Kritik
"Howler monkeys are among the best studied and most successful adaptive radiations of Neotropical primates. ... This volume ... exemplifies that approach by focusing on howler monkeys' evolution and morphology, and changing views of their systematics. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty." (L. K. Sheeran, Choice, Vol. 52 (11), July, 20115)mehr
