Beskrivning

Starting with concise species accounts for all the marmoset and tamarin monkeys, this important new book then goes on to review their geographical distributions and still-contested taxonomy, along with comparative reviews of vocalizations, scent-marking, mating systems, infant care and development, social organization, and behaviour and ecology in the wild. As several of these small primates are rare or threatened, these subjects are strongly relevant to their management in captivity as well as for understanding natural populations. This is the first volume for several years to review current knowledge of this family, which comprises 52 species and subspecies found from Panama to northeastern Paraguay to southern Brazil.

Recensioner i media

'Anthony Rylands and his contributors have provided primatology with an updated theme-oriented approach to callitrichid biology which, without doubt, (1) represents an unrivalled comparative synthesis of our understanding of the systematics, ecology and behaviour of this primate (sub)family, and (2) will become the starting point of many a research hypothesis concerning the causes and adaptive functions of callitrichid biology over the next 10 years and beyond. The book is remarkable in terms of the amount of information and interpretations and hypotheses that it contains.'Christopher Pryce, Universität Zürich, Primate eye, No. 53, June 1994
