Primate Behavioral Ecology, 6th Edition, is an introductory textbook by Karen B. Strier that investigates how primates interact with their environments and why these behavioral patterns matter for species conservation.
The volume combines evolutionary, ecological, and demographic frameworks with observations from field research. It links theoretical concepts with empirical findings on primate social behavior, reproduction, and foraging, drawing on foundational field studies alongside research on previously neglected species.
Designed as an introductory resource for students interested in primates, the text highlights the role of behavioral flexibility and addresses how primate populations respond to human-induced ecological pressures.
