With the dramatic increase in behavioral and ecological studies on a great variety of lemur species in the past few decades, our knowledge concerning the adaptation of these charming primates to Madagascar's unpredictable and sometimes harsh environmental conditions has improved significantly. Lemurs: Ecology and Adaptation will be a useful and fascinating source book for researchers and students of primate ecology. 0aLIFE SCIENCES. 0aANIMAL BEHAVIOR. 0aDEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY. 0aANIMAL ECOLOGY. 0aANTHROPOLOGY.14aLIFE SCIENCES.24aANIMAL ECOLOGY.24aBEHAVIOURAL SCIENCES.24aANTHROPOLOGY.24aDEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY.1 aSauther, Michelle L.eeditor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9780387345857 0aDevelopments in Primatology: Progress and Prospect40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-34586-4zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
