Collection : Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects
Note(s) : This book is number two in a series for Primates in Fragments. In this volume, ten
years after the first http://www.springer.com/social+sciences/anthropology+%26+archaeology/book/978-0-306-47696-9,
we continue to address issues regarding primates within a fractured landscape. There
are seven sections based on specific categories of primates in fragments. In the Introductory
section, authors discuss the issues surrounding primates in remnant habitats as well
as encourage discussion about what we mean by fragmentation on a landscape scale.
In the Long-Term and Regional Studies section, authors present information on changes
that have occurred during longer studies as well as changes that have occurred over
regions. In the Landscape, Metapopulations and the Matrix section, authors cover topics
from dry to moist forests, and from metapopulations to single species use of multiple
fragments locations. In Feeding and Behavioral Ecology, authors take a closer look
at the flexibility and responsiveness of primates in fragments in terms of their food
choices, resource use, and behavioral changes. In Endemic, Endangered, and Nocturnal
Primates authors uncover details involving critical primates living in major city
centers to the heights of the Himalayas. In Genetics, Disease and Parasites authors
cover topics including population viability, disease and parasite transmission between
primates in fragments and humans. Finally, in the Conservation and Ecology: Threats
and Management section, we synthesize information in this volume and make recommendations
for the future of work in this field and the survivability of primates in fragments
