Primatologists have long viewed small fruiting trees, like figs, as
the reason for gibbons' territorial and monogamous behavior.
However, at Khao Yai National Park in Thailand where gibbons are
prevalent, figs are one of the largest trees in the forest. In this
long-term field study, Bartlett addresses this apparent
contradiction and follows gibbons as their major food sources
fluctuate over time. The titles in the Primate Field Studies series
impart the comprehensive results of long-term field studies to a
broad audience at a critical time. Long-term field studies often
have a cohesive story to tell which encompasses many different
topics, from group size and food distribution, to social behavior,
reproduction, and demography. The comprehensive and accessible
monographs can supplement textbooks, or may be used as a
stand-alone text in upper-level primatology courses.

and wane over time.This is an important reference on gibbons and
the study of small apes which provides a thorough, expansive
coverage of the relationship between fruit abundance and diet,
range use, and intergroup interactions in Gibbon apes. The Gibbons
of Khao Yai: Seasonal Variation in Behavior and Ecology provides an
essential resource for students conducting research in this field.
