| In primates, prosimians and Old World monkeys exhibit a moderate level of the enzymatic activity relative to mice and rabbits. |
|
| As in all prosimians, olfactory communication is well developed in sifakas. |
|
| Skin tests in marmosets, tamarins or small prosimians should be performed in the abdominal skin rather than in the eyelid. |
|
| It can be considered to increase from prosimians to marmosets and tamarins, then to other New World monkeys, to Old World monkeys and apes. |
|
| Summary: The lorises of the genus Nycticebus are prosimians, an ancient group of nocturnal primates. |
|
| The assumption written into all evolution textbooks was that the transition to anthropoids was made by animals larger than the prosimians. |
|
| Lastly, the most representative mammals of Madagascar are the lemurs, primitive prosimians which have kept a few insectivore features. |
|
| Primates, generally, are the longest-lived group, although some small prosimians and New World monkeys have relatively short life spans. |
|
| As anatomists can readily see, the heel bones of prosimians are longer than those of anthropoids, giving them leverage for their long leaps. |
|
| Some non-human primates, for example some prosimians, require nesting material, for example wood wool, dry leaves or straw. |
|
| Related to the primitive primates, these prosimians pursued a parallel evolution to the monkeys, favored by the geographic isolation of the island. |
|
| A major focus of recent paleoanthropological research has been to establish the origin of anthropoid primates from earlier and more primitive primates known as prosimians. |
|
| Prosimians are native to Madagascar, but are also found in Africa and Asia. |
|
| Prosimians are distinguished by their immobilized upper lips, the moist tip of their noses and forward-facing lower front teeth. |
