Abstract
One of the main aims in producing a book of this kind on the ecology and behaviour of a community of primates is to add the dimension of time, which is so often lacking in the published results of field studies, and yet which is so crucial to their interpretation. Having described the behaviour of each species in some detail — in relation to each other and to the environment in which they occur — we should not consider these behaviours, and the weather and trees, over the 10-year period of study and, where possible, try to explain the changes observed.
