A total of 54 free-ranging monkeys were captured and marked in Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica, during May 1985, and an additional 17 were captured during March 1986. The animals were darted using a blowpipe or a CO2 gun. The drugs used were Ketaset, Sernylan and Telazol. Ketaset was effective for Cebus capucinus but unsuccessful for Alouatta palliata and Ateles geoffroyi. Sernylan was successful for A. geoffroyi and A. palliata but is no longer commercially available. Telazol proved to be an excellent alternative capture drug for both A. palliata and A. geoffroyi.

One problem with dental microwear analyses of museum material is that investigators can never be sure of the diets of the animals in question. An obvious solution to this problem is to work with live animals. Recent work with laboratory primates has shown that high resolution dental impressions can be obtained from live animals. The purpose of this study was to use similar methods to begin to document rates and patterns of dental microwear for primates in the wild. Thirty-three Alouatta palliata were captured during the wet season at Hacienda La Pacifica near Canas, Costa Rica. Dental impressions were taken and epoxy casts of the teeth were prepared using the methods of Teaford and Oyen (1989a). Scanning electron micrographs were taken of the left mandibular second molars at magnifications of 200x and 500x. Lower magnification images were used to calculate rates of wear, and higher magnification images were used to measure the size and shape of microwear features. Results indicate that, while basic patterns of dental microwear are similar in museum samples and samples of live, wild-trapped animals of the same species, ecological differences between collection locales may lead to significant intraspecific differences in dental microwear. More importantly, rates of microwear provide the first direct evidence of differences in molar use between monkeys and humans.

Proximate and ultimate explanations of interactions between infants and nonmothers vary depending upon the relatedness of the interactors. We investigated interactions of infants and nonmothers from a 22-month continuous study and from the long-term monitoring of the mantled howler population of La Pacifica, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. Relatedness is low or absent in these mantled howler groups. Juvenile females appeared to practice care skills with older infants, but as most first infants died, they failed to benefit. Infant positive interactions with adults occurred with the mother and probable father. Other adult females behaved aggressively toward the youngest infants. Mothers were retentive of infants and responded negatively to these interactions, suggesting that they perceived them as threatening. Interactions with infants appear to reflect competition in groups of unrelated adults. A review of other populations of Alouatta palliata and other species of howlers indicate variability in social group size and suggest variability in intragroup relatedness. We suggest that further study will confirm that social behavior (including interactions with infants) will vary by resource availability (group size) and associated demographic patterns (male and female migration) that affect relatedness in howler social groups.

El presente artículo recopila la experiencia de expertos en la etnomatemática, de un grupo de discusión en RELME 27. Sus cuestionamientos se fundamentan, en la etnomatemática y el impacto de esta en el currículo escolar. Se toma en cuenta las características sociales del sistema educativo latinoamericano, los objetivos de desarrollo del milenio y el impacto de ambos, sobre la educación matemática de los pueblos originarios. Se plantean retos futuros y una visión sobre la recuperación de los saberes matemáticos. Metodológicamente se sustenta como una investigación de enfoque cualitativo, con diseño de teoría fundamental, donde sus datos se analizan por codificación abierta axial.

El Tratado de Estadística de Olegario Fernández Baños fue el primer libro de Estadística Matemática en sentido moderno que se publicó en España. Anteriormente, se habían publicado libros de estadística para la asignatura de geógrafa y estadística industrial y Mercantil de las Escuelas de Comercio y para la de Economía Política de las Facultades de Derecho. tos libros de texto para esas asignaturas trataban, generalmente, temas de carácter administrativa, descripción de los métodos estadísticos utilizados y aplicación de la Estadística a España.
