书目名称 | Primate Anti-Predator Strategies | 编辑 | Sharon L. Gursky,K. A. I. Nekaris | 视频video | | 概述 | A first of its kind within primatology, and is therefore the only work giving a broad overview of predation – nocturnal primate predation theory in particular – in the field.Includes supplementary mat | 丛书名称 | Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | .Since the 1960s, primatologists have recognized the impact of predation on the evolution of morphology, the social systems and cognitive behavior of monkeys and apes, but few studies considered its impact on the prosimians - lemurs, lorises, galagos and tarsiers. This comprehensive volume, written by experts in the field, narrows this gap by highlighting the effect of predation on the order Primates in general. Theoretical approaches to understanding how primates perceive predation threat, as well as proximate and ultimate causes to address threat and attack, are considered across the primate order. Although this volume concentrates on the least known group in this theoretical area - the prosimians - contributions by researchers on numerous primate taxa across four major geographical regions make this a novel and exciting contribution to students interested in primate evolution and ecology. . | 出版日期 | Book 2007 | 关键词 | Evolution; Mammalia; Primate Order; behavior; ecology; morphology; primates; primatology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-34810-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-4190-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-34810-0Series ISSN 1574-3489 Series E-ISSN 1574-3497 | issn_series | 1574-3489 | copyright | Springer-Verlag US 2007 |
