About this title

Synopsis

This state-of-the-art book on how form is described in primate biology, and its consequences for function and behavior, includes contributions by internationally renowned researchers of quantitative primate evolutionary morphology. Each chapter elaborates upon the analysis of the form-function-behavior triad. The book is unique, therefore, not only in the diversity of the topics discussed, but in the range of levels of biological organization addressed--from cellular morphometrics to the evolution of primate ecology.

Book Description

Shaping Primate Evolution is a state-of-the-art book on how form is described in primate biology, and the consequences of form for function and behavior. Written by internationally reknowned researchers of quantitative primate evolutionary morphology, each chapter elaborates upon the analysis of the form-function-behavior triad. This book is unique, therefore, not only in the diversity of the topics discussed, but also in the range of levels of biological organization that are addressed from cellular morphometrics to the evolution of primate ecology, making it a must-have volume for all functional morphologists.
