Leaping Ahead: Advances in Prosimian Biology presents a summary of
the state of prosimian biology as we move into the second decade of
the 21st century. The book covers a wide range of topics, from
assessments of diversity and evolutionary scenarios, through
ecophysiology, cognition, behavioral and sensory ecology, to the
conservation and survival prospects of this extraordinary and
diverse group of mammals. The collection was inspired by an
international conference in Ithala, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in
2007, where prosimian biologists gathered from Canada, Finland,
France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Madagascar, South Africa,
Tanzania, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The
meeting reverberated with the passion prosimian researchers feel
for their study subjects and with their deep concern for the future
of prosimians in the face of ongoing habitat destruction and the
burgeoning threat of bushmeat hunting. Chapters for this volume
were contributed by researchers from across the globe; they attest
to the diversity, vibrancy and rapid growth of prosimian biology,
and to the intellectual advances that have revolutionized this
field in recent years. Since its earliest beginnings, prosimian
research and its resultant literature have had a strong francophone
component, and researchers in many prosimian habitat countries are
more comfortable reading and writing in French rather than English.
French summaries of all chapters have been included. The volume is
targeted at researchers, both those entering the field and
established scientists, who have an interest in the biology of
primates and small mammals. It is also aimed at conservation
biologists seeking a deeper understanding of the faunas and
conservation developments in Africa, Madagascar and Southeast Asia,
and anyone who has an interest in discovering the true diversity of
our order, the Primates.
