What Do Primatologists Do? - PREVIEW

Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/what-do-primatologists-do.html This film is a combination of slides and video footage, intended to introduce the topic of observing primates and the author of these videos. It is intended to look at a range of ways primates can be studied, illustrated with slides and video taken at Camp Leakey in Kalimantan, Borneo, where Bivut Galdikas has been conducting research in orangutans for over 25 years. The video includes discussion of research done in a colony or enclosure situation, with animals being rehabilitated to the wild, with excaptive animals, wild apes and monkeys in both swamps and dry forests, interspecies interactions, and morphometric studies in which the animals must be restrained.

Infanticide by males is not an evolutionarily stable strategy, though. If this behaviour is advantageous, then it will become highly prevalent in a population, and everyone will be killing everyone's babies. Therefore, not killing infants will become the new adaptive strategy, and this will slowly become dominant again. And there will be a continual oscillation of this behaviour within the population. That is how it seems to me.
