Primates are remarkably adaptable animals that have gone through multiple radiations across a wide range of habitats.Â{u0221}bitats found at high altitudes provide particular challenges for resident primate populations.Â{u0321}ndscapes at high altitudes tend to be less productive than neighboring areas at lower elevations, and also present changes in the structure of flora and fauna, species diversity, and density.Â{u006C}though some of the most unique and unexpected solutions to problems of survival are found in high altitude primates, these populations are often understudied.This volume compiles the most up-to-date research on how a variety of primates (prosimians, monkeys, apes, and even humans) respond to conditions at higher altitudes.
