This poster must include at least 4 sources, 2 of which must be peer reviewed journal articles. What is a peer reviewed journal article? Visit this website: https://www.angelo.edu/services/library/handouts/peerrev.php.   (Links to an external site.)Where can you find peer reviewed journal articles?  Google scholar. Additional sources can include books, reputable newspaper sources such as the New York Times, university websites and documentaries like those available in the library. Do not cite wikipedia. Instead, visit the wikipedia page for your primate, look through the citations at the bottom, and visit one of those sources to see if you can use it.

• • This poster must include Harvard style in-text citations, as well as a works cited section. If you run out of space for your works cited section, you may send it to me in a separate document.  For guidance on using Harvard-style citations, look here: https://www.mendeley.com/guides/harvard-citation-guide (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) 
  • For my Primate Poster I am choosing the Golden Snub-nosed monkey.
  • This poster has 5 Required Sections
    1. Taxonomy (6 points): Describe how your chosen primate fits in to the primate family tree. List its closest relatives, and outline which suborder, parvorder, family, genus, and species it belongs to. You must construct your own phylogenetic tree and display it on the poster
    2. Habitat & Ecology (6 points): Where does your primate live? Include both geography and ecology. Describe the type of habitat this primate lives in. Who are this primates primary predators and what threats does it face in terms of human hunting, deforestation, poaching, etc.
    3. Diet (6 points): What foods does this primate rely on for survival and how do they acquire them? What special adaptations do they demonstrate with regard to foraging behavior (tool use, anatomical traits, behavioral traits, etc)
    4. Behavior (7 points): What mating system does this primate have? What type of group does it live in, or is it a solitary primate? Is it nocturnal or diurnal? Choose 2-3 unique behaviors associated with this primate and describe them. For example, do they use tools? Has their communication been studied? Are males especially involved with parenting?
    5. Graphs, photographs, and charts (10 points): Please use 1 graph ( your own or one that you can explain from another source), 1 table (your own), and 3-4 photographs or other diagrams  to visually support your findings. The best posters balance words and images.

 

6. In-text citations and a works cited section (5 points): 

For in-text citations, include (Author, year) at the end of each sentence that involves information from a particular source. To organize your works cited section, use one of these guides: https://www.mendeley.com/guides/harvard-citation-guide
