Non-equilibrium dynamics in primate populations: their implications for conservation and the study of primate evolution.

Conférence de Colin Chapman, McGill University and Wildlife Conservation Society, New York.

Résumé
When the biology of declining populations of primates in the wild is carefully studied, it is apparent that underlying the dynamics is a complex set of interactions arising from non-equilibrium states. Only by understanding non-equilibrium dynamics can we make meaningful predictions about population change beyound what is intuitively obvious, therefore. This observation has implications for primate conservation efforts as well as for the study of primate evolution.
