Sociality in a Solitary Primate: How Gregarious is the Slender Loris?
Resonance, 9 (1).
pp. 64-81.
| Abstract: |
Of the 20 or more extant mammalian orders, the order
Primates is surely the most fascinating for us humans, as we
too belong to this order; and the evolution of primate
morphology and behaviour has important bearings on the
development of our own society and culture. Most of us are
familiar with the group-living sociality of the commensal
monkeys and some of the bigger apes like the chimpanzees
and the gorillas. However, another group of primates, the
nocturnal strepsirrhines, which are equally fascinating in
their behaviour and ecology, remain virtually unknown due
to their small size and nocturnal habits. In this article I
discuss the social behaviour of the slender loris, a nocturnal
strepsirrhine found in India. |
