Primate craniofacial function and biology

Primate craniofacial function and biology / Chris Vinyard, Matthew J. Ravosa, Christine Wall, editors.

Covers the research on primate craniofacial biology and function. This work includes introductory chapters discussing how primatologists study adaptations in primates and a discussion of in vivo approaches for studying primate performance.
