Evolutionary Biology and Conservation of Titis, Sakis and Uacaris (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology, Series Number 65) Illustrated Edition

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
See all formats and editions
The neotropical primate family Pitheciidae consists of four genera Cacajao (uacaris), Callicebus (titis), Chiropotes (bearded sakis) and Pithecia (sakis), whose 40+ species display a range of sizes, social organisations, ecologies and habitats. Few are well known and the future survival of many is threatened, yet pitheciines have been little studied. This book is the first to review the biology of this fascinating and diverse group in full. It includes fossil history, reviews of the biology of each genus and, among others, specific treatments of vocalisations and foraging ecology. These studies are integrated into considerations of current status and future conservation requirements on a country-by-country basis for each species. A state-of-the-art summary of current knowledge, Evolutionary Biology and Conservation of Titis, Sakis and Uacaris is a collective effort from all the major researchers currently working on these remarkable animals.

Long due, finally this book came to print. It will stay as a reference for a long time because in it there are reports of many of those studying primates in the Amazonia in the last quart of XX Century and first decade of XXI. Is a valuable book for presenting data based work and for beautiful images. It is a document of difficult times for conservation as the exploitation of the nature richness leaded to degradation of many primates habitats in the Amazonia. It also represents efforts of dedicated researchers working with small grants, immense bureaucracy, for the sake of science. Liza succumbed to the insensitivity dominating agencies and disloyal competition among researchers, but let this time-marking book for us.
