K. A. I. Nekaris is Professor of Biological Anthropology at Oxford Brookes University, where she directs the Nocturnal Primate Research Group and the M.Sc. Primate Conservation. She has conducted fieldwork on lorisids since 1993, and is Director of the Little Fireface Project, using conservation education, ecology and advocacy to conserve nocturnal mammals.
Anne M. Burrows is Professor of Anatomy at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh. She has been working on evolutionary morphology of lorises and pottos for twenty years, focusing on feeding mechanisms and communication.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Furry and wide-eyed, lorises and pottos are small, nocturnal primates inhabiting African, Asian and Southeast Asian tropical and subtropical forests. Their likeable appearance, combined with their unusual adaptations - from a marked reduction of the tail to their mostly slow, deliberate locomotion, powerful grasping and, in some species, a venomous bite - has led to a significant rise in research interest in the family Lorisidae over the last decade. Furthermore, lorises in particular have featured frequently in international media largely due to illegal trade, for example as pets. This is the first volume to present a full picture of the breadth of research being undertaken on lorisids to aid future studies as well as conservation efforts. Focusing on five key topics: evolutionary biology, ecomorphology, behavioural ecology, captive management and conservation, this book is a vital read for graduate students and researchers in primatology, biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, animal behaviour and conservation.
