Marmosets and Tamarins

Starting with concise accounts for all the marmoset and tamarin monkeys species, this important new book then goes on to review their geographical distributions and taxonomy, along with comparative reviews of vocalizations, scent-marking, mating systems, infant care and development, social organization, and behavior and ecology in the wild. Several of these small-primate species are rare or threatened, and the subjects discussed here are strongly relevant to their management in captivity as well as for understanding natural populations. This is the first volume in several years to review current knowledge of this family, which comprises 52 species and subspecies found in the area from Panama to southern Brazil.

Phylogeny and Conservation

Phylogeny is a potentially powerful tool for conserving biodiversity. This book explores how it can be used to tackle questions of great practical importance and urgency for conservation. Using case studies from many different taxa and regions of the world, the volume evaluates how useful phylogeny is in understanding the processes that have generated today's diversity and the processes that now threaten it. The urgency with which conservation decisions have to be made as well as the need for the best possible decisions make this volume of great value to researchers, practitioners and policy-makers.

Lion Tamarins

Contributors to this work have played major roles in preservation of lion tamarins and other endangered species. They review the history and framework of research and conservation for four species of lion tamarins, and report on studies that have played a part in contributing to the management of the species in captivity and in the wild. They describe direct interventions to conserve wild populations and their habitats, and look at future directions and challenges in lion tamarin conservation. B & w photos of reintroduction efforts are included. Kleiman is affiliated with the Smithsonian National Zoological Park; Rylands is with the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science.
