Behavioral Flexibility in Primates: Causes and Consequences (Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects), by Clara B. Jones. 2011. Springer. 208pp. ISBN: 9781441936028. With numerous figures, illustrations, and tables; this book emphasizes upon both behavioral and cognitive mechanisms, conceptually unifying primatology and the other evolutionary sciences, developing novel perspectives, and integrating new literature and concepts into primatology. Contents: 1. Introduction to intraindividual variation of primate behavior; 2. The costs and benefits of behavioral flexibility to inclusive fitness: dispersal as an option in heterogeneous regimes; 3. Primate signatures and behavioral flexibility in heterogeneous regimes; 4. Social cognition and behavioral flexibility: categorical decisionmaking as a primate signature; 5. Female primates as “energy-maximizers” in heterogeneous regimes; 6. Male primates “time-minimizers” in heterogeneous regimes; 7. Intersexual interactions in heterogeneous regimes: potential effects of antagonistic coevolution in primate groups; 8. Sociosexual organization and the expression of behavioral flexibility; 9. Behavioral flexibility: interpretations and prospects.
Primate Biogeography: Progress and Prospects (Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects), edited by S. M. Lehman & J. G. Fleagle. 2010. Springer. 546pp. ISBN: 978-1441940087. This book highlights the many factors that may influence the distribution of primates, and reveals the wide range of approaches that are available to understanding the distribution of this order. The biogeography of primates in the past is a major component of our understanding of their evolutionary history and is an essential component of conservation biology. Contents: 1.

Conservation Refugees: The Hundred-Year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples, by M. Dowie. 2011. The MIT Press. 371pp. ISBN: 978-0262516006. This book describes how native peoples have been displaced from their lands in the name of nature conservation. It also discusses issues as differing definitions of “nature” and “wilderness,” the need for Western scientists to respect and honor traditional lifeways, and the need for native peoples to blend their traditional knowledge with the knowledge of modern ecology.
