Crab monkeys although they are the most common animal for lab research‚ tend to be aggressive. In the wild "the crab eating monkeys live in multi-male groups that include about thrity monkeys. Males of one group may emigrate to another group for mating purposes‚ thus allowing more variations in the gene pool. In this transition the male may replace a higher-ranking male that belongs to that group. This transition is highly aggressive and the adults are usually injuired. During this transition other

PRACTICAL 6: OSMOREGULATION AND EXCRETION Introduction Many animals need to control the water content of their body because the concentration of their body fluids is different to that of their environment. The process by which the amount of water and concentration of soluble ions in the body are regulated is called osmoregulation. In most cases the organs which are responsible for osmoregulation are also involved in the excretion of metabolic waste products. In this practical you will

After a holding period of 18 hours for winter captured crabs and a period of 30 hours for summer captured crabs‚ all individuals were transferred to containers with experimental temperature and salinity levels to begin the experiment. To observe changes due to salinity concentrations over the 48-hour period‚ groups of crabs were exposed to one of the eight salinity treatments‚ and temperature treatments were held constant at 5°C or 15°C
