Acknowledgments

I thank Susan Lappan for the invitation to contribute to this volume and for her helpful comments on the manuscript. My research in Thailand would not have been possible without the support and guidance of Warren Brockelman. Funding for this work was provided by Fulbright, National Science Foundation, Boise Fund, Sigma Xi, The American Society of Primatologists, and Washington University. I am grateful to the Royal Thai Forest Department, National Parks Division and the National Research Council of Thailand for permitting me to work in Khao Yai National Park.
