This widely dispersed primate population adapts to multiple environmental challenges, from deserts to freezing temperatures. This book details how this genus adapts genetically, hormonally, physically and behaviourally to changing landscapes, with overviews of topics such as behavioural ecology and genetics and short essays on research projects.
