WHEN TOP-DOWN BECOMES BOTTOM UP: BEHAVIOUR OF HYPERDENSE HOWLER MONKEYS (ALOUATTA SENICULUS) TRAPPED ON A 0.6 HA ISLAND.

When top-down becomes bottom up: behaviour of hyperdense howler monkeys (Alouatta seniculus) trapped on a 0.6 ha island.

Predators are a ubiquitous presence in most natural environments.Opportunities to contrast the behaviour of a species in the presence and absence of predators are thus rare.Here we report on the behaviour of howler monkey groups living under radically different conditions on two land-bridge islands in Lago Guri, Venezuela.One group of 6 adults inha

Effectiveness of 2‐dimensional shear wave elastography for noninvasive and reliable estimation of right atrial pressure in dogs with induced volume overload

Abstract Background Two‐dimensional shear wave elastography (2D‐SWE) provides information on hepatic elastic modulus as shear wave velocity (SWV).Hypothesis/Objectives To assess SWV using 2D‐SWE in dogs with induced volume overload, investigate the relationship between this information and right atrial pressure (RAP) measured by invasive righ
