Five New World Primates

A Study in Comparative Ecology
  • and
Language: English
Published/Copyright: 2014

About this book

Launching a new series, Monographs in Behavior and Ecology, this work is an intensive study of five species of New World monkeys--all omnivores with a diet of fruit and small prey. Notwithstanding their common diet, they differ widely in group size, social system, ranging patterns, and degree of territoriality.

Originally published in 1984.
