About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book is well edited and informative, and addresses theoretical issues actively being explored by prosimian biologists today. … this book is overall an interesting volume of conference proceedings – helpful for students, lecturers, laboratory and field researchers, and for those who seek a specific reference or a first overview of a certain topic.” (E. Johanna Rode, Folia Primatologica, Vol. 85 (1), 2014)
“This book presents current knowledge and perspectives on the future relating to various domains of prosimian biology in the form of short and readable chapters. … This volume will benefit not only prosimian biologists but also all primatologists, researchers focused on small mammals, and conservation biologists. The studies in this book provide the fundamentals for the next decade of prosimian biology.” (Hiroki Sato, Primates, December, 2013)
