Series Statement:
Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospect
Content:
Provides an insight into the study of lemur origins, and the ecology and adaptation of both extant and extinct lemurs. This book also addresses the issues of primate behavioral ecology and how environment can play a role in explaining species variation, while giving us an insight into mammalian adaptations to unusual environmental conditions
Note:
Includes bibliographical references and index
