Primate Nutrition and Ecology

Primate nutrition and ecology is the study of the ways in which primates – including humans – use food and other resources to meet their nutritional needs and survive in their natural environment. This field of study is important for understanding the evolution of primates and the impacts of humans on their environment. Primate nutrition and ecology research can help inform policy and conservation strategies related to the protection of primate habitats, and it can also help inform strategies for improving nutrition within human populations.
