Anthropology 110 Lesson #12 Quiz #6 Post date: Friday, February 23 rd . Due Monday, February 26 th . 1 .__T_ The prosimians, taxonomically, belong to one of the two suborders that divide up the primates. However, placing the Tarsier in either group has proved problematic. True, page 118 2._T__ Vertical clinging is a type of posture and locomotion that characterizes many prosimian species and describes how they move by leaping in their arboreal habitats. True, page 118 3._F__The narrator of the assigned video, Life in the Trees, is British naturalist, David Pilbeam. false, it is narrated by David Attenborough. 4._F__ Unlike the members of the galago group, most lorises move slowly and stealthily. They also have larger ears than the galagoes and their hindlimbs are longer in length than their forelimbs. False page 123, they have smaller ears also their hindlimbs and forelimbs are in equal length 5._T__Tarsiers exhibit different patterns of social organization, varying from that of single foragers to multi-male, multi-female troops. True, page 125 6._T__The haplorrhine primates consist taxonomically of the anthropoids and the tarsiers and can as a group be distinguished from strepsirrhine primates by several anatomical characteristics including the partially enclosed posterior wall of the eye socket. True, page 124 7._T__The New-World monkeys belong to the infraorder taxon, called the platyrrhines. This name was derived from the broad, flat shape of their noses and the wide septum. True, page 124 8._F__ New-World monkeys have evolved in South and Central America in absence of any other competing prosimians or apes. false page 125-136, the book says South American. Yucatan, Mexico isn’t considered Central America

9._T__ The prehensile tail which is characteristic of the ateline monkeys is a unique adaptation of this South American subfamily. True, page 128 10._T__Marmosets and tamarins show little sexual dimorphism in body size and have one less molar tooth than other South American species do in their dental formula. True, page 126 11._T__The typical dental formula of most New-World monkeys is 2.1.3.3. This formula includes one additional premolar tooth than is found in all Old-World anthropoid species. True, page 126 12._T__ The owl monkeys as a group consist of at least 8 species all of which are mostly active at night (nocturnal) and are the only anthropoids that lack color vision. True, page 128 13._F__Canine teeth in all anthropoids (Catarrhines, except humans) are usually sexually dimorphic. The function of large projecting canines is in their use in social display and in threat and aggressive interactions. True, page 130 (the book says cercopithecoids and they are apart of the anthropoids) 14._T__ Sympatric species are those whose home ranges overlap but avoid competition by utilizing their ecosystems differently, primarily by using different feeding strategies within the ecosystem. True, page 133 15.___Colobines, unlike the cercopithecines, have elongated forelimbs that enable them to leap quite long distances in the trees. False page 134, they have elongated hindlimbs not forelimbs 16._F__Asian cercopithecines have elongated noses and, because of this have been called the “odd-nosed” monkeys. False page 135, Colobines or the proboscis monkey of Borneo 17._T__Terrestrial locomotion in the African “Great” apes has been described using the term “knuckle walking.” True, page 141
