''Formidable' comes to mind in thinking about this Volume … the
editors' timely strategy of maximal coverage has generated a wealth
of valuable information, much of it written by researchers from 20
countries where primates actually live.' Alfred L. Rosenberger, The
Quarterly Review of Biology
'… I would strongly advocate for Primates in Flooded Habitats
because of its scope, novelty, and amount of knowledge presented.'
Thibaud Gruber, Conservation Biology
