Short description:
A ground breaking study of primates that live in flooded habitats around the world.
Long description:
Nearly half the world's primate species use flooded habitats at one time or another, from swamp-going Congo gorillas and mangrove-eating proboscis monkeys, to uacaris in Amazonian riverside forests. This first-ever volume on the subject brings together experts from around the world in a ground breaking volume spanning fossil history, current biology and future research and conservation priorities. Flooded habitats are a vital part of tropical biology, both for the diversity of the species they house, and the complexity of their ecological interactions, but are often completely overlooked. This book will set the stage for a new wave of research on primates in these extraordinarily productive and highly threatened areas, and is ideal for researchers and graduate students in primatology, zoology, ecology, and conservation.
''Formidable' comes to mind in thinking about this Volume ... the editors' timely strategy of maximal coverage has generated a wealth of valuable information, much of it written by researchers from 20 countries where primates actually live.' Alfred L. Rosenberger, The Quarterly Review of Biology
