She is currently a research fellow at MUSE—Science Museum in Trento, Italy. Her major research interests are inte- grated morphological and behavioral studies with genetics, endocrinology and parasitology to address questions relating to reproductive strategies, life history, signaling,sexualselectionandevolutioninprimates.Asecondfocusofherresearch involves conservation physiology with emphasis on developing multidisciplinary methods that integrate population ecology with metagenomics and physiological approachesfor therapidassessmentofthreatened populationstoaddressquestions concerning human/wildlife interactionsand biodiversity conservation. Hirohisa Hirai is a Professor at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, and Former Director of the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University,Japan.Hisprimary research interestsareinmolecular cytogeneticsand chromosome evolution in primates. Especially, he is interested in constitutive heterochromatin, rDNA genomic dispersion, centromere and telomere of hylo- batids, hominids, and platyrrhines. Ulrich H. Reichard is Associate Professor of Biological Anthropology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, U.S.A. He co-authored Monogamy: MatingStrategiesandPartnershipsinBirds,HumansandotherMammals(2003). His research interests are wide, spanning topics related to the ecology, behavior, and cognition of primates, particularly small apes, with the purpose of finding answers to questions about what makes us human. Since nearly thirty years his empirical work focuses on the primate community of Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, where he and his team of students and colleagues study the life history, vocalcommunication,andspatialintelligence ofwhite-handedgibbons(Hylobates lar).Currentinvestigationsalsoinvolvereproductivestrategiesofmaleandfemale northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina). vii Part I Introduction Chapter 1 The Evolution of Gibbons and Siamang Ulrich H.
