Description: The Print Version of The Multimedia Guide to the Non-Human Primates contains all the printable material from the CD-ROM version. It may be used as a primary instruction tool or as a reference for instructors and students. It presents the natural history of each of the more than 200 species of non-human primates juxtaposed with images of the species and a map of their distribution. Three major headings - Attributes, Ecology, and Social Behavior - provide easy access to detailed information. The material is structured so it can be used in lectures, for assignments and self-directed learning, or as a reference for basic research work. It features 200+ species of non-human primates; a range of information such as fossil records, physical features, conservation, food and diet, taxonomy, the life cycle, communication, and social dynamics; an image of the species and a map of their distribution; two bibliographies for easy reference: one that is specific to each species and a general bibliography located at the back of the text; a pronunciation guide that teaches students how to pronounce the Latin name of each species; and a glossary of terms that appear in the text.
