2 occasionally funny, too. Reading this work restored my faith in popular science books generally and ensured that I’d be racking up Waterstone’s loyalty points for some time to come. As for the present issue of Primate Eye, we’ve got plenty to keep you occupied – meeting abstracts, meeting announcements, ‘proper’ book reviews, and all of the other goodies you’ve come to expect. Don’t forget, if you’ve got your own announcement, query, tirade, or point of view that may of interest to the greater primatological community, don’t hesitate to contact us. The articles and abstracts included in Primate Eye are not for citation or quotation without permission of the authors. The deadline for the next issue of Primate Eye is 15th January 2010. Items (manuscript or electronic in any standard format) for future issues should be sent to: Todd C.

3 REPORT: PSGB SPRING MEETING 2009 Form & Function 16/17 April 2009, Bournemouth University The 2009 Spring Meeting of the Primate Society of Great Britain, held at the Landesdown Campus of Bournemouth University on the 16th and 17th of April, was on the theme of ‘Form and Function’. The organisers Mandy Korstjens, Jo Setchell and Bridget Waller successfully put together a stimulating array of speakers and events, a feat greatly appreciated by those in attendance. What would have once, perhaps, been anatomical overload was instead a vibrant meeting integrating behaviour and ecology into the study of morphology. In its entirety, the meeting included extended talks from five plenary speakers, an invited public lecture by Prof. Jan A.R.A.M. van Hooff, twelve oral presentations (many by students), two workshops, a poster session, the first Charles A. Lockwood Student Prize for best student oral presentation, and an excursion to Marwell Zoo. Five plenary speakers set the tone of the meeting: Gabrielle Macho offered unique insights into extant great ape and extinct hominid morphology and behaviour, Sarah Elton highlighted the contribution of a multitude of factors to guenon morphology and variation in both the crania and postcrania, Todd Rae used cercopithecine postcrania to outline problems (and solutions?) pertaining to phylogeny and function in morphological studies, Robin Crompton reported on recent developments in understanding the biomechanics of the hominids responsible for the Laetoli footprints, and Robin Dunbar outlined the need for, and use of, time budget models to better understand primate evolution.
