Opis

Addressing a number of pressing issues facing primates in a shrinking, fragmented habitat, this follow-up to an introductory volume published a decade ago includes fresh data from long-term and regional studies, and vital recommendations on conservation.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

Selected by Choice magazine as an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2014

"The volume covers all major areas of research relevant to understanding primate habitat fragmentation and conservation implications, and additionally summarizes the conservation status of several nonhuman primate populations that are most impacted by habitat fragmentation. The color photographs illustrate the book nicely throughout. ... this book is an excellent and critical starting point. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals in primatology." (L. Swedell, Choice, Vol. 51 (10), June, 2014)
