Comparative Primate Socioecology

Comparative studies have become both more frequent and more impor-

tantasameansforunderstandingthe biology,behaviourandevolutionof

mammals. Primates have complex social relationships and diverse ecolo-

gies, and represent a large species radiation. This book draws together a

wide range of experts from ﬁelds as diverse as reproductive biology and

foraging energetics to place recent ﬁeld research into a synthetic perspec-

tive. The chapters tackle controversial issues in primate biology and

behaviour, including the role of brain expansion and infanticide in the

evolution of primate behavioural strategies. The book also presents an

overview of comparative methodologies as applied to recent primate

researchthatwillprovidenew approachesto comparativeresearch.Itwill

be of particular interest to primatologists, behavioural ecologists and

those interested in the evolution of human social behaviour.

P.C. Lee is a lecturer in Biological Anthropology at the University of

Cambridge and Fellow of Downing College. She began ﬁeld work on

baboons in 1975 and has maintained an interest in the socioecology and

behaviour of primates and other large mammals ever since. She has

written numerous papers and has co-edited three previous volumes on

primates — Primate Evolution , Primate Ecology and Conservation and

Primate Ontogeny, Cognition and Behaviour (all 1986) — and has co-

authored The Threatened Primates of Africa (1988).
