Examining biological diversity in an explicitly evolutionary context has been the subject of
research for several decades, yet relatively recent advances in analytical techniques and the …

A subdiscipline of conservation science involves the study of differences between
threatened and non‐threatened species. The relevance of multispecies analyses of …

Background Understanding the effects of habitat modification on the feeding strategies of
threatened species is essential to designing effective conservation management plans. Bale …

Species vary in their vulnerability to extinction according to their biology, ecology,
environmental factors and threats to which they are exposed. Diet is an important ecological …

Extinction risk varies across species and is influenced by key ecological parameters, such
as diet specialization. For predictive conservation science to be effective, we need to …

Many primates now live in anthropogenic landscapes dominated by human activity such as
agriculture. Conserving primates in such contexts requires detailed information about habitat …

The lemurs of Madagascar are among the most threatened mammalian taxa in the world,
with habitat loss due to shifting cultivation and timber harvest heavily contributing to their …

This study investigates the species–area relationship (SAR) for forest monkeys in a
biodiversity hotspot. The Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania are well‐suited to investigate …

Comparative approaches to the evolution of primate social behavior have typically involved
two distinct lines of inquiry. One has focused on phylogenetic analyses that treat social traits …
