PRIMATE BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY

'Primate Behavioral Ecology' incorporates discoveries and approaches in its introduction to the field and its applications of behavioral ecology to primate conservation. This text integrates the basics of evolutionary, ecological, and demographic perspectives with noninvasive molecular and hormonal techniques to understand how different primates behave and the significance of these insights for primate conservation. Examples are drawn from the 'classic' primate field studies and more recent studies on previously neglected species from across the primate order, illustrating the behavioral variation that we now know exists and the gaps in our knowledge that future studies will fill.
