Example Sentences:
(1) Recent research on social enhancement and suppression of ovarian cycles in mammals suggests that a single pheromone-based signal-response system could mediate both ringtailed lemurs' remarkable annual estrous synchrony and the subsidiary asynchrony reported here.
(2) The retinal projections in the ringtailed possum, Pseudocheirus peregrinus were determined using Fink-Heimer material and autoradiography.
(3) Ringtail was only initiated in animals of all ages, from populations originating from different areas of South Africa, when the relative humidity fell below 30%.
(4) is described in the ringtail possum Pseudocheirus peregrinus (Petauridae).
(5) Mean retention times (MRTs) of fluid (marked with Co-EDTA), fine particles (mordanted with Yb) and large particles (mordanted with Cr) were measured in brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula), ringtail possums (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) and laboratory rabbits fed semipurified diets.
(6) Asynchrony of estrus and female mate choice cause current models to explain male membership in primate groups to fail for ringtailed lemurs.
(7) Lysozyme and alpha-lactalbumin from the milk of the common ringtail possum have been purified and partially sequenced.
(8) However, the higher digestibilities of fibre in the rabbits than in the ringtail possums could not be explained on a similar basis.
(9) The presence of an active glucuronic acid pathway and associated glucose-ascorbate-glucose cycle was postulated for the brushtail possum and the other arboreal marsupials, Pseudocheirus peregrinus (common ringtail possum) and Petauroides volans (greater glider).
(10) Data from wild and semifree-ranging groups of ringtailed lemurs (Lemur catta) were combined to evaluate the hypothesis that female ringtailed lemurs exhibit asynchrony of estrus within seasonal synchrony of estrous cycles.
(11) The incidence of ringtail was curtailed by maintaining relative humidity above 45% in animal houses.
(12) Fibre digestibility was greater in the rabbits than in the ringtail possums, and greater for neutral-detergent fibre (including agar) but less for acid-detergent fibre in the rabbits than in the brushtails.
(13) Photoperiodic and probably social entrainments lead all females within social groups of ringtailed lemurs to experience estrus annually within periods of 7 to 20 days.
(14) Wildcaught cinnamon ringtail monkeys, Cebus albifrons, were fed diets with Ca:P ratios of 1:4 1:2.1 1:0,4, and 1:0.5 for 3 to 88 months.
(15) Several types of immunoreactive cells were seen on the intestinal villi and in crypts of these species: 9 types in the koala; 8 types in the common brushtail possum; 7 types in the common wombat; 6 types in the short-nosed bandicoot and 5 types in the ringtailed possum, great grey kangaroo, parma wallaby and tiger cat.
(16) In ringtail possums MRTs of the fluid and fine particle markers were approximately twice that of the large particle marker, indicative of selective retention of both fluid and fine particles in the caecum.
