The gibbons: new perspectives on small ape socioecology and population biology

This volume will consist of an edited compilation of papers describing recentresearch on the socioecology, population biology, and conservation status of the small apes. As such, it will serve as a reference resource for researchersand students interested in the small apes specifically, as well as researchers interested in the gibbon perspective on a number of theoretical issues in primatology (e.g. mating systems, feeding ecology, biogeography, and conservation biology). As the volume will include research results from a diversity of small ape taxa, it will be useful for researchers interested in the diversity ofadaptations displayed within the gibbon radiation, as well as those interested in specific taxa. The volume will be edited for internal consistency and clarity, and will be usable both as a compilation of individual articles and as asingle document outlining the current state of research on wild gibbon populations.
