内容説明

Primate Behavioral Ecology is an introduction to the field and its applications to primate conservation. Like no other text on the market, this comprehensive text integrates the basics of evolutionary and ecological approaches to the study of primate behavior with up-to-date coverage of how different primates behave. Examples are drawn from the "classic" primate field studies and more recent studies on previously neglected species illustrating the vast behavioral variation that we now know exists and the gaps in our knowledge that future studies will fill. This text meets the tremendous need for a textbook that integrates contemporary behavioral ecology, evolutionary theory, and conservation concerns as they pertain to primates.
