La herencia de las llamadas estereotipadas del gibón
Nature
|December 13, 1984
Resumen
Las vocalizaciones de Gibbon, o grandes llamadas, en híbridos femeninos no muestran signos de aprendizaje vocal. Estos complejos patrones vocales de los primates parecen estar determinados principalmente por la genética, no por la influencia de los padres.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La comunicación vocal de los primates es una comunicación vocal.
- Comportamiento animal Comportamiento animal.
- Biología evolutiva Biología evolutiva.
Sus antecedentes:
- El aprendizaje vocal en primates no humanos es poco conocido.
- Estudios previos sugieren un aprendizaje vocal limitado en primates en comparación con las aves.
- Los experimentos controlados sobre el desarrollo vocal de los primates son desafiantes.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el desarrollo del patrón vocal en los híbridos de gibón.
- Determinar el papel del aprendizaje vocal frente al control genético en las grandes llamadas del gibón.
- Para analizar las vocalizaciones en grupos de gibones de especies mixtas naturales y cautivas.
Principales métodos:
- Estudió los patrones vocales de los híbridos de gibón de manos blancas (Hylobates lar) y pilado (Hylobates pileatus).
- Se han observado híbridos en grupos naturales de especies mixtas en Tailandia y en entornos cautivos.
- Analizó los estereotipos de 'grandes llamadas' de híbridos femeninos y sus madres.
Principales resultados:
- Las grandes llamadas de los híbridos de gibón hembra no mostraron evidencia de aprendizaje de los padres.
- Los patrones vocales en híbridos femeninos parecían estar bajo un fuerte control genético.
- Las hijas con padres genéticamente diferentes desarrollaron grandes llamadas distintas de sus madres.
Conclusiones:
- Las grandes llamadas de los gibones están probablemente bajo una fuerte influencia genética, con una evidencia mínima de aprendizaje vocal.
- Este hallazgo contribuye a la comprensión de la evolución de la comunicación vocal en los primates.
- Investigaciones adicionales pueden explorar los mecanismos genéticos subyacentes a las vocalizaciones de los primates.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
42.5K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Stereotype Content Model
15.5K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
95.4K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Inheritance of Chromatin Structures
7.6K
Epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in a cell's phenotype without changing the DNA sequences. It provides a form of memory for the differential gene expression pattern to maintain cell lineage, position-effect variegation, dosage compensation, and maintenance of chromatin structures such as telomeres and centromeres. For example, the structure and location of the centromere on chromosomes are epigenetically inherited. Its functionality is not dictated or ensured by the underlying...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
37.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance

In 1866, Gregor Mendel published the results of his pea plant breeding experiments, providing evidence for predictable patterns in the inheritance of physical characteristics. The significance of his findings was not immediately recognized. In fact, the existence of genes was unknown at the time. Mendel referred to hereditary units as “factors.”
