The purpose of this volume is to present a comprehensive overview
of recent advances in primate field research, ecology, and
conservation biology in Mesoamerica. The overall goal of each
contribution is to integrate newly collected field data with
theoretical perspectives drawn from evolutionary biology,
socioecology, biological anthropology, and conservation to identify
how our current knowledge of primate behavior and ecology has moved
beyond more traditional approaches. A corollary to this, and an
important goal of the volume is to identify geographical regions
and species for which we continue to lack sufficient information,
to develop action plans for future research, and to identify areas
for immediate conservation action. Despite many decades of primate
research in Mesoamerica, much is still unknown concerning the basic
ecology and behavior of these species, demography, current
distribution, and conservation status of local populations, and the
effectiveness of conservation policies on primate survivorship.
Four major areas of research are the focus of the volume:
Evolutionary Biology and Biogeography; Population Demography and
Ecology; Behavior; and Conservation and Management Policies.
