Furry and wide-eyed, lorises and pottos are small, nocturnal
primates inhabiting African, Asian and Southeast Asian tropical and
subtropical forests. Their likeable appearance, combined with their
unusual adaptations - from a marked reduction of the tail to their
mostly slow, deliberate locomotion, powerful grasping and, in some
species, a venomous bite - has led to a significant rise in
research interest in the family Lorisidae over the last decade.
Furthermore, lorises in particular have featured frequently in
international media largely due to illegal trade, for example as
pets. This is the first volume to present a full picture of the
breadth of research being undertaken on lorisids to aid future
studies as well as conservation efforts. Focusing on five key
topics: evolutionary biology, ecomorphology, behavioural ecology,
captive management and conservation, this book is a vital read for
graduate students and researchers in primatology, biological
anthropology, evolutionary biology, animal behaviour and
conservation.
