer access or ability to pay.
Everyone is encouraged to read us on the World Wide Web...the URL for
the Web edition is http://www.brown.edu/primate .
You can subscribe to LPN-WARN, which sends a note as soon as the new
issue is available on the Web. Send the message
subscribe LPN-WARN Your Name
to
We also send out an e-mail edition, which is plain text -- that is,
no pictures, and no bold or italic text. I cannot understand why
anyone would prefer this to the Web, and would be happy if nobody
wanted it anymore. It was a big step forward when it was new, before
the Web came and changed everything.
Now, preparing the plain text is just another hurdle for me. I am
thinking seriously about discontinuing it, and insisting that
everyone can either get the Web, or I will mail them a "plain text"
copy of the HTML version, which you can read on your computer screen,
or print out. Doesn't that sound like a good alternative? You get
italics, boldface, and nice tables (which the plain text doesn't
contain), no pictures (just like the plain text).
But -- if you insist, you can subscribe to the e-mail edition, by
sending the message
subscribe LPN-L Your Name
to listserv@listserv.brown.edu
(And you can unsubscribe by sending the message
unsubscribe LPN-L
to the same address.)
AND, you can, if you REALLY want to clog your mailbox, have us send
the PDF file to you by mail, rather than downloading it yourself from
the Web. That's no extra work for us. Just send the message
subscribe LPN-PDF Your Name
to listserv@listserv.brown.edu
If you are an e-subscriber, and your address has changed, please
either change your address at the Listserver, if you know how, or
send us the change and we'll do it for you. Otherwise, you will be
removed from the list with no notice.
If you REALLY AND TRULY cannot access an electronic edition, send
your story to us at
LPN, Box 1853, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912
with a statement about the work that you do with nonhuman primates.
If you CAN afford to pay the new price, send cash or a check or money
order in U.S. dollars (made out to Psychology Department, Brown University) to:
LPN, Box 1853, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, U.S.A.
-- but please don't ask to buy a subscription if you could do your
own printing.
The most recent ninety-eight issues of the _Newsletter_ are
available on the World Wide Web, at
http://www.brown.edu/primate
Volume 47, number 3 should be there by Monday.
We are thinking about adding more back issues to the Web site, in PDF
format only. Any comments?
The Table of Contents for Volume 47, number 3 follows. The
numbers are page numbers in the print (pdf) edition.

Subject: [PS] Gorillas: Dry, cracking skin/lips
Message-ID: <014001c8d91b$dd984f30$0f00a8c0@Jane4600>
Apologies for multiple postings, but I'm hoping to get a variety of
advice/answers/input.
Oliver, (19 year old male gorilla) has had a history of skin issues - I
remember seeing him in 1997 in Memphis, and he had dry patches and his hair
was dull, etc.
He's been at Gorilla Haven just over 2 years now, and in that time we've
been addressing hair-plucking issues from the stress of being singly housed
(reduced, since his introduction to 2 pygmy goats, who now share his outside
habitat with him full time, etc), adding flaxseed oil, vitamin E, Alpha
Boost, etc. to his diet, adding a humidifier to his indoor area, etc.
His hair now is shiny, etc, and the plucking has reduced/stopped and he
looks gorgeous, if I may say so.
But he now has a dry cracked upper lip area ... he had it during the winter
and we attributed it to the cold weather and dry heat, but he has it again
now, during spring/summer weather, with rain and plenty of humidity. Nothing
in his diet has changed either.
A video clip of Oliver eating an apple (on the GH website
www.gorilla-haven.org), taken the first week this month, shows no dryness or
cracking by the upper lip area, so this is a relatively new issue.
I'll try to take a photo of the cracked skin above his lips, but one large
crack runs from between his nostrils to his upper lip, and it seems worse
this time, than during the winter. We added lysine (for cold sores) during
the winter and could restart that this time, but I don't think it's a cold
sore (Joe, the other silverback at GH, gets coldsores and lysine helps get
rid of them).
The main crack itself is clean (ie: nothing oozing from it) and dry and I
haven't seen Oliver pick at or notice it.
The rest of this skin/hair look great. Any ideas why this is happening or
how we can address it would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks, Rachel .... and others ...
We have some A&D ointment and I'll see if we can get Oliver to let us apply it without him eating or wiping it off before it can do some good! Another suggestion was neosporin, but since whatever we do might be ingested, we obviously need/want to be careful.
One email suggested it could be caused by a bacteria ...??
Thanks for the replies so far - keep 'em coming! ;-)

Hey Jane,
At DAK both Zawadi and Spike have had recurrent issues with dry skin.
One of the things we have found that works wonderfully is A and D
ointment. We apply it to the area with a Q-tip and usually see
improvement within 24 hours. Hope this helps.

Animal Intelligence: From Individual to Social Cognition
Zhanna Reznikova
ABOUT THE BOOK
>From ants to whales, the lives of animals are filled with challenges that demand minute-by-minute decisions: to fight or flee, dominate or obey, take-off, share, eat, spit out or court. Learning develops adaptive tuning to a changeable environment, while intelligence helps animals use their learned experiences in new situations. Using examples from field to laboratory, Animal Intelligence pools resources from ethology, behavioral ecology and comparative psychology to help the reader enter the world of wild intelligence through the analysis of adventures, of ideas and methods, rather than through theoretic modelling. It reminds us that there is a world of intellectual biodiversity out there, providing a multi-faceted panorama of animal intelligence.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Zhanna Reznikova is Head of the Department of Comparative Psychology at the Novosibirsk State University, and Head of the Laboratory of Community Ethology at the Institute for Animal Systematics & Ecology, Siberia. She is a researcher and professor in the fields of ethology, behavioral ecology, and the behavior and ecology of social insects.

The discovery of evolution, 2nd ed.
David Young
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Discovery of Evolution explains what the theory of evolution is all about by providing a historical narrative of discovery. Some of the major puzzles that confront anyone studying living things are discussed and it details how these were solved from an evolutionary perspective. Beginning with the emergence of the early naturalists in the seventeenth century, the scientific discoveries that led up to and then flowed from Darwin and Wallace's theory of evolution by natural selection are then discussed, and finally the modern evolutionary studies at the close of the twentieth century are detailed. This new edition of The Discovery of Evolution is fully updated and contains a new chapter on the evolutionary studies of the twentieth century. By approaching the topic of evolution in this way, it is made accessible to the non-specialist and no previous study of biology is required in order to read and understand this book.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
David Young is Associate Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
