Conservation Biologists Disagree Over Whether the Best Way to Protect

Conservation biologists disagree over whether the best way to protect endangered species is by setting aside a single large (=SL) area that contains suitable habitat versus several small (=SS) areas that contain suitable habitat but are not connect to one another. (a) Using your knowledge of evolutionary ecology and conservation biology, discuss the arguments for and against each of these positions for primates in general.
(b) Then, using your knowledge of primate behavioral ecology, discuss how characteristics such as body size, reproductive rates, and degree of ecological specialization might influence the effectiveness of one type of approach over the other. Be sure to give examples of particular primates in your answer.
