What's the difference between catarrhine and primate?
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.

(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.
Primate
Definition:
(a.) The chief ecclesiastic in a national church; one who presides over other bishops in a province; an archbishop.
(a.) One of the Primates.
Example Sentences:
(1) The present results provide no evidence for a clear morphological substrate for electrotonic transmission in the somatic efferent portion of the primate oculomotor nucleus.
(2) The p30 proteins of murine viruses also contain a second discrete set of antigenic determinants related to those in infectious primate viruses and endogenous porcine viruses, but not detected in the feline leukemia virus group.
(3) These results demonstrate that the renal nerves play an important role in the nonhuman primate in mediating increases in renal excretion during hypervolemia.
(4) These are much older than all other Fayum, Oligocene primates and are believed to be Eocene in age.
(5) Animals were chronically implanted with epidural or deep recording electrodes and a cannula in one lateral ventricle, and tested whilst seated in a primate chair.
(6) Evaluation of the roles of prolactin and placental lactogen in pregnancy in primates has revealed mammotropic, fetal osmoregulatory, metabolic, and steroidogenic roles, which appear to protect the uterine contents during late pregnancy and prepare the fetus for the changes in nutrition at the time of delivery.
(7) SR 42128 is a potent and long-acting tool for studying the role of the renin angiotensin system in primates and humans.
(8) An analysis of 54 protein sequences from humans and rodents (mice or rats), with the chicken as an outgroup, indicates that, from the common ancestor of primates and rodents, 35 of the proteins have evolved faster in the lineage to mouse or rat (rodent lineage) whereas only 12 proteins have evolved faster in the lineage to humans (human lineage).
(9) Four human and two nonhuman primate cell lines were studied to determine their growth characteristics in soft agar, and for invasive characteristics in a muscle organ culture assay system.
(10) Historically, research into the regulation of gene expression in primate lentiviruses has focused on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the primary cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in humans.
(11) This approximately 40-Myr-old specimen is the first fossil primate found in Burma since the fragmentary remains of the controversial earliest anthropoids Pondaungia cotteri Pilgrim and Amphipithecus mogaungensis Colbert were recovered more than 50 yr ago.
(12) It is believed that by looking at such subtle shape differences an understanding of what it means morphologically for a primate to be either more or less arboreal may be achieved.
(13) Our studies investigated whether social companionship, as a potentially positive psychological intervention, would increase lymphocyte proliferation and natural killer cell activity in the aged nonhuman primate.
(14) The results found with individual chromosomes in the different species also appear relevant, in the light of the evolutionary relationships between these nonhuman primates and man.
(15) In this experiment, 64 crown preparations were made in four primates.
