The International Encyclopedia of Primatology, 3 Volume Set
The International Encyclopedia of Primatology represents the first comprehensive encyclopedic reference focusing on the behaviour, biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, and taxonomy of human and non-human primates. Represents the first comprehensive encyclopedic reference relating to primatology Features more than 450 entries covering topics ranging from the taxonomy, history, behaviour, ecology, captive management and diseases of primates to their use in research, cognition, conservation, and representations in literature Includes coverage of the basic scientific concepts that underlie each topic, along with the latest advances in the field Highly accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in primatology, anthropology, and the medical, biological and zoological sciences Essential reference for academics, researchers and commercial and conservation organizations This work is also available as an online resource at www.encyclopediaofprimatology.com
Primates in Fragments
This volume was created initially from a symposium of the same name presented at the International Primatological Society's XVIII Congress in Adelaide. South Australia. 6-12 January 2000. Many of the authors who have contributed to this text could not attend the symposium. so this has become another vehicle for the rapidly growing discipline of Fragmentation Science among primatologists. Fragmentation has quickly become a field separate from general ecology. which underscores the severity of the situation since we as a planet are rapidly losing habitat of all types to human disturbance. Getting ecologists. particularly primatologists. to admit that they study in fragments is not easy. In the...
Oxtankah: una ciudad prehispánica en las tierras bajas del área maya
Los grupos mayas actuales conservan una riqueza de conocimientos para manejar y utilizar los recursos naturales de su entorno y de prácticas y sistemas para la producción. El acercamiento a sus formas de vida nos permitió aproximarnos al entendimiento de las Estrategias autóctonas de apropiación de un ecosistema tropical que aplicaron los habitantes de Oxtankah, ya que las investigaciones arqueológicas demuestran su permanencia en la ciudad donde desarrollaron su cultura por más de 1500 años.
Cuentos De Lunas Y Gatos Azules
De lunas y gatos azules es un libro con cuentos que hablan acerca de relaciones romnticas entre mujeres y hombres unas las lunas otros los gatos azules. Son cuentos que hablan de una historia fundamental pero tremendamente complicada, aquella creada por mujeres y hombres. Tan lejanos unos de otros y tanta necesidad de complementarse unos y otros. Este es un libro que cuenta algunas historias sobre el puente que en ocasiones mgicamente se crea entre lunas y gatos. Puentes algunos duraderos otros no tanto. A veces, puentes endebles que tercamente unos u otros crean; pero en otras ocasiones casi milagrosas, puentes firmes que ambos construyen. En de lunas y gatos azules se cuentan historias de algunos de esos puentes entre gatos azules, ac abajo en el planeta Tierra, y lunas all arriba en la noche eterna

Spatial Capture-Recapture
Spatial Capture-Recapture provides a comprehensive how-to manual with detailed examples of spatial capture-recapture models based on current technology and knowledge. Spatial Capture-Recapture provides you with an extensive step-by-step analysis of many data sets using different software implementations. The authors' approach is practical – it embraces Bayesian and classical inference strategies to give the reader different options to get the job done. In addition, Spatial Capture-Recapture provides data sets, sample code and computing scripts in an R package. - Comprehensive reference on revolutionary new methods in ecology makes this the first and only book on the topic - Every methodological element has a detailed worked example with a code template, allowing you to learn by example - Includes an R package that contains all computer code and data sets on companion website
New Perspectives in the Study of Mesoamerican Primates
The purpose of this volume is to present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in primate field research, ecology, and conservation biology in Mesoamerica. The overall goal of each contribution is to integrate newly collected field data with theoretical perspectives drawn from evolutionary biology, socioecology, biological anthropology, and conservation to identify how our current knowledge of primate behavior and ecology has moved beyond more traditional approaches. A corollary to this, and an important goal of the volume is to identify geographical regions and species for which we continue to lack sufficient information, to develop action plans for future research, and to identify ar...
Oxtankah: una ciudad prehispánica en las tierras bajas del área maya
La ciudad de Oxtankah desempeñó un papel crucial sociopolítico establecido por las comunidades en la porción sur del actual estado de Quintana Roo, con lo cual se concluye que sus habitantes lograron un alto grado de sustentabilidad ecológica que les permitió diversificar la economía local, basada en la explotación de recursos marinos, costeros y lacustres, al igual que en la agricultura, recolección, cacería, apicultura y producción de sal, entre otros.
Neotropical Mammals
This book reviews and synthesizes studies on local and regional occupancy and abundance of Neotropical mammals from central Mexico to South America. The book focuses primarily on addressing issues of a wide array of mammalian species from a population level in different habitats and ecosystems across the Neotropical region. Occupancy and abundance analyzed through hierarchical approaches with a variety of statistical tools are the central ecological parameters treated in the chapters of this volume. This book will be an updated reference for researchers, professionals, students, wildlife managers, and people interested in mammal ecology and conservation in tropical and subtropical regions.
The Beast Between
The white-tailed deer had a prominent status in Maya civilization; it was the most important wild-animal food source at many inland Maya sites and also functioned as a major ceremonial symbol. Offering an in-depth semantic analysis of this imagery, The Beast Between considers iconography, hieroglyphic texts, mythological discourses, and ritual narratives to translate the significance and meaning of the vibrant metaphors expressed in a variety of artifacts depicting deer and hunting. Charting the progression of deer as a key component of the Maya diet, especially for elites, to the coupling of deer and maize in the Maya worldview, The Beast Between reveals a close and long-term interdependence. Not only are deer depicted naturalistically in hunting and ritual scenes, but they are also ascribed with human attributes. This rich imagery reflects the many ways in which deer hunting was linked to status, sexuality, and war as part of a deeper process to ensure the regeneration of both agriculture and ancestry. Drawing on methodologies of art history, archaeology, and ethnology, this illuminating work is poised to become a key resource for multiple fields.
