Proposal for Anthropoid Primate Growth Data Collection from the London Zoo

首席研究员将前往伦敦一周，复印伦敦动物园灵长类动物的临床生长记录，该动物园即将关闭。这些记录很可能在那时无法使用或丢失。提议者将把这些记录转移到他们的灵长类动物生长数据库中，并在他们继续研究不同灵长类动物性别二态性发展的框架内对它们进行分析。这是一个及时而重要的项目。两性二态性再次成为进化研究中一个有趣的话题，它与不同的交配策略或不同的饮食有关。同样清楚的是，两性二态性的发展（其生长期间的时间等）是一个重要的动态，但尚未得到充分的解决，其中最经常关注的是成年动物。

The Principal Investigator will travel to London for a week to xerox the clinical growth records of the primates at the London Zoo, which is closing. The records may well become unavailable or lost at that time. The proposers will to transfer the records to their primate growth data base and to analyze them within the framework of their continuing study of the development of sexual dimorphism in different primate species. This is a timely and important project. Sexual dimorphism is once again an interesting topic in evolutionary studies, and it is being tied to different mating strategies or alternatively, different diets. It is also clear that the development of sexual dimorphism (its timing during growth, etc.) is an important dynamic that has not been adequately addressed, where most often the focus has been on adult animals.
