The Chimpanzees of the Taï Forest: Behavioural Ecology and Evolution
ISBN: 9780198505075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The chimpanzees are the closest living evolutionary relatives to our own species, Homo sapiens. As such, they have long exerted a fascination over those with an interest in human evolution, and what makes humans unique. Chrisophe Boesch and Hedwige Boesch-Acherman undertook an incredible observational study of a group of wild chimpanzees of the Tai forest in Cote D'Ivoire, spending some fifteen years in the West African jungle with them. This fascinating book is the result of these years of painstaking research among the chimps. Chimpanzee behavior is documented here in all its impressive...

Wild Cultures: A Comparison Between Chimpanzee and Human Cultures
ISBN: 9781107689152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) How do chimpanzees say, 'I want to have sex with you?' By clipping a leaf or knocking on a tree trunk? How do they eat live aggressive ants? By using a short stick with one hand or long stick with both? Ivorian and Tanzanian chimpanzees answer these questions differently, as would humans from France and China if asked how they eat rice. Christophe Boesch takes readers into the lives of chimpanzees from different African regions, highlighting the debate about culture. His ethnography reveals how simple techniques have evolved into complex ones, how teaching styles differ, how material culture...

Animal Social Complexity
ISBN: 9780674419124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 634 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The editors of this volume argue that future research into complex animal societies and intelligence will change the perception of animals as gene machines, programmed to act in particular ways and perhaps elevate them to a status much closer to our own. At a time when humans are perceived more biologically than ever before, and animals as more cultural, are we about to witness the dawn of a truly unified social science, one with a distinctly cross-specific perspective?

Behavioural Diversity in Chimpanzees and Bonobos
ISBN: 9780521006132 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus) are the only two species of the genus Pan, and are humans' nearest relatives. This book is an extensive review of the most recent observations from field studies on the diversity of Pan social behavior, with contributions from many of the world's leading experts. A wide range of social behavior is discussed including tool use, hunting, reproductive strategies, conflict management, demographic variables and ecological constraints. In addition to interspecies behavioral diversity, this text describes exciting new research into variations...

Feeding Ecology in Apes and Other Primates
ISBN: 9781107406001 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Feeding Ecology in Apes and Other Primates focuses on evolutionary perspectives of the complex interactions between the environment, food sources, physiology and behaviour in primates. This highly interdisciplinary volume provides a benchmark to assess dietary alterations that affected human evolution by putting the focus on the diet of hominid primates. It also offers a fresh perspective on the behavioural ecology of the last common ancestor by integrating corresponding information from both human and non-human primates. The potential of innovations of applied biotechnology are also explored...

Monogamy: Mating Strategies and Partnerships in Birds, Humans and Other Mammals
ISBN: 9780521819732 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Why do birds often live in pairs and rear chicks together, whereas female mammals usually live in groups and rear their young without male help? Why do males sometimes live with a single mate when they are capable of fertilizing more than one female's eggs? Is male helping behavior important for monogamous partnerships? This book provides answers concerning the biological roots of social monogamy in animal groups as diverse as ungulates, carnivores, rodents, birds and primates (including humans) for students and researchers in behavioral ecology, evolutionary anthropology and zoology.
