These fascinating animals are the focus of this in-depth and comprehensive examination of gorilla biology. Gorilla Biology combines recent research in morphology, genetics and behavioural ecology to reveal the complexity and diversity of gorilla populations. The first section focuses on morphological and molecular variation and underscores the importance of understanding diverse biological patterns at all levels in testing evolutionary and adaptive hypotheses and elucidating subspecies and species diversification. Following are discussions of the ecological constraints that influence gorilla social organization and highlight their surprising flexibility. The book ends with discussions of the conservation status of gorillas and the many and increasing threats to their continued survival. Giving insight into the evolutionary biology of these unique primates, this book will be essential reading for primatologists, anthropologists and evolutionary biologists. 410 0$aCambridge studies in biological and evolutionary anthropology ;$v34. 606 $aGorilla 615 0$aGorilla. 676 $a599.884 702 $aTaylor$b Andrea B$g(Andrea Beth),$f1961- 702 $aGoldsmith$b Michele L$g(Michele Lynn),$f1963- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783229703321 996 $aGorilla biology$93837023 997 $aUNINA
