Offers a focused review of living and extinct primates in regional and community frameworks, and applies the community perspective to explore primates' adaptive diversity in the context of evolution.

Covers long-term and regional studies; landscape, metapopulations, and the matrix; feeding and behavioral ecology; endemic, endangered, and nocturnal primates; genetics, disease, and parasites; and conservation and ecology

Topics include geographical distributions, habitat preferences, territorial arrangements, activity rhythms, feeding techniques, defense mechanisms, and competition and cooperation among individuals of the same species.

Topics include comparative methods, comparative life history and biology, and comparative socioecology and social evolution. The book also presents an overview of comparative methodologies as applied to recent primate research.

Describes the behavioral aspects of ecology, including activity patterning, food selection, and ranging behavior
