Primate Behavioral Ecology* Includes long term studies across the primate order, including New World Monkeys and Prosimians as well as Old World Monkeys and Apes, which demonstrate much greater diversity than baboons, macaques, or apes encompass. * Covers both social behavior and ecological adaptations. * Emphasizes the interplay between theory, observations, and conservation issues throughout. * Illustrates primates and behavioral and ecological principles through more than 150 photos and 50 graphs and diagrams. * Discusses consequences of behavior patterns, such as how dispersal affects gene flow and why fragmented populations are at risk of extinction. * Integrates classic studies, theoretical papers and review articles with current references - more than 800 in all. |
