A great deal has been written about primates; however few volumes
have focused on an entire community of sympatric monkeys at a
single site. Drawing upon diverse sets of data, the authors provide
a multi-thematic case study of the entire monkey community of the
Tai forest (Ivory Coast). Much of the book explores how the seven
monkey species have adapted to hunting pressures from chimpanzees,
leopards, crowned eagles and humans. Other themes covered include
feeding ecology, social behaviour, positional behaviour and habitat
use, vocal communication and conservation. Colour photographs of
all species are provided, showing the major behavioural
characteristics of each, as little is known about these West
African monkeys. This scientifically important volume will be of
interest to a broad audience including primatologists, functional
anatomists, psychologists, and behavioural ecologists.
