ANT 103 -Fall 2019-HoltStudy Objectives for Online Quiz 2The following 10 objectives are based on lecture notes since Exam 1, Chapter 6, and week 5 lab. 1. What are the four “trends” that characterize primates? What primate adaptations are associated with each trend?2. Know the primate classification (lab worksheet) and basic characteristics of each group in that classification (Strepsirhines, Haplorhines, Old World monkeys, etc…). You should knowwhich primates make up each category and the example in parenthesis: Strepsirhines (lemurs and lorises), Haplorhines = Tarsier, Old World Monkeys (baboons), New World Monkeys (spider monkeys), Hominoids (gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, humans), and in which geographic area each is found (South America, Africa, Madagascar, Asia). 3. Be familiar with the following terms and concepts: stereoscopic vision/convergent eye orbits,dental formula, post-orbital bar, post-orbital closure, dental (tooth) comb, homodonty, heterodonty, insectivorous, folivorous, frugivorous, omnivorous, tooth cusp, diurnal, nocturnal, prehensile (grasping) hands and feet, neocortex, adaptive radiation. 4. Know the following terms: Homology, homoplasy, derived and ancestral (primitive) traits, phylogeny, clade.5. Be able to classify yourself as discussed in lecture6. What are the “Visual Predation” and “Angiosperm” hypotheses of primate origins? What traits does each emphasize?Objectives from Discussion/Lab7. Understand anatomical differences for classifying different primates including: dental formulas, post-orbital bar, post-orbital closure8. Know the difference between primitive traits and derived traits (e.g. those seen in Strepsirhines vs those seen in Haplorhines, respectively)-See Objective 2 above1ANT 103 -Fall 2019-Holt9. Know what traits belong to the primate suborders, infraorders, and super families. For example, Hominoidea (apes) do not have tails, and only Platyrrhines have prehensile tails, and so on) 10. Know the dental formulas of Strepsirhines, Platyrrhines (New World monkeys), and Catarrhines (Old World monkeys, apes and humans).
