life history in male mandrills mandrillus sphinx Physical Development dominance rank and group association
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2006Co-Authors: Joanna M. Setchell, Jean E Wickings, Leslie A KnappAbstract:We assess life history from birth to death in male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) living in a semifree-ranging colony in Gabon, using data collected for 82 males that attained at least the age of puberty, including 33 that reached adulthood and 25 that died, yielding data for their entire lifespan. We describe patterns of mortality and injuries, dominance rank, group association, growth and stature, and secondary sexual character expression across the male lifespan. We examine relationships among these variables and investigate potential influences on male life history, including differences in the social environment (maternal rank and group demography) and early Development, with the aim of identifying characteristics of successful males. Sons of higher-ranking females were more likely to survive to adulthood than sons of low-ranking females. Adolescent males varied consistently in the rate at which they developed, and this variation was related to a male's own dominance rank. Males with fewer peers and sons of higher-ranking and heavier mothers also matured faster. However, maternal variables were not significantly related to dominance rank during adolescence, the age at which males attained adult dominance rank, or whether a male became alpha male. Among adult males, behavior and morphological Development were related to a male's own dominance rank, and sons of high-ranking females were larger than sons of low-ranking females. Alpha males were always the most social, and the most brightly colored males, but were not necessarily the largest males present. Finally, alpha male tenure was related to group demography, with larger numbers of rival adult males and maturing adolescent males reducing the time a male spent as alpha male. Tenure did not appear to be related to characteristics of the alpha male himself. Am J Phys Anthropol, 2006. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

toward a sustainable campus comparison of the Physical Development planning of research university campuses in malaysia
Journal of Sustainable Development, 2011Co-Authors: M Z Abdrazak, Nur Akmal Goh Abdullah, Muhammad Farihan Irfan Mohd Nor, Ismar Minang Satotoy Usman, A I CheaniAbstract:Sustainability is a critical issue nowadays to ensure human’s continuity in these world. As the centre of research and knowledge, many universities worldwide have made the sustainability as a goal in developing their campus. This is because the Physical Development planning of the campus is an effective tool to create a sustainable campus. The objective of the research is to study the effectiveness of the Physical Development planning of research universities campus in Malaysia in creating a sustainable campus by referred to the Physical elements in campus Development planning. The scope of this research is limited to the Physical planning of the campus. There are four research universities has been chosen as the subjects namely Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Malaya (UM) and Universiti Putra Malaysia. Research methods used consisted of questionnaire, behavioural observation and visual study. A total of 400 respondents were chosen to ensure the success of the questionnaire and the total divided equally on each campus. Next, data obtained was statistically analyzed and compared between each campus. The results obtained by questionnaire then referred to the findings obtained from other techniques to get a detailed explanation. The research found that there are some weaknesses in the Physical Development planning of the campus that studied, especially in term of accessibility. In addition, the findings also indicate that the campus that planned as a compact campus lead a minor sustainability issue compared to the wide and dispersed campuses. Thus, the compact campus can lead to achieve the sustainability.

campus sustainability student s perception on campus Physical Development planning in malaysia
Procedia Engineering, 2011Co-Authors: M Z Abdrazak, N K F Mustafa, A I Cheani, Nur Akmal Goh Abdullah, M F I MohdnorAbstract:Abstract Campus Physical Development plan is an effective tool to shaping campuses’ life, especially among students to promote a sustainable living community. The purpose of this study is to asses and evaluates student's perception about the Physical Development planning of their campuses. The case study conducted in four public research university campuses. The quantitative and qualitative methods have been use in this study. Quantitative method involved data collection by using questionnaire distributed to 100 students for each campus. While the qualitative methods involved behavioural observation and visual study. The findings from qualitative methods clarified the quantitative data. The overall findings revealed that all campuses had a similar typical problem. However, there are differences about the extent or severity of the problems in each campus. The result shows that the most compact campus (USM) among these campuses, have a minimal problems in term of Physical Development planning that affect student's life compared to others campuses.
