Dispersal in primates: Variation in patterns and causes.

Pablo Polo Rodrigo

Abstract


In the animal kingdom, dispersal represents a critical decision as it affects survival and reproductive success, and is also an important component of population dynamics. This article looks at dispersal pattern variation in primates and some of the underlying reasons, both proximate and root causes.
