The Effects of Interbreeding on the Morphological and Genetic Attributes of Non-human Primates / Beth Christine Laas (3106 words) |
 | The observation of these two species interbreeding led to study of further inter-species breeding in captivity, such as the gibbon and siamang or the baboon and rhesus monkey. |
 | Nagel believed the primary motivation behind the interbreeding was the abduction of anubis females by hamadryas males (Nagel: 1973). |
 | In order to further explore the explanations behind nonhuman primate interbreeding in the wild, it is necessary to evaluate the social behavior of the animals as well as the environmental conditions when it occurs. |

THE RELATIONSHIPS AND EVOLUTION OF THE DENDROICA CORONATA COMPLEX (19361 words) |
 | The analysis of interbreeding between coronata and auduboni is based primarily on six plumage characters of breeding-plumaged males, wing pattern, tail pattern, throat color, auricular color, and the presence or absence of a supraloral spot and postocular line. |
 | Interbreeding in northwestern British Columbia probably occurs in the upper reaches of the valleys o.f the Iskut-Nass and perhaps $keena- $tikine Rivers. |
 | MATERIALS AND METIODS The study of the interbreeding of coronata and audubonl was preceded by an in- vestigation of plumage and mensural variation of the D. coronata complex outside the area of southeastern Alaska, British Columbia, and Alberta (Hubbard, 1967). |
