Förlagets beskrivning
For the past three decades the mountain gorillas of Karisoke Research
Center have been the subject of many studies focusing on their behaviour and
ecology. Long-term observations on known individuals, from birth to death, and
data on social behaviour within and between groups have led to an understanding
of many aspects of gorilla social structure. The findings have made significant
contributions to models of comparative primate behavioural ecology. Mountain
gorillas have also been the focus of intense conservation efforts, which have
become a model for conservation programs elsewhere. While most research has
focused on mountain gorillas, data on the other two recognised subspecies have
increased over the past twenty years. This book highlights and summarises some
of the behavioural, ecological and conservation work on mountain gorillas, and
makes comparisons with findings from other study sites. It represents the most
up-to-date and diverse collection of information available on this endangered
ape. Summary of 30 years research on mountain gorillas at Karisoke Research
Center in Rwanda.
