Book Description

ISBN-10: 0306476967 | ISBN-13: 978-0306476969 | Publication Date: February 28, 2003 | Edition: 1

This volume addresses several key questions regarding primates in fragments. It is divided into sections based on broad categories of research in primates in fragments. In the genetics and population dynamics section, the authors cover topics in viability, metapopulation and species that remain in remnant forests. In the behavioral ecology section, authors take a closer look at feeding, ranging and other behaviors that allow primates to remain in or disperse between fragments. In conservation and management, authors bring knowledge of species who remain in fragments together with plans to implement strategies for their long term viability. Finally, in the integration and future directions section, authors synthesize the information in this volume and make recommendations for future and continued work in this field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to conservation biology!, November 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Primates in Fragments: Ecology and Conservation (Hardcover)

I think this is a great new addition not only to the study of primates in critical habitats but for the science of conservation biology. I recommend this book for anyone who is intersted in what is going on the the tropics.
