Owl Monkeys Biology, Adaptive Radiation, and Behavioral Ecology of the Only Nocturnal Primate in the Americas /

This book integrates three decades of owl monkey research conducted since 1994 when the first and only book focused on the genus Aotus was published. Owl monkeys were one of the least understood primates then; knowledge from wild populations was only beginning to emerge and there had been some subst...
