A great deal has been written about primates; however few volumes have focused on an entire community of sympatric monkeys at a single site. Drawing upon diverse sets of data the authors provide a multi-thematic case study of the entire monkey community of the Taï forest (Ivory Coast). Featuring a large section of colour photographs which significantly enhance the behaviours discussed in the text the breadth of this important volume means it will be of interest to a wide variety of primatologists functional anatomists psychologists and behavioural ecologists.
