Size and Scaling in Primate Biology
Inbunden, 1985
2189 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In very general terms, "scaling" can be defined as the structural and func tional consequences of differences in size (or scale) among organisms of more or less similar design. Interest in certain aspects of body size and scaling in primate biology (e. g. , relative brain size) dates to the turn …
Species, Species Concepts and Primate Evolution

A world of categones devmd of spirit waits for life to return. Saul Bellow, Humboldt's Gift The stock-in-trade of communicating hypotheses about the historical path of evolution is a graphical representation called a phylogenetic tree. In most such graphics, pairs of branches diverge from other …
Primates and Their Relatives in Phylogenetic Perspective
Inbunden, 1993
1643 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book has the modest aim of bringing together methodological, theo- retical, and empirical studies that bear on the phylogenetic placement of primates and their relatives, and continues a tradition started by Phylogeny of the Primates: A Multidisciplinary Approach (edited by W. P. Luckett and …
Anthropoid Origins
Av John G Fleagle, Richard F. Kay
Inbunden, 1994
3280 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This volume brings together information about recent discoveries and current theories concerning the origin and early evolution of anthropoid primates monkeys, apes, and humans. Although Anthropoidea is one of the most dis tinctive groups of living primates, and the origin of the group is a …
Function, Phylogeny, and Fossils
Miocene Hominoid Evolution and Adaptations
Av David R. Begun, Carol V. Ward m. fl.
Inbunden, 1997
2189 kr
Lägg i varukorg
An insightful new work, Function, Phylogeny, and Fossils integrates two practices in paleobiology which are often separated - functional and phylogenetic analysis. The book summarizes the evidence on paleoenvironments at the most important Miocene hominoid sites and relates it to the pertinent …
Reconstructing Behavior in the Primate Fossil Record
Av J. Michael Plavcan, Richard F. Kay m. fl.
Inbunden, 2001
1643 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This volume brings together a series of papers that address the topic of reconstructing behavior in the primate fossil record. The literature devoted to reconstructing behavior in extinct species is ovelWhelming and very diverse. Sometimes, it seems as though behavioral reconstruction is done as an …

Molecular Anthropology
Genes and Proteins in the Evolutionary Ascent of the Primates
Häftad, 2013
1098 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In 1962 at the Burg Wartenstein Symposium on "Classification and Human Evolution," Emile Zuckerkandl used the term "molecular anthropology" to characterize the study of primate phylogeny and human evolution through the genetic information contained in proteins and polynucleotides. Since that time, …
Comparative Biology and Evolutionary Relationships of Tree Shrews
Häftad, 2013
1098 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Tree shrews are small-bodied, scansorial, squirrel-like mammals that occupy a wide range of arboreal, semi-arboreal, and forest floor niches in Southeast Asia and adjacent islands. Comparative aspects of tree shrew biology have been the subject of extensive investigations during the past two …
Sensory Systems of Primates
Häftad, 2012
1098 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Primates are avid explorers that utilize a variety of sensory clues from the environment. The special senses of olfaction, audition, and particu larly vision are thus of paramount significance in the evolution and adaptive radiation of the primates. It was with this in mind that this volume was …
Nursery Care of Nonhuman Primates
Häftad, 2012
1098 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The Infant Primate Research Laboratory at the University of Washington was conceived in 1970 as a small research Wlit primarily for support of two individual's interests in early develop ment of nonhuman primates. Because of their research emphasis, a modest nursery was required to support a small …
Evolutionary Biology of the New World Monkeys and Continental Drift
Häftad, 2013
1098 kr
Lägg i varukorg
It is now well known that the concept of drifting continents became an estab lished theory during the 1960s. Not long after this "revolution in the earth sciences," researchers began applying the continental drift model to problems in historical biogeography. One such problem was the origin and …
New Interpretations of Ape and Human Ancestry
Häftad, 2013
1643 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In the field of paleoanthropology there is perhaps no more compelling issue than the origin of the human lineage. From the 19th-Century proclamations of Darwin, Huxley, and Haeckel up to the present-day announcements of authorities such as Pilbeam, Johanson, and Leakey, controversy and debate have …
