Primates in Anthropogenic Landscapes: Exploring Primate Behavioural Flexibility Across Human Contexts by Tracie McKinney, Siân Waters, Michelle A. RodriguesEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 350 Pages | ISBN : 3031117352 | 21.7 MB
The field of primatology has expanded substantially in the last twenty years, particularly with regard to studies of primates in human-altered landscapes. This text aims to review the recent literature on anthropogenic (of human origin) influences on non-human primates, bringing an overview of this important area of primatology together for students. Chapters are grouped into three sections, representing the many ways anthropogenic activities affect primate populations. The first section, ‘Human Influences on Primate Habitat’, covers ways in which wild primates are affected by human actions, including forest fragmentation, climate change, and the presence of dogs.
