内容説明
This volume details the different ways that nocturnal primates avoid predators. It is a first of its kind within primatology, and is therefore the only work giving a broad overview of predation - nocturnal primate predation theory in particular - in the field
Additionally, the book incorporates several chapters on the theoretical advances that researchers studying nocturnal primates need to make.
