This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic
perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular …

The mammalian brain is composed of numerous functionally distinct structures that vary in
size within and between clades, reflecting selection for sensory and cognitive specialization …

Objectives We characterized the diet and foraging ecology of the black‐and‐white ruffed
lemur (Varecia variegata), a specialized frugivore, and investigated behavioral strategies …

Primates have relatively larger brains than other mammals even though brain tissue is
energetically costly. Comparative studies of variation in cognitive skills allow testing of …

The urgent need for effective wildlife monitoring solutions in the face of global biodiversity
loss has resulted in the emergence of conservation technologies such as passive acoustic …

Species with greater expression of fission-fusion dynamics show greater variability in the
size, composition, and cohesion of subgroups over time. This may allow their adjustment to …

In species with flexible grouping dynamics (ie, fission-fusion), party (or subgroup) size is
often shaped by available resources. Food resources are thought to limit party size in a …

As climate change continues to fundamentally alter resource landscapes, the ability to
flexibly respond to spatio-temporal changes in the distribution of preferred food sources is …

Nest site selection is at once fundamental to reproduction and a poorly understood
component of many organisms' reproductive investment. This study investigates the nesting …

In recent decades Madagascar has experienced significant habitat loss and modification,
with minimal understanding of how human land use practices have impacted the evolution …
