Primates in fragments : complexity and resilience

Primates in fragments : complexity and resilience / Laura K. Marsh, Colin A. Chapman, editors.

This book is number two in a series for Primates in Fragments. In this volume, ten years after the first, we continue to address issues regarding primates within a fractured landscape. There are seven sections based on specific categories of primates in fragments. In the Introductory section, author...
