product description

Description

A unique volume, collating data on existing ecological knowledge and current conservation practices of the most diverse mammal assemblage in the world.

A book that is a collation of existing knowledge and a practical guide to the priorities of future research both geographically and in terms of animal groups and topics.

A dynamic guide to research needs and priorities that can be used by ecologists, conservationists, government and stakeholders, and mammalogists to help direct and shape their own research programmes and projects.

About the Author
Wilson R. Spironello has published nearly 70 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and has peer-reviewed for journals with ecology and conservation focus. He has a degree in Ecology from Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho, Brazil, and PhD in Biology from University of Cambridge, England. He is currently a researcher at National Institute of Amazonian Research - INPA, in the Brazilian Amazon. In a 40-year research career in the Amazon, his studies have included plant ecology, ecology and management of timber species, primate ecology, and the ecology and population monitoring of medium and large terrestrial and arboreal mammals. He was president of the Brazilian Society of Primatology from 2014-2015.
Adrian A. Barnett has co-edited two previous multi-author mammal conservation books, has published nearly 150 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, has acted as editor on a special issue of American Journal of Primatology, and peer-reviewed for 38 academic journals. He has a degree in Zoology from Oxford and a PhD in primatology from Roehampton University, England. He is currently a member of the ecology and botany departments at the National Institute of Amazonian Research - INPA, Manaus, AM. He has worked in the Brazilian Amazon for 30 years and had published on the ecology and conservation of primates, rodents, aquatic mammals and bats of the region.
Jessica W. Lynch is a Professor at University of California, Los Angeles in the Institute for Society and Genetics and Department of Anthropology, where she teaches courses on Amazonia in the Anthropocene; Human-Animal Interactions; and Primate Genetics, Ecology and Conservation. She received her Ph.D. in Biological Anthropology at University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is a member of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group and Editor-In-Chief for the journal Neotropical Primates. Lynch's expertise centers on the evolution of behavioral and morphological diversity in mammals in the Americas. Her research focuses most strongly on understanding the diversity within capuchin monkeys (Sapajus and Cebus), and incorporates phylogenomic and biogeographic analyses.
Paulo Estefano D. Bobrowiec is a bat researcher at the National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA) and the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) who has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He undertook a BSc in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Uberlândia, a PhD in Genetics, Conservation and Evolutionary Biology, both at INPA, and a second PhD in Zoology at the Federal University of Amazonas. He has worked in the Brazilian Amazon for 22 years and his main area of expertise is bat ecology, community structure and conservation (forest fragmentation and dams flooding).
Sarah A. Boyle has conducted research on the behavior, ecology, and conservation of Amazonian mammals, with a focus on non-human primates, for the past 20 years. She has published more than 50 scientific articles and book chapters. She has a degree in Anthropology from the College of William and Mary, Virginia, USA and a PhD in Biology from Arizona State University, Arizona, USA.
