Old World Monkeys
Old World monkeys are the most successful and diverse group of non-human primates alive today. Covering a broad spectrum of topics from molecular phylogeny to population structure, this book is the definitive reference work for researchers, graduates and senior undergraduate students in primatology, anthropology and related fields.
Colobine Monkeys
Colobine monkeys have a unique digestive system, analagous to that of ruminants, which allows them to exploit foliage as a food source. This gives them a niche in Old World forests where they are often the only abundant medium-sized arboreal folivorous mammal. From a possible Miocene origin, Colobine monkeys have radiated into a wide variety of forms inhabiting a range of tropical woodlands in Africa and Asia. Most of the extant species have been subject to long term field studies, but until this book, no synthesis of work on this group has been available. The central theme of is that of adaptive radiation, showing how the special features of colobine anatomy interacted with a range of ecosystems to produce the distinctive species of today. The book discusses parallels with other mammalian groups, and will be of relevance to workers in evolutionary ecology, primatology and tropical ecology.
The Natural History of the Doucs and Snub-nosed Monkeys
"producing a nicely bound and printed book, with excellently reproduced illustrations, including colour photographs the publishers' recommended price is more than fair".International Zoo News, 1998"This book is an excellent addition to the conservation biology literature and will be a valuable reference for all university libraries I highly recommend this book to all those who are concerned about the conservation and management of highly endangered Asian primates".Journal of Mammalogy, 1999
Old World Monkeys
Examines the physical characteristics, habits, and natural environment of various species of Old World monkeys, those living in the rain forests and woodland-grassland regions of Africa and Asia.
The Red Colobus Monkeys
This unique research level text is suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers in primatology, behavioral ecology, anthropology, and conservation biology. --Book Jacket.
Primate Societies
In this book, Hans Kummer, one of the world's leading primate ethologists, examines the patterns of social interaction among primates. He examines this social behavior from the fundamentally biological viewpoint of evolutionary adaptation as part of the survival mechanisms for the species. Recognizing that all activity is constituted in part of genetic programming and in part of adaptive behavior, he explores the borderline area between the genetic and the "cultural." By use of astute observation and clever experimentation he shows that many aspects of social behavior are inherited, and differentially inherited among various primate groups. These data also show, however, that the individuals...
