Woolly monkeys are large, attractive and widespread primates found
throughout many parts of the Amazon basin. It is only in the last
twenty-five years or so that long-term studies of woollies in their
forest habitat have been successful; they have not generally been
successfully kept in captivity. But now, especially because of
their size, these creatures are pressed on all sides by bush meat
hunters and forest fragmentation. Their future is becoming
critically precarious and the editors feel that it is time to
showcase these animals with a full book. The editors draw together
a number of recent woolly monkey studies from three Amazonian
countries, including five taxa of woolly monkeys, four of which
have recently been reclassified without using new biological
criteria as species rather than subspecies (Groves, 2001, 2005;
Rylands & Mittermeier, 2009). This volume provides a diversity
of studies by well-known researchers and advanced students on a
wide range of subjects using newly generated data, including a
criticism of the recent taxonomic changes. The varied information
contained within The Woolly Monkey: Behavior, Ecology, Systematics
and Captive Research will help readers understand these handsome
animals and will, we hope, energize them to contribute to their
conservation.
