Description

Neotropical Primates describes and illustrates the species and subspecies of the primates of South America, Central America and Mexico. This region boasts the highest number of primate taxa globally, with 217 species and subspecies in 24 genera across five families.

With an easy-to-use format that is very handy for the field, this new book enables visitors to see at a glance which species are present in the 21 countries of the Neotropical region that have wild primate populations, and it gives pointers that will help in their identification.

The guide covers all the primate species and subspecies that occur naturally in the Neotropics and three African species that have been introduced and are now feral on some of the Caribbean islands, including Barbados, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, Grenada, Saint-Martin/Sint Maarten and Anguilla.

Each species entry includes scientific and common names in English, as well as names in Portuguese, Spanish, French (for species in French Guiana), and Sranan Tongo (for those in Suriname). Additionally, it provides conservation status per the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, key details about habitats and geographic distribution, brief descriptive notes, and, where available, altitudinal range.

Each species account is accompanied by one or more illustrations and a distribution map.

To encourage primate-watching and life-listing, the book includes a complete checklist. This checklist features common names and the countries where each species occurs, allowing you to mark the primates you’ve observed on your personal life list.
