Book The Socioecology of Adult Female Patas Monkeys and Vervets in Kenya

Download or read book The Socioecology of Adult Female Patas Monkeys and Vervets in Kenya written by Jill Pruetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For upper-level and/or graduate level Primatology or Biological Anthropology courses.Socioecology of Adult Female Patas Monkeys and Vervet in Kenya, East Africa provides students with a glimpse into a research project from start to finish. It discusses basic issues of studying primates and explores one of the major theories that has defined primatology for several decades. This text not only contributes detail on primate behavior, but also on the ecological variables that influence primate behavior. These are often difficult to measure, but the unique environment at the study site enabled the author to address questions that are much more difficult to answer elsewhere.

Book The Origins and Nature of Sociality

Download or read book The Origins and Nature of Sociality written by Robert W. Sussman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific developments have increasingly been transforming our understanding of the place of human beings in nature. The contributors to this book focus on the current status of research on sociality and the evolution of cooperative and altruistic behaviour in non-human and human primates. They examine questions related to the evolution, cultural viability, and hormonal underpinnings of human sociality in specific detail, and describe patterns of sociality that shed light on human social behaviour.

  • Pages : 884 pages

Download or read book Primates in Perspective written by Christina J. Campbell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2011 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains forty-seven original essays by seventy leading researchers, offering an overview of all major areas of primatology. Arranged in six sections, the text begins with an introduction to primatology and a review of the natural history of the major taxonomic groups within the order Primates. It goes on to cover methodologies and research design for both field and captive settings; primate reproduction; primate ecology and conservation and their roles in the daily lives of primates; and such aspects of social behavior and intelligence as communication, learning, and cognition. The volume ends with a concluding chapter by the editors that discuss the future of primatological research.

Book The Natural History of Primates

Download or read book The Natural History of Primates written by Robert W. Sussman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest in primates, from lemurs to gorillas, has never been greater. Primatologists are continually finding evidence in the behavior and ecology of our closest genetic relatives that sheds light on human origins. So, just who are these 520+ species of complex and intelligent mammals inhabiting the Neotropics, Africa, Madagascar, and Asia? The Natural History of Primates provides the most current information on wild primates from experts who have studied them in their natural environments. This volume provides up-to-date facts and figures on how groups of social primates interact with each other and the plants and other animal species in their ecosystems: what they eat, which predators might eat them, how males and females seek mates, how infants are raised, and myriad other fascinating details about their visual and vocal communication, their ability to craft and use tools, and the varieties of locomotion they employ. As human populations continue to expand into the rainforests, savannas, and woodlands where nonhuman primates dwell, the preservation of these species becomes ever more important. The Natural History of Primates is unique in its emphasis on the conservation status of primate species and its ample discussions of how humans and nonhuman primates can coexist in the twenty-first century.

Book Socioecology  Stress  and Reproduction Among Female Diana Monkeys  cercopithecus Diana  in C  te D Ivoire s Ta   National Park

Download or read book Socioecology Stress and Reproduction Among Female Diana Monkeys cercopithecus Diana in C te D Ivoire s Ta National Park written by Erin Elizabeth Kane and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the relationship between ecological variables and diet, social behavior, reproduction, and stress in arboreal, forest-dwelling guenons. Previous research has demonstrated that Diana monkeys (Cercopithecus diana) exemplify many predictions of socioecological; models: they are ripe fruit specialists, females are philopatric and socially bonded, and feeding competition both within and between groups is relatively high compared to closely related taxa. Here, I use socioecological data collected between July 2013-August 2015 on habituated adult female Diana monkeys living in the Tai Forest, Cote d’Ivoire, and fecal samples collected over the same period to test the hypothesis that fluctuations in food availability have significant consequences for Diana monkeys in terms of their diet, social relationships while foraging, the timing of reproduction, and metabolic stress.
