The papers in this volume are representative of those presented at
a conference entitled "Creatures of the Dark: The Nocturnal
Prosimians," held at Duke University, June 9-12, 1993. The purpose
of the conference, attended by more than 100 scientists, was to
assemble, for the ftrst time ever, scholars from diverse ftelds
with a common interest in the nocturnal prosimian primates. The
history of the precursors of this meeting are outlined in the
Historical Perspective by Doyle (this volume). Most of the invited
papers are presented here in modified form, as are several papers
originally presented as posters. Two papers are included that were
not presented, due to scheduling conftcts and health
considerations. Some papers, delivered from the podium, are not
included in this volume. Interactions among conference participants
resulted in many revisions to the contributions, as did the
comments of reviewers and the editors. Several papers which
contained new data or new interpretations of familiar phenomena met
with constructive criticism, resulting in modification of the
original papers. We thank all of the contributors for their
patience and cooperation, and commend the numerous reviewers who
generously donated their time and expertise. We greatly appreciate
funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Wenner Gren
Foundation for Anthropological Research, the Duke University Center
for International Studies, the Duke University Primate Center, and
Drs. Charles Putman of Duke University and Malcolm Gillis,
currently of Rice Universtiy."
