Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Discover one of Africa's most mysterious and rarely seen primates in Hamlyn's Monkey Handbook, a professionally written, deeply educational guide to the remarkable owl-faced monkey (Cercopithecus hamlyni). Hidden within the misty montane forests and bamboo ecosystems of Central Africa, Hamlyn's monkey is a species shaped by secrecy, survival intelligence, and complex social living-yet it remains one of the least understood guenons in the world.This handbook delivers a complete, reader-friendly exploration of Hamlyn's monkey biology, behavior, habitat ecology, and conservation reality. It explains how this primate fits into Old World monkey evolution, what makes its anatomy and physical traits uniquely adapted for forest survival, and how geography and climate shape its fragmented populations. Readers will gain detailed insight into troop organization, dominance structure, communication systems, feeding ecology, and the daily routines that keep Hamlyn's monkey safe in highly competitive predator-rich environments.In addition to natural history, this guide provides advanced chapters on health risks, parasites, diseases, and natural mortality, offering a clear picture of the hidden challenges wild populations face. A major highlight of the book is its modern scientific focus, featuring the latest field research approaches including transect surveys, camera traps, acoustic monitoring, GPS and radio telemetry, genetics, DNA barcoding, and environmental DNA (eDNA) detection tools-along with strong ethical protocols for responsible wildlife study.Most importantly, Hamlyn's Monkey Handbook presents the hard truth about captivity: why Hamlyn's monkey is not a pet, the welfare challenges that captivity creates, and the ethical and legal responsibilities tied to primate protection. The book closes with a powerful conservation framework, explaining IUCN status, deforestation threats, bushmeat hunting pressure, climate impacts, and practical solutions-from community-based forest protection to citizen science and global advocacy.Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast, student, researcher, conservation supporter, or primate lover, this handbook offers an authoritative and inspiring journey into the life of one of Africa's most elusive primates-and shows how readers can help ensure its forests, and its future, survive.
