What is the difference between a folivore and frugivore b) Describe two differences between Haplorhines and Strepsirrhines Name and describe two of the major threats that nonhuman primates face. a. Are Old World Monkeys Platyrrhines or Catarrhines? a) Name two different features that distinguish apes from other primates c). Give one example of loot-making in apes If you were looking at two skulls and you knew that one was a platyrrhine and one was a catarrhine, how could you tell them apart? In other words, what anatomical feature(s) would you use to identify them? a. Describe the mating systems of two different species of living apes. b. What physical characteristics can tell us about a primate species mating system?

Solution

Answer 5 (a)

Answer 5(b)

Answer 6 Two major threats that are faced by non- human primates :

(a) Habitat loss- mining, agricultural practices, clearing of forests for housing facilities are all destroying natural habitats for non- human primates which is making them more vulnerable.

(b) Hunting, anthropogenic activities also making them vulnerable

Answer 7 (a) Catarrhines are old world monkeys whereas, platyrhines are new world monkeys.

(b) features that differentiates apes from other primates are: they can freely move shoulder(more than any primate) and their ball and socket joints, wrists help in their locomotion on trees(arboreal) they can balance hemselves without tail(like human)

(c) apes use stones to break nutshells. sticking ants/termites in sticks by chimpanzee are some examples

Answer 8 in catarrhines, the frontal bone makes contact with sphenoid bone and separates the zygomatic bone anteriorly from the parietal bone posteriorly. whereas, in platyrhines, the zygomatic bones does not articulate with paritel bone.

Characteristics	folivores	frugivores
food	mostly foliage(leaves,roots)	fruits
teeth	medium incisors and cnines	large incisors, canines(due to dimorphism)
body size	large	medium to large
