Primate Anti-Predator Strategies
(Developments in Primatology Progress and Prospects)
by Russell Turtle, Sharon Gursky
Pages: 409
Publisher: --
Edition: 1st., 2007
Language: English
ISBN: 978-0387348100
Description
The impact of predation on the morphology, behavior, and ecology of animals has long been recognized by the primatologist community. Recent thorough reviews of adaptations of birds and mammals to predation have emphasized the complex role that predation threat has played in modifying proximate behaviors such as habitat choice to avoid predator detection, degree and type of vigilance, and group size
and defense, as well as ultimate factors including the evolution of warning systems, coloration, and locomotor patterns.
