Description
The field of primatology has expanded substantially in the last twenty years, particularly with regard to studies of primates in human-altered landscapes. This text reviews the recent literature on anthropogenic (of human origin) influences on nonhuman primates, bringing an overview of this important area of primatology together for students. Chapters are grouped into three sections, representing the many ways anthropogenic influences affect primate populations. The first section, ‘Human Influences on Primate Habitat’, covers ways in which wild primates are still affected by human actions, including forest fragmentation, disease transmission, and the risks from roads. Section two, ‘Primates in Human-Dominated Landscape’, looks at situations where non-human primates and humans share space; this includes urban primates, ecotourism, and primates in acgroecosystems. The final section, ‘Primates in Captivity’, looks at primate behaviour and welfare in captive situations, including zoos, rescue centers, and the primate pet trade.
