About this Item

A great deal has been written about primates; however few volumes have focused on an entire community of sympatric monkeys at a single site. Drawing upon diverse sets of data, the authors provide a multi-thematic case study of the entire monkey community of the Taï forest (Ivory Coast). Much of the book explores how the seven monkey species have adapted to hunting pressures from chimpanzees, leopards, crowned eagles and humans.

About this title

Synopsis

A great deal has been written about primates; however few volumes have focused on an entire community of sympatric monkeys at a single site. Drawing upon diverse sets of data, the authors provide a multi-thematic case study of the entire monkey community of the Taï forest (Ivory Coast). Featuring a large section of colour photographs, which significantly enhance the behaviours discussed in the text, the breadth of this important volume means it will be of interest to a wide variety of primatologists, functional anatomists, psychologists, and behavioural ecologists.
