Cuprins
Foreword; Acknowledgements; 1. Introduction: overview of lorises and pottos; Part I. Evolution, Morphology and Fossil Record: 2. Sluggards and drunkards? A history of the discovery and description of the Afro-Asian lorisidae; 3. What we know (and don't know) about the fossil records of lorisids; 4. Outliers: have lorisids moved beyond touch?; 5. Molecular advances in lorisid taxonomy and phylogeny; 6. The toothcomb of Karanisia Clarki: how does exudate-feeding fit into the ecology of this loris-like basal strepsirrhine?; 7. The soft-tissue anatomy of the highly derived hand of perodicticus relative to the more generalised nycticebus; 8. Making scents of olfactory sensitivity in lorises and pottos; 9. Allometric and phylogenetic diversity in lorisiform orbit orientation; 10. The evolution of social organisation in lorisiformes; 11. Biomechanics of loris locomotion; 12. What role did gum-feeding play in the evolution of the lorises?; Part II. Ecology and Captive Management: 13. Nutrition of lorisiformes; 14. Seeing in the dark: visual function and ecology of lorises and pottos; 15. Thermoregulation in lorises; 16. Home range, activity budgets and habitat use in the Bengal slow loris (Nycticebus Bengalensis) in Bangladesh; 17. Behaviour of pottos and angwantibos; 18. Positional behaviour and substrate preference of slow lorises, with a case study of nycticebus Bengalensis; 19. Sexual differences in feeding and foraging of released Philippine slow lorises; 20. Ranging patterns of the pygmy slow loris (Nycticebus Pygmaeus) in a mixed deciduous forest in Eastern Cambodia; 21. Utilising current and historical zoo records to provide insight into the captive biology of rarely kept pottos and angwantibos; 22. Mother-infant behaviours in greater slow loris (nycticebus coucang) dyads consisting of mothers pregnant at confiscation and their sanctuary-born infants; 23. Husbandry and reproductive management recommendations for captive lorises and pottos (nycticebus, loris, and perodicticus); Part III. Research, Trade and Conservation: 24. Trapping, collaring and monitoring the lorisinae of Asia (loris, nycticebus) and perodicticinae (arctocebus, perodicticus) of Africa; 25. Evaluation of field techniques used to assess populations of pottos and lorises; 26. Occupancy modelling as a method to study slender loris density; 27. Using accelerometers to measure nocturnal primate behaviour; 28. Distribution and conservation status of slow lorises in Indo-China; 29. Wildlife trade research methods for lorises and pottos; 30. Online imagery and loris conservation; 31. Slow lorises as photo props on Instagram; 32. Integrating science and puppetry to inspire teenagers in rural Asia to value slow lorises; 33. Developing a rescue and rehabilitation centre as a reaction to the extensive illegal wildlife trade in slow lorises; References; Index.
Recenzii
'As is made abundantly clear in this volume, and I know well from my own experience, nocturnal primates are never easy to study in the wild; in addition, pottos and lorises are rarely kept in captivity. Nevertheless, the editors have managed to gather together an impressive array of work from over 70 authors, covering a large number of topics ranging from the fossil record of these species to their conservation, through morphology, ecology, trade and many other subjects. In spite of all the information in this book, it also illustrates how much more research is needed on individual species in different field sites to ensure the conservation of these small, elusive, but fascinating, nocturnal creatures.' Caroline S. Harcourt, Nocturnal Primate Research Group (Oxford Brookes University) and Folia Primatologica
'This volume provides a great deal of new information about these extraordinary primates, but even more it emphasizes how much remains to be done.' John G. Fleagle, The Quarterly Review of Biology
'This volume does rate as essential reading for anyone interested in the lorises, and the highly practically oriented conservation section for anyone with an interest in primate conservation.' Robin Crompton, The Primate Eye
