A nonparametric test of market timing
by: samanta, 27 pagesIn this paper, we proposea nonparametric test for market timing ability and apply the analysis to a large sample of mutual funds that have different benchmark indices. The test statistic is formed to ...
BULLWHIP EFFECT AND SUPPLY CHAIN MODELLING AND ANALYSIS USING CPN TOOLS
by: samanta, 16 pagesThe paper presents some of the results obtained by studying Petri nets' capability for modeling and analysis of Supply Chain performances. It is well known that the absence of coordination in Supply ...

by: M, 11 pagesThe 957-ha forest at the Estação Biológica de Caratinga/Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural-Felìciano Miguel Abdala, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, supports one of the largest ...
Variation in the Resumption of Cycling and Conception by Fecal Androgen and Estradiol Levels in Female Northern Muriquis (Brachyteles hypoxanthus)
by: M, 13 pagesWe measured fecal androgen (T+DHT) and estradiol (E2) levels in female northern muriquis (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) at the Estação Biológica de Caratinga/RPPN Feliciano Miguel Abdala, ...
Spider monkey, Muriqui and Woolly monkey relationships revisited
by: M, 9 pagesThe taxonomic relationships among the four genera of the Atelidae family, Alouatta (Howler), Ateles (Spider), Lagothrix (Woolly) and Brachyteles (Muriqui), have been the subject of great debate. In ...
Socio-Sexual Behavior of Female Northern Muriquis (Brachyteles hypoxanthus)
by: M, 11 pagesFemale northern muriquis (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) are known to engage in frequent copulations with multiple partners, a pattern that in other primates has been attributed to various functions such ...

Polymorphism of visual pigment genes in the muriqui (Primates, Atelidae)
by: M, 8 pagesColour vision varies within the family Atelidae (Primates, Platyrrhini), which consists of four genera with the following cladistic relationship: {Alouatta [Ateles (Lagothrix and Brachyteles)]}. ...
Noninvasive genetic sampling of endangered muriqui (Primates, Atelidae): Efficiency of fecal DNA extraction
by: M, 5 pagesThe muriqui (Brachyteles) is one of the most endangered primates in the world, however little is known about the viability of the remaining populations. We evaluated the technique of extracting DNA ...
Mother–Offspring Associations in Northern Muriquis, Brachyteles hypoxanthus
by: M, 5 pagesMaternal care of offspring is ubiquitous among primates, but its duration varies across species due to factors such as dispersal patterns and social dynamics, which influence opportunities for and ...
Human Dimensions of Northern Muriqui Conservation Efforts
by: M, 10 pagesThe northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) is endemic to Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, and it ranks among the most critically endangered primates in the world. Roughly 25% of the species is ...
Ground Use by Northern Muriquis (Brachyteles hypoxanthus)
by: M, 7 pagesMany arboreal primates descend to the ground, a custom that may occur more frequently in disturbed habitats, and in the presence of researchers to whom the primates are habituated. In this paper, we ...
Genetic structure in two northern muriqui populations (Brachyteles hypoxanthus, Primates, Atelidae) as inferred from fecal DNA
by: M, 6 pagesWe assessed the genetic diversity of two northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus Primata, Atelidae) populations, the Feliciano Miguel Abdala population (FMA, n = 108) in the Brazilian state of ...
Fruit diet of Alouatta guariba and Brachyteles arachnoides in Southeastern Brazil: comparison of fruit type, color, and seed size
by: M, 8 pagesFruit is an important food resource for neotropical primates. In this study I compare the fruit diet of sympatric brown howlers (Alouatta guariba) and southern muriquis (Brachyteles arachnoides). ...
Estimating minimum area of suitable habitat and viable population size for the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus)
by: M, 14 pagesA population viability analysis (PVA) using the computer package VORTEX was conducted to assess the minimum viable population (MVP) of the Atlantic Forest endemic primate Brachyteles hypoxanthus. The ...
Energetic costs of reproduction in female northern muriquis, Brachyteles hypoxanthus (Primates: Platyrrinhi: Atelidae)
by: M, 7 pagesInfant care is known to impose high energetic costs on female primates because in addition to lactation, most primate mothers also provide transport for their offspring. Many studies have documented ...
Diet of Southern Muriquis in Continuous Brazilian Atlantic Forest
by: M, 13 pagesWe systematically collected data on feeding behavior for one group of 33–39 southern muriquis (Brachyteles arachnoides) in Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho (PECB), São Paulo State, Brazil ...
Comparative Seed Dispersal Effectiveness of Sympatric Alouatta guariba and Brachyteles arachnoides in Southeastern Brazil
by: M, 7 pagesI compared the effectiveness of sympatric brown howlers (Alouatta guariba) and muriquis (Brachyteles arachnoides) as seed dispersers in terms of quantitative and qualitative attributes. I ...
