The Natural History of the Doucs and Snub-Nosed Monkeys
ISBN: 9789810231316 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the biology of some of the rarest and least-known nonhuman primates. Virtually unstudied and unknown until 20 years ago, the doucs and snub-nosed monkeys occupy some of the most remote habitats of eastern Asia and exhibit some of the most unusual adaptations of any nonhuman primates. The volume provides detailed information on these rare Asian primates that should be useful to practitioners of evolutionary biology, field and laboratory primatology, systematics, field ecology and conservation biology.

Living Color is the first book to investigate the social history of skin color from prehistory to the present, showing how our body's most visible feature influences our social interactions in profound and complex ways. Nina Jablonski begins this fascinating and wide-ranging work with an explanation of the biology and evolution of skin pigmentation, tracing how skin color changed as humans moved around the globe, exploring the relationship between melanin and sunlight, and examining the consequences of mismatches between our skin color and our environment due to rapid migrations,...

This unique volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of all aspects of the biology of the Old World monkey genus, Theropithecus, which evolved alongside our human ancestors. This genus is represented today by only one rare species. The authors explore the fossil history and evolution of the genus, its biogeography, comparative evolutionary biology and anatomy, and the behavior and socioecology of the living and extinct representatives of the genus. The parallels between the evolution of Theropithecus and early hominids are discussed. There are also two chapters of particular...

Shaping Primate Evolution: Form, Function, and Behavior
ISBN: 9780521811071 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
