Laboratory-based researchers have focused on aspects like biomechanics and energetics, whereas field-based researchers have focused on (locomotor) behaviour and ecology. Unfortunately, to date, there is relatively little scientific exchange between both groups. With a book, which will be the result of a symposium on the 2008 Meeting of the International Primatological Society in Edinburgh, we would like to bring together laboratory and field-based primate locomotion studies. We are convinced this will be beneficial for both research lines. For example, biomechanists might wonder how frequently the locomotor style they study in the lab actually occurs in nature, and field workers might use calculated costs of locomotion to understand why certain locomotor behaviours are favoured under specific conditions. Thus, on the one hand, an established link between both groups may help interpret the results by using each other’s findings. On the other hand, recent technological advances (e.g. portable high-speed cameras) make it possible to bridge the gap between lab-based and field-based research by actually collecting b | | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-1420-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-2777-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-1420-0Series ISSN 1574-3489 Series E-ISSN 1574-3497 | | issn_series | 1574-3489 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 |
