Summary
Introduction
Life in the community for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) implies new roles and responsibilities for professionals providing mental health care to this population. A diverse range of mental health service models have emerged both nationally and internationally to meet these needs. In some cases, emphasis is on the provision of generic mainstream services to individuals with ID, while in others specialist services have been developed, either working independently of or in tandem with generic teams. This variability implies that a variety of professional groups require specialist knowledge for assessing, treating and managing mental health problems in individuals with ID. Very little is written about the education of professionals providing mental health care for this group and there is a lack of recognition of the need for formalized training in mental health and ID from a national and international perspective. Many training programmes appear ad hoc, with the availability and content of most educational initiatives being largely determined by the specific interests of those individuals providing and undergoing training. This chapter reviews the training programmes of three groups of health care professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists and primary care physicians) available in five countries (UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Austria) in relation to mental health problems in individuals with ID. The role of specific institutions and key individuals in increasing the profile of mental health problems in this population is highlighted, factors hindering the development of professional training are identified and recent innovations in curricula are described.

Summary
Introduction
Behavioral adaptations are mediated by the sensory systems. Animals locate food, identify mates, and avoid predators when they see, hear, smell, or otherwise sense them. It is easy to take for granted the fact that the sensory systems are directly and strongly influenced by selection pressures, but the identification of those pressures and the resulting adaptations sheds light on behavior we wish to understand. In this chapter the ways in which individual differences in one particular sensory adaptation, color vision, may influence foraging and predator detection in callitrichid primates are described. It is argued here that predation sensitive foraging may be accomplished in ways unique to callitrichids and other primate species that display this interesting sensory polymorphism.
Sensory specialization and compromise
Sensory systems often reflect a compromise resulting from different, sometimes opposing, selection pressures. A familiar and excellent example of this fact is the response of the visual system to selection pressures associated with diurnal versus nocturnal life. When light is plentiful, the eye can afford to specialize in the detection of detail in the visual world. In the absence of light, the eye must do what it can to capture and respond to every bit of illumination, even though such sensitivity sacrifices the visual detail enjoyed by diurnal species. Diurnal and nocturnal eyes are different in a host of ways, but most fundamentally they differ in the relative number of the two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones. Rods have a lower threshold to light than do cones and thus function when cones do not.
