South American Primates
DEVELOPMENTS IN PRIMATOLOGY: PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS
SeriesEditor:RussellH.Tuttle,UniversityofChicago,Chicago,Illinois
This peer-reviewed book series melds the facts of organic diversity with the
continuity of the evolutionary process. The volumes in this series exemplify the
diversity of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches currently
employed by primatologists and physical anthropologists. Specific coverage
includes:primatebehaviorinnaturalhabitatsandcaptivesettings;primateecology
and conservation;functionalmorphologyand developmentalbiology of primates;
primatesystematics;geneticandphenotypicdifferencesamonglivingprimates;and
paleoprimatology.
