Primates in Flooded Habitats Ecology and Conservation

About this book

Nearly half the world's primate species use flooded habitats at one time or another, from swamp-going Congo gorillas and mangrove-eating proboscis monkeys, to uacaris in Amazonian riverside forests. This first-ever volume on the subject brings together experts from around the world in a ground breaking volume spanning fossil history, current biology and future research and conservation priorities. Flooded habitats are a vital part of tropical biology, both for the diversity of the species they house, and the complexity of their ecological interactions, but are often completely overlooked. Primates in Flooded Habitats will set the stage for a new wave of research on primates in these extraordinarily productive and highly threatened areas, and is ideal for researchers and graduate students in primatology, zoology, ecology, and conservation.

Biography

Katarzyna Nowak is a Research Associate at the University of the Free State, Qwaqwa campus, South Africa. Her research focuses on the behavioural flexibility of threatened species.

Adrian A. Barnett is a Research Fellow at Roehampton University, and has worked with flooded habitats and their primates for more than twenty-five years.

Ikki Matsuda is an Associate Professor at the Chubu University Academy of Emerging Sciences and a member of both the Japan Monkey Centre (Advisor) and the Wildlife Research Center of Kyoto University (specially appointed Associate Professor) in Japan. He focuses on a synthetic understanding of the evolution and ecology of colobine species, in particular of the proboscis monkey.
