Organized thematically along the developmental trajectory of conception, pregnancy, lactation, the mother-infant dyad, broader social relationships and transitions to independence, this book explores the multigenerational processes of primate development.

This volume examines how high altitude affects the behavior, ecology, evolution and conservation status of primates, especially in comparison to lowland populations. It gives examples of how geographic scales result in diversification and/or speciation.

This is a prospectus to produce a multi-authored volume on Indonesian Primates. The basic goal of the volume is to compile the most up to date research on the behavior, ecology and conservation status of Indonesian primates. Indonesia possesses the second largest primate population in the world, with over 33 different primate species. Although Brazil possesses more primate species, Indonesia outranks it in terms of its diversity of primates, ranging from prosimians (slow lorises and tarsiers), to a multitude of Old World Monkey species (macaques, langurs, proboscis moneys) to lesser apes (siamangs, gibbons) and great apes (orangutans). The primates of Indonesia are distributed throughout the archipelago.
