Description:

Stuart A. Altmann presents the results of one of the most intensive investigations ever carried out on foraging behavior and its consequences for survival and reproduction. "This book is destined to become a classic in primate feeding behavior. It is exhaustive and a pleasure to read, and it sets the standard for amalgamation of modeling theory and ecological observation."--Joanna E. Lambert, American Scientist "The gold standard for research on naturalistic behavior and ecology of primates."--Peter S. Rodman, American Journal of Primatology
