Reviews
“This work absolutely is essential for graduate training in primatology. More broadly, because primate diets and ecology are better understood than those of any other mammalian order, the findings are relevant to understanding the feeding ecology of Mammalia. As a professional, I will have a copy on my shelf and will consult it often. This is one of the best and most tightly themed science books I have seen. It will be cited repeatedly and will be a gateway for the study of primate dietary ecology.” -- Richard Frederick Kay, Department of Evolutionary Anthropology, Duke University “How Primates Eat is, at the same time, a masterly synthesis of current knowledge of primate nutritional ecology, a celebration of all that has been achieved over the last 50 years, and a road map for future research.” -- T. H. Clutton-Brock, from the foreword “This is an amazing book. . . . Where once the study of primate feeding (and, with rare exceptions, it was mainly just that) meant collecting observations of behavior, today it (routinely, I’m tempted to say) encompasses energetics and nutrition, hormones and microbiomes, phytochemistry and physiology as well. . . . The journey is far from over, as the editors signal in their preface, but this book is surely a major milestone along the way.” -- Alison Richard, from the afterword
