Howler monkeys (genus Alouatta) comprise twelve species of leaf-eating New World monkeys that range from southern Mexico through northern Argentina. This genus is the most widespread of any New World primate taxa, and can be found to inhabit a range of forest types from undisturbed rainforest to severely anthropogenically impacted forest fragments. Although there have been many studies on individual species of howler monkeys, this book is the first comprehensive volume to place information on howler behavior and biology within a theoretical framework of ecological and social adaptability. This is the second of two volumes devoted to the genus Alouatta. This volume: · Examines behavioral and physiological mechanisms that enable howler monkeys to exploit highly disturbed and fragmented habitats · Presents models of howler monkey diet, social organization, and mating systems that can also inform researchers studying Old World colobines, apes, and other tropical mammals These goals are achieved in a collection of chapters written by a distinguished group of scientists on the feeding ecology, behavior, mating strategies, and management and conservation of howlers. This book also contains chapters on the howler microbiome, the concept of behavioral variability, sexual selection, and the role of primates in forest regeneration.

This book of photography represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major cross-platform initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world's animals -- especially those that are endangered. His message: to know these animals is to save them. Sartore intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the world. He is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. He has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, this book presents an argument for saving all the species of our planet.

Howler monkeys are the largest among the monkeys in the New World and they are distributed across the tropical forests of Central and South America. A total of 10 different species have been recognized; they include the red howler, red-handed howler, black-and-gold howler, Coiba Island howler, red-and-black howler, Guyana red howler, Bolivian red howler, black howler, Amazon black howler and mantled howler. The howlers have amazing prehensile tails and its fun to watch them feeding while hanging upside down by their tails. The author, a field primatologist with three decades of field research experience from Asia, Africa and South America, has studied two species of howler monkeys such as the red howlers in Venezuela and Trinidad, and the black-and-gold howlers in Argentina. In this monograph, the author has synthesized his long-term field research and presented data on ecology, social behavior and conservation. This monograph can serve as an introductory and reference text on primatology and animal behavior related courses in colleges, universities and institutes of higher learning globally.
