By Joanna M. Setchell,Deborah J. Curtis

development at the good fortune of the 1st version and bringing jointly contributions from quite a number specialists within the box, the second one variation of this consultant to investigate on wild primates covers the most recent advances within the box, together with new info on box experiments and measuring behaviour. It offers crucial details and recommendation at the technical and sensible features of either box and laboratory equipment, overlaying themes equivalent to ethnoprimatology; distant sensing; GPS and radio-tracking; trapping and dealing with; nutritional ecology; and non-invasive genetics and endocrinology. This built-in method opens up new possibilities to check the behavioural ecology of a few of the main endangered primates and to gather info on formerly studied populations. Chapters comprise methodological recommendations; directions on amassing, processing and retaining samples/data for later research; moral issues; comparative expenses; and extra studying, making this a useful device for postgraduate scholars and researchers in primatology, behavioural ecology and zoology.
