About the editors
Adrian A. Barnett has co-edited two previous multi-author mammal conservation books, has published nearly 150 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, has acted as editor on a special issue of American Journal of Primatology, and peer-reviewed for 38 academic journals. He has a degree in Zoology from Oxford and a PhD in primatology from Roehampton University, England. He is currently a member of the ecology and botany departments at the National Institute of Amazonian Research - INPA, Manaus, AM. He has worked in the Brazilian Amazon for 30 years and had published on the ecology and conservation of primates, rodents, aquatic mammals and bats of the region.
Jessica W. Lynch is a Professor at University of California, Los Angeles in the Institute for Society and Genetics and Department of Anthropology, where she teaches courses on Amazonia in the Anthropocene; Human-Animal Interactions; and Primate Genetics, Ecology and Conservation. She received her Ph.D. in Biological Anthropology at University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is a member of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group and Editor-In-Chief for the journal Neotropical Primates. Lynch’s expertise centers on the evolution of behavioral and morphological diversity in mammals in the Americas. Her research focuses most strongly on understanding the diversity within capuchin monkeys (Sapajus and Cebus), and incorporates phylogenomic and biogeographic analyses.
Paulo Estefano D. Bobrowiec is a bat researcher at the National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA) and the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) who has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He undertook a BSc in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Uberlândia, a PhD in Genetics, Conservation and Evolutionary Biology, both at INPA, and a second PhD in Zoology at the Federal University of Amazonas. He has worked in the Brazilian Amazon for 22 years and his main area of expertise is bat ecology, community structure and conservation (forest fragmentation and dams flooding).
Sarah A. Boyle has conducted research on the behavior, ecology, and conservation of Amazonian mammals, with a focus on non-human primates, for the past 20 years. She has published more than 50 scientific articles and book chapters. She has a degree in Anthropology from the College of William and Mary, Virginia, USA and a PhD in Biology from Arizona State University, Arizona, USA.
