In response to the loss of primates' natural habitat due to economic development of the tropical rain forests, and to increasing concern about the well-being of primates in zoos and laboratories, 19 articles explore the capacity of several species to adapt to environmental change, and the mechanisms they use to do so. Some discuss general topics, such as variation between species and between individuals, an evolutionary perspective, interrelationships between behavioral parameters, and the social control of fertility. Others present case studies from both natural and artificial environments. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
