PDF-(BOOK)-Spider Monkeys: Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of the Genus Ateles (Cambridge

Spider monkeys are one of the most widespread New World primate genera ranging from southern Mexico to Bolivia Although they are common in zoos spider monkeys are traditionally very difficult to study in the wild because they are fast moving live high in the canopy and are almost always found in small subgroups that vary in size and composition throughout the day The past decade has seen an expansion in research being carried out on this genus and this book is an assimilation of both published and previously unpublished research It is a comprehensive source of information for academic researchers and graduate students interested in primatology evolutionary anthropology and behavioral ecology and covers topics such as taxonomy diet sexuality and reproduction and conservation.

Evolution the word, has several meanings. Evolution – gradual change to improve or become more complex - change.

This comprehensive synthesis of current medical and evolutionary literature addresses key questions about the role body fat plays in human biology. It explores how body energy stores are regulated, how they develop over the life-course, what biological functions they serve, and how they may have evolved. There is now substantial evidence that human adiposity is not merely a buffer against the threat of starvation, but is also a resource for meeting the energy costs of growth, reproduction and immune function. As such it may be considered as important in our species evolution as other traits such as bipedalism, large brains, and long life spans and developmental periods. Indeed, adiposity is integrally linked with these other traits, and with our capacity to colonise and inhabit diverse ecosystems. It is because human metabolism is so sensitive to environmental cues that manipulative economic forces are now generating the current obesity epidemic.
