Current topics in primate vocal communication /

Show other versions (1)

Current Topics in Primate Vocal Communication is the first compilation of evolution-oriented research on the vocal communication abilities of non human primates. Contributions examine a broad array of different primate groups, ranging from the most archaic primates such as lemurs, loris, and bushbab...
