| 1998 | | Kart, F:19x24,3 cm, 560 S, dg. s/w-Fotos, Tabellen. | WG: Buch | | Primate Sexuality is a uniquely comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about the sexual behaviour of primates. In it, Alan Dixson reviews and integrates both the evolutionary biology and the physiological basis of sexual behaviour across the whole spectrum of primates, from prosimians to humans. No other book written on the subject of primate sexuality exhibits the comparative breadth or technical depth of this outstanding volume, drawing on and collating work from over 2000 references, and illustrated throughout with hundreds of original drawings and figures. | [E] | |

Ausführlicher Bericht von zahlreichen Mitarbeitern an einer Populationsstudie im "Budongo Forest Reserve" in West-Uganda. Dort wurde eine 60 Individien umfassende Population über 15 Jahre intensiv beobachtet und erforscht. Der Projektleiter, Veron Reynolds, beschreibt das Verhalten der Schimpansen, deren Ernährung, soziale Organisation, Krankheiten. Beschrieben wird auch das einzigartige Jagdverhalten, bei dem kleine Schweine und Antilopen erbeutet werden. | Includes an Introduction by Jane Goodall Provides a unique insight into chimpanzee behaviour and social structure in the context of their forest habitat. Emphasizes the chimpanzee's endangered status, the crucial impact of human settlement on chimpanzees, and looks ahead to the future prospects for the survival of natural populations Based on 15 years of field data, much of it previously unpublished. Adds variety and balance to existing studies of chimpanzees, providing a more ecological approach Generously illustrated throughout with maps, figures, and photographs. Unlike humans, who came down from the trees and developed bipedal locomotion, chimpanzees have remained in the original habitat of our ancestors: the tropical rainforests of Africa. In this book, Vernon Reynolds describes in detail the work of a large number of students and senior researchers on the wild chimpanzees of the Budongo Forest Reserve in Western Uganda. He presents a coherent and in-depth account of one chimpanzee community of more than 60 individuals living in the Sonso area in the middle of the Budongo Forest, which he and his colleagues have studied intensively over the last 15 years. The chimpanzees have never been provisioned and live in an entirely natural state. Reynolds describes their forest habitat, their diet and culture, their social organization and behaviour, their diseases, and the threats to them that derive from the actions of people in the surrounding villages, the most serious of these being the presence of snares set by hunters to catch small antelopes and pigs. As founder and head of the Budongo Forest Project, Professor Reynolds has been responsible for compiling the numerous publications, reports, and dissertations written about these chimpanzees. In this book, he combines these new and often unpublished studies with past publications about Budongo Forest. Where appropriate, he also compares the Budongo chimpanzees with wild chimpanzees studied at other sites across Africa. The result is the most comprehensive account of the Budongo chimpanzees ever published, with a wealth of referenced material that will serve as a source of information for many years to come. | [[E]] | |

Ein Schwerpunkt der Studien liegt darin zu ergründen, welche ökologische Rolle die Affen für ihre natürlichen Lebensräume spielen. | The small apes, or gibbons, are among our closest living relatives, yet they have received little attention from the scientific community and the public in comparison with the other living apes. This oversight is not due to lack of appeal; their physical beauty, graceful acrobatic movements, and thrilling songs make it clear why gibbons are always among the most popular animals in zoos. Rather, the inherent difficulties involved in studying or filming gibbons in their natural habitats and, in some cases, the misconception that among apes, smaller means lesser, have led many researchers and filmmakers to focus their attentions elsewhere. Nonetheless, a growing number of intrepid field and laboratory researchers have made steady progress in the study of gibbon behavior and ecology over the last several decades. This volume is a systematic compilation of recent research on gibbon socioecology and population biology with a focus on understanding gibbons in the context of their natural habitats, and includes contributions on a range of topics, including gibbon biogeography, the ecological roles played by gibbons in their ecosystems, the origins and functions of key gibbon social and ecological adaptations, and the conservation status of wild gibbon populations. The contributors address both theoretical questions and the practical implications of our growing knowledge about gibbon adaptations. While gibbons share several important social features with humans, thus providing parallels for understanding human evolution, they are also fascinating creatures in their own right and act as vital components of tropical forest ecosystems. Unfortunately, gibbons are also among the most endangered living apes. This volume should be of interest to researchers and students from a variety of fields, including anthropologists, animal behaviorists, tropical ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and conservation biologists. | [E] | Serie: »Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects« |
