What's the difference between catarrhine and catarrhinian?
Catarrhine
Definition:
(n.) One of the Catarrhina, a division of Quadrumana, including the Old World monkeys and apes which have the nostrils close together and turned downward. See Monkey.
Example Sentences:
(1) The functional and phyletic significance of this material reveals a complex pattern of behavioral and phyletic diversity among large-bodied catarrhines in Europe and suggests that this diversity evolved in situ from circum-Mediterranean middle Miocene ancestors.
(2) The inactivation of the alpha 1,3GT gene in ancestral catarrhines was probably the result of an intensive evolutionary pressure for alteration in the makeup of cell surface carbohydrates (i.e., suppression of alpha-galactosyl epitope expression) and for the production of the anti-Gal antibody.
(3) N. coucang is found to have multiple NOR-bearing chromosomes in contrast to the single pair found in galagine and catarrhine monkeys.
(4) The site-by-site parsimony analysis was also used to determine the 3' boundary of each catarrhine species-specific conversion.
(5) The degree of divergence for both synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions among the alpha globin genes are generally smaller for intraspecies than interspecies comparisons, which is indicative of concerted evolution between the paired alpha globin genes of each catarrhine species.
(6) During the later Palaeocene and early Miocene, catarrhine primates and the evolving hominoids had adaptations for frugivorous diets, with the emphasis on soft foods.
(7) The alpha globin gene locus of the common gibbon (Hylobates lar) was isolated, and it contains two closely linked alpha globin genes that share the same arrangement as that found for the homologous genes of other catarrhine primates.
(8) We now extend our analysis to the catarrhine superfamily Cercopithecoidea by obtaining the nucleotide sequence of the paired gamma 1- and gamma 2-genes of rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).
(9) The GI in catarrhines is correlated with total sulcal length but not number of sulci.
(10) Previous studies have indicated that the two gamma-gene loci in catarrhine primates resulted from a duplication about 25-35 million years ago.
(11) Most importantly, the data indicate that the supraorbital region of nonhuman catarrhines is strained very little during mastication and incision.
(12) This paper presents a detailed systematic revision of the small catarrhine primates from the early Miocene of East Africa, recovered from sites in Western Kenya and in Uganda dated at between 22 and 17 m.y.
(13) Previous comparisons have documented in the recently duplicated gamma-fetal globin genes of catarrhine primates, over 15 separate conversions affecting extensive stretches of coding and noncoding sequences.
(14) Furthermore, the transition rate in catarrhines, except the gibbon, is higher than those in the tarsier and in platyrrhines, and the transition rate in the gibbon is lower than those in other catarrhines.
(15) The catarrhines, which include Old World monkeys, apes, and humans, lack this enzyme activity because of the inactivation of the alpha 1,3GT gene.
(16) The remaining 3'-untranslated region and flanking DNAs show no evidence of involvement in any recent conversion event as the parsimony analysis of these sequences group all the alpha 1 globin genes of the different catarrhine species into one clade and all the alpha 2 globin gene of these species into a separate clade.
(17) An Alu SINE (short interspersed element), found 3 kb downstream of the poly(A) addition site, arose less than 40 MYA subsequent to the divergence of platyrrhinies (New World monkeys) from catarrhines (humans, apes, and Old World monkeys).
(18) As in menstruating catarrhine primates, the endometrium of M. ater is vascularized by spiral arterioles and populated by distinctive granulocytes containing large, acidophilic granules.
(19) Oligocene catarrhine molars have increased crushing-grinding capacities and maintained but modify their shearing.
(20) Unlike the incisors of other groups, platyrrhines or catarrhines, for example, the apical extremities in the primitive condition are not closer to one another than the basal portions of these teeth.
