Problem 1
In primates there is no relation between geographic distribution and abundance at the species level but there is a clear relationship when taxonomic families are considered as the unit of analysis instead of species (Harcourt et al. 2005 ). Suggest why this pattern might occur
Problem 2
In primates there is no relation between geographic distribution and abundance at the species level but there is a clear relationship when taxonomic families are considered as the unit of analysis instead of species (Harcourt et al. 2005 ). Suggest why this pattern might occur for investigating the relationship between distribution and abundance.
Problem 4
Discuss the implications of the relation between distribution and abundance for conservation biology.
