New Perspectives in the Study of Mesoamerican Primates Distribution, Ecology, Behavior, and Conservation /
The purpose of this volume is to present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in primate field research, ecology, and conservation biology in Mesoamerica. The overall goal of each contribution is to integrate newly collected field data with theoretical perspectives drawn from evolutionary bio...
