Description: This volume covers aspects of primate exudativory, one of the least common dietary niches among primates. It includes comparisons to marsupial exudate feeders and the chemical characteristics of exudates.
Notes: Result of a symposium of the same name held at the 22nd Congress of the International Primatological Society, 2008, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Cf. acknowledgments.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
