(1) Intervention strategies have arisen from the studies which demonstrates that stress in families caring for a relative with schizophrenia can be reduced, leading to not only a smaller risk of relapse in the relative with the illness, but also an improvement in the carer's own mental health status (Tarrier et al.
Tarsier
Definition:
(n.) See Tarsius.
Example Sentences:

(3) The muscular system of the tarsier was first described by Burmeister (1846), who noted that brachial extensors (triceps complex) have six heads.

(8) The cranium of Oligocene anthropoideans thus provides no support for the hypothesized tarsier-anthropoidean clade.
(9) Comparisons of these sequences with other primate delta and beta sequences confirmed a previously reported conversion in an anthropoid ancestor and revealed additional conversions in basal primate, stem haplorhine, tarsier, and early lemur lineages.
(10) Both unconverted and converted sequences were consistent in supporting the placement of tarsier with anthropoids.
(11) The island's famous resident is the camera-shy tarsier, the world's smallest monkey.
(12) Although there was considerable intraspecific and interspecific variation, mast cells were most numerous within the leptomeninges (especially in those overlying the cerebrum and the dorsal thalamus - most rodents, most carnivores, chimpanzees, squirrel monkeys and elephant), the cerebral cortex (most rodents, tiger, fox, chimpanzee, tarsier, and elephant) and in many nuclei of the dorsal thalamus (most rodents, tiger, lion, and fox).
(13) The proximal head may have developed specially in the tarsier in addition to the distal head observed in other prosimians.
(14) The phylogenetic relationships of living tarsiers and extinct omomyid primates are critical for deciphering the origin and relationships of primate higher taxa, particularly anthropoids.
(15) The molecular data group humans with chimpanzees in subtribe Hominina, with gorillas in tribe Hominini, orangutans in subfamily Homininae, gibbons in family Hominidae, Old World monkeys in infraorder Catarrhini, New World monkeys in semisuborder Anthropoidea, tarsiers in suborder Haplorhini, and strepsirhines (lemuriforms and lorisiforms) in order Primates.
