This new release presents the wealth of information gleaned about nonhuman primate nutrition since the previous edition was published in 1978. The book expands coverage of natural dietary habits, gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology, and the nutrient needs of species that have been difficult to maintain in captivity. It explores the impact on nutrition of physiologic and life-stage considerations: infancy, weaning, immunology, obesity, aging, and more. And, the committee discusses issues of environmental enrichment such as opportunities for foraging. Based on the world’s scient

Anthropologists have traditionally ignored the New World primates because they are not in the mainstream of evolution leading to the human species. Yet, because they exhibit parallel adaptations to those of apes and Old World monkeys – tool use, a wider variety of mating systems, and parallels to human language - they provide us with a unique source of information. This book, whose contributors are leading experts on various aspects of New World monkeys, explores the tremendous diversity to be found among neotropical primate species that have adapted to the highly varied Central and

The Behavior Guide to African Mammals is as different from a conventional field guide as motion pictures are from a snapshot. Whether we are able to look at them face to face, on television, or in the hundreds of illustrations provided here by Daniel Otte, this guide allows us to understand what animals do and what their behavior means.Drawing on his own extensive fieldwork and on the research of many other scientists, Richard Estes describes and explains the behavior of four major groups of mammals. Estes’s remarkably informative guide is as up-to-date for the zoologist as it is accessi
