Features + Benefits

Presents Original Case Studies – Essays are organized into four sections with overlapping focus: Starting Out, Social Complexities, Comparative Lenses, and Changes with Time. This arrangement highlights particular aspects of the narrative. An appendix provides cross-listings by regions, species studies, and key themes and concepts, identifying connections among chapters and alternate ways of sorting the material.

Integrates the Human Dimensions of Primate Research – Interactions with researchers are examined to show the influence of humans on primate field research. An emphasis on ethical and conservation concerns demonstrate the increasingly important role that primate field researchers are playing in helping to protect primates and their habitats from extinction.

Discusses Methodologies of Field Researchers – Primatologists discuss methodological approaches used to test hypotheses and to advance understanding of primates. The material also covers the social and ecological contexts in which primate-related discoveries have been made.

Illustrates Topics Discussed – Over 80 photographs of primates and primate researchers appear throughout the book. Maps of field sites accompany their respective essays.

She is an international authority on the endangered northern muriqui monkey, which she has been studying in the Brazilian Atlantic forest since 1982. Her pioneering research has been critical to conservation efforts on behalf of this species, and has been influential in broadening comparative perspectives on primate behavioral and ecological diversity. Her contributions have been recognized by her election as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and as a member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is the recipient of an Honorary Degree (Doctorate of Science) from the University of Chicago and the Distinguished Primatologist Awards from both the American Primatological Society and the Midwestern Primate Interest Group. She has received various awards from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, including the Graduate School's faculty research awards series, a Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award, and a Hilldale Award for Excellence in Research, Teaching, and Service. She has also been honored with a Lifetime Honorary Membership to the Brazilian Primatological Society. Before joining the faculty at UW-Madison in 1989, she was a Lecturer in Anthropology at Harvard University and an assistant professor at Beloit College.
