"This volume comprises a collection of articles on a variety of topics relevant to primate genomes, including evolution, human origins, genome structure, chromosome genomics, and bioinformatics. The book covers the cutting-edge research in molecular primatology and provides great insights into the functional diversity of primates. This valuable collection will benefit researchers and students, including primatologists, anthropologists, molecular biologists, evolutionary biologists, and animal behaviorists."

"In this volume, leading field workers report on the history and infrastructure of their projects in Madagascar, Africa, Asia and South America. More importantly, they provide summaries of their long-term research efforts on primate behaviour, ecology and life history, highlighting insights that were only possible because of the long-term nature of the study. The chapters of this volume collectively outline the many scientific reasons for studying primate behaviour, ecology and demography over multiple generations. "

"This paper aims to review some highlights on the effects of environmental stresses on the non-human primate population, particularly, climate change and food limitation that may have resulted in their poor reproductive performance. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists more than a third of the world’s primates as critically endangered or vulnerable. Non-human primates, which are the closest biological relatives of humans, are threatened with extinction from human activities and environmental stress. Deforestation is the main problem that intercalates with climate change. Either, indirectly or directly, those extinction factors could interrupt the physiological basis of reproduction among non-human primates. Researches on other species showed that high ambient temperature causing heat stress had harmed there productive performance by interfering with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Therefore, the survival, conservation and sustainability of nonhuman primates growing in captivity and in the wild, require more works and researches to be done"

"Perilaku Makan Monyet Tonkean (Macaca tonkeana) di Pusat Primata Schmutzer dan Taman Margasatwa Ragunan, Jakarta. Monyet Tonkean adalah salah satu dari tujuh spesies monyet endemik di Pulau Sulawesi. Manajemen pakan di penangkaran harus memperhatikan kualitas, palatabilitas, dan pola perilaku makan hewan. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk membandingkan perilaku makan pada dua kelompok sosial monyet Tonkean di Pusat Primata Schmutzer (SPC) dan Taman Margasatwa Ragunan (RZ) dengan manajemen penangkaran yang berbeda, yang diduga dapat memengaruhi perilaku makan. Ad libitum sampling digunakan untuk mengamati perilaku harian dan hirarki, sementara focal animal sampling digunakan untuk mengamati perilaku makan dan preferensi pakan. Data dikumpulkan dari September 2013 sampai Maret 2014 dengan total 495 jam pengamatan. Terdapat perbedaan yang nyata pada perilaku harian antara dua kelompok monyet Tonkean. Perilaku istirahat dominan dalam kelompok RZ dengan kandang tanpa pengkayaan pakan, sementara perilaku makan lebih umum di kelompok SPC pada kandang dengan pengkayaan pakan. Kelompok SPC menghabiskan waktu makan terbesar adalah untuk mencari pakan, sedangkan memilih, membawa dan menolak lebih besar dalam kelompok RZ. Kedua kelompok monyet Tonkean menunjukkan dominansi individu pada perilaku makan mereka. Makanan yang diberikan di kedua lokasi memiliki keanekaragaman dan nilai preferensi yang berbeda. Seleksi pakan perlu dilakukan berdasarkan nilai preferensi dengan memerhatikan pakan monyet Tonkean di alam. Konstruksi kandang, seperti kandang SPC, mampu mengurangi perilaku abnormal yang ditunjukkan oleh individu.

Tonkean macaques are one of seven endemic macaque species on Sulawesi Island. Feeding management in captivity should pay attention to the quality, palatability, and feeding behavior patterns of animals. The goal of this study was to compare the feeding behavior of two social groups of Tonkean macaques at Schmutzer Primates Center (SPC) and Ragunan Zoo (RZ) with different captive management, which was expected to affect feeding behavior. Ad libitum sampling was used to observe daily behavior and hierarchy, while focal animal sampling was used to observe feeding behavior and feed preference. Data were collected from September 2013 until March 2014 with a total of 495 hours of observations. There were significant differences between the daily behavior of two groups of Tonkean macaques. Resting behavior was dominant in RZ group with non-enrichment feed cage, while feeding behavior was more common in the SPC group with an enrichment feed cage. The SPC group spent most of their feeding time in searching for feed, while choosing, carrying and refusing were greater in the RZ group. Both Tonkean macaque groups showed individual dominance in their feeding behavior. Provisioned feed in both locations had different diversity and preference values. The selection of feed required was based on preference values with attention to Tonkean macaques’ feed in nature. Cage construction, such as the SPC cage, was able to reduce abnormal behavior exhibited by individuals."
