Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Long-Term Field Studies of Primates brings together key findings from decades of primate research across different habitats and continents, offering a unique view into the behavior, social structure, and ecology of primate species. This volume presents data from field studies that have been ongoing for over 30 years, with research on a wide range of primates such as lemurs, monkeys, and chimpanzees. The book delves into the value of long-term studies, which provide insights that short-term research cannot. Topics covered include life history traits, social organization, group dynamics, reproductive strategies, and responses to environmental changes. The chapters, written by leading primatologists, highlight the challenges of conducting long-term fieldwork and emphasize the importance of preserving field sites and biodiversity. This volume is essential for researchers, students, and anyone interested in primate behavior, ecology, and conservation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Some primate field studies have been on-going for decades, covering significant portions of individual life cycles or even multiple generations. In this volume, leading field workers report on the history and infrastructure of their projects in Madagascar, Africa, Asia and South America. More importantly, they provide summaries of their long-term research efforts on primate behaviour, ecology and life history, highlighting insights that were only possible because of the long-term nature of the study. The chapters of this volume collectively outline the many scientific reasons for studying primate behaviour, ecology and demography over multiple generations. This kind of research is typically necessitated by the relatively slow life histories of primates. Moreover, a complete understanding of social organization and behaviour, factors often influenced by rare but important events, requires long-term data collection. Finally, long-term field projects are also becoming increasingly important foci of local conservation activities.…
