Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Unwitting Travelers is an encyclopedic collection of 234 primate reintroduction programs that were conducted between the 16th century and the present. The author, Benjamin Beck, combs through more than 600 sources to document the location, dates, species, numbers of animals, methods, purposes, and outcomes of each program. His work reveals that more than 24,000 primates have been reintroduced in the wild. With only a single exception, the primates had no idea of where they were being taken or why; they were truly unwitting travelers. They struggled to adapt; many didn't. Often, those planning to reintroduce primates find that documentation of previous efforts is usually absent, or reports are unscientific, lacking in detail, and scattered in obscure sources. They are forced to reinvent the wheel, and the wheel turns on unproven assumptions and intuition. Many primates suffer as a result. Beck uses well-honed definitions to avoid semantic misunderstandings, and adds insightful, and sometimes wry, thoughts and observations. Many of the accounts describe heart-wrenching cruelty and deprivation, and others bring heartwarming and inspirational outcomes. Beck introduces us to many of the reintroduced primates (at least two reintroduced chimpanzees had a taste for scotch whiskey), and he shows that while some of the humans involved where indifferent, greedy, cruel, or contentious, many were dedicated, talented, adventurous, and tireless in their efforts.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This revised and updated edition of the landmark publication reveals the current state of knowledge regarding animal tool behavior.When originally published in 1980, Animal Tool Behavior was the first volume to catalog and analyze the complete literature on tool use and manufacture in non-human animals. Benjamin B. Beck showed how animals--from insects to primates--employed different types of tools to solve numerous problems. This work inspired and energized legions of researchers to study the use of tools by a wide variety of species.This new edition reveals the current state of knowledge regarding animal tool behavior, updated and revised with 300 additional references that have been published since the second edition. Through a comprehensive synthesis of studies produced through 2023, Robert W. Shumaker, Kristina R. Walkup, and Benjamin B. Beck define tool use, discuss the modes of tool use that have emerged in the scientific literature, examine all forms of tool manufacture, and address common myths about non-human tool use. Specific examples involving invertebrates, birds, fish, and mammals describe the differing levels of sophistication of tool use exhibited by animals. This volume provides a thorough framework for understanding animal tool use and manufacture.…
