Evolutionary Biology and Conservation of Titis, Sakis and Uacaris (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology, Series Number 65) - Hardcover

Bringing together every major expert in the field, this book is the first detailed collation of the evolution, ecology and conservation of the pitheciines, some of the oddest and least-known monkeys in South America. It provides authoritative topic reviews and insights into current research that encompass all four pitheciine genera.
