Summary
In this chapter we briefly review the burgeoning field of ecological niche modeling and explore its relevance to studies of primate ecology, evolution, and conservation. Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in ecological niche models, spurred on by the increasing availability of occurrence data and spatially explicit environmental data, as well as GIS tools and technologies appropriate for processing the increasingly high-resolution and multidimensional data typical of this field.
