Reviews

Listed in New Titles Section Bioscience Sept 2010 I found it easy to locate information due to the very clear structure and adequate cross-referenceing. Thankfully, space is also used for illustrations of calls or swellings. The appendixes are clear compilations of facts. This book will further our search for answers for decades to come. I could not have wished for more. -- Carola Borries, Anthropology, Stony Book University, Stony Book, New York

Author Information

Thomas T. Struhsaker began his research in Africa in 1962 with a study of the behavioural ecology of vervet monkeys. Since then he has conducted biological field studies in 13 African nations and numerous countries in Latin America and Asia. From 1970 until 1988 he established, developed, and managed the field research station in Kibale, Uganda. His lobbying efforts in collaboration with many others eventually resulted in the creation of the Kibale National Park. Working in collaboration with numerous colleagues, he helped establish research and conservation programs of red Colobus, other primates, and forest ecology at 3 other important sites in East Africa: Tana River, Kenya; Jozani, Zanzibar; and the Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania. His publications include two books: The Red Colobus Monkey (1975) and Ecology of an African Rain Forest (1997), and numerous scientific and popular articles and technical reports on ecology, conservation, and animal behaviour.
