She was Director of the Karisoke Research Center from 1993 to 1994. ![]() Her research interests lie in male–male competition, male–female relationships, and female mate choice. P S is Associate Professor of Primatology at the University of Calgary. Her research currently focuses on the behavioral ecology and reproductive strategies of the gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. ![]() R is Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig. Aimed at graduate students and researchers in primatology and behavioral ecology, it will also appeal to all those interested in gorilla conservation, and represents the most up-to-date and diverse collection of information available on this endangered ape. This book highlights and summarizes some of the behavioral, ecological, and conservation work on mountain gorillas, and makes comparisons with findings from other study sites. While most of what we know about the genus Gorilla is based on mountain gorillas, data on the other two recognized subspecies have increased over the past 20 years. Mountain gorillas have also been the focus of intense conservation efforts, which have become a model for conservation programs elsewhere. The findings have made significant contributions to models of comparative primate behavioral ecology. Long-term observations on known individuals, from birth to death, as well as data on social behavior within and between groups have led to an understanding of many aspects of the social system of gorillas. Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology 27 Mountain Gorillasįor the past three decades the mountain gorillas of Karisoke Research Center have been the subject of many studies focusing on their behavior and ecology. ![]()
