| genetic diversity affects testicular morphology in free-ranging lions (panthera leo) of the serengeti plains and ngorongoro crater. | reduced genetic variability is known to adversely affect ejaculate quality in inbred lions (panthera leo) physically isolated in the ngorongoro crater compared with outbred lions inhabiting the adjacent serengeti plains in east africa. this study compared the histomorphology of testicular biopsies from these two lion populations. ngorongoro crater lions had fewer (p < 0.05) seminiferous tubules with spermiogenesis and fewer (p < 0.05) spermatids per seminiferous tubular cross-section than sereng ... | 1996 | 8958822 |

| summation of activation: evidence from multiple primes that converge and diverge within semantic memory. | six experiments addressed the combinatorial influence of multiple related primes in naming, lexical decision and relatedness judgment performance. primes either converged on a single semantic representation (e.g., lion-stripes-tiger) or diverged onto distinct semantic representations (e.g., kidney-piano-organ). the facilitatory influence of 2 related primes was well predicted by the sum of the influences from the single-related-prime conditions (a) for both convergent and divergent primes, (b) i ... | 1996 | 8708602 |

| complex cooperative strategies in group-territorial african lions. | female lions (panthera leo) showed persistent individual differences in the extent to which they participated in group-territorial conflict. when intergroup encounters were simulated by playback of aggressive vocalizations, some individuals consistently led the approach to the recorded intruder, whereas others lagged behind and avoided the risks of fighting. the lead females recognized that certain companions were laggards but failed to punish them, which suggests that cooperation is not maintai ... | 1995 | 7652573 |
