Keywords:
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.

Recenzijas

This is the first volume devoted to the study of woolly monkey systematics, ecology, behavior, and conservation. Defler (National Univ. of Colombia) and Stevenson (Univ. of the Andes) have assembled a series of contributions by leading primatologists that provide an excellent overview of the current knowledge of the species. Overall, this volume is a critical resource for students and scholars with a serious interest in New World primates. Summing Up: Essential. Primatology collections serving upper-division undergraduates and above. (T. Harrison, Choice, Vol. 52 (8), April, 2015)
