Impending extinction crisis of the world's primates: Why primates matter
Nonhuman primates, our closest biological relatives, play important roles in the livelihoods,
cultures, and religions of many societies and offer unique insights into human evolution …

Advances in monitoring and modelling climate at ecologically relevant scales
Most ecological studies of the effects of climate on species are based on average conditions
above ground level (measured by meteorological stations) averaged across 100 km 2 or …
