Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) have been studied by
primatologists since 1948, and considerable knowledge of the
primate has been accumulated to elucidate the adaptation of the
species over time and to distinct environments in Japan. The
Japanese macaque is especially suited to intragenera and
interpopulation comparative studies of behavior, physiology, and
morphology, and to socioecology studies in general. This book, the
most comprehensive ever published in English on Japanese macaques,
is replete with contributions by leading researchers in field
primatology. Highlighted are topics of intraspecific variations in
the ecology and behaviors of the macaque. Such variations provide
evidence of the ecological determinants on this species' mating and
social behaviors, along with evidence of cultural behavior. The
book also addresses morphology, population genetics, recent habitat
change, and conflicts with humans, and attests to the plasticity
and complex adaptive system of macaque societies. The valuable
information in this volume is recommended reading for researchers
in primatology, anthropology, zoology, animal behavior, and
conservation biology.
