Research Interests

My general research interest include questions on the evolution of group life and social behavior, alloparental care, feeding ecology and feeding competition, predator-prey interactions, reproductive strategies, seasonality, evolutionary models, community ecology, and conservation.

I have conducted laboratory research on South American callitrichine monkeys (Callithrix spp.) and fieldwork on Hanuman langurs (Semnopithecus entellus) in Nepal. Currently I conduct fieldwork on Phayre’s leaf monkeys (Trachypithecus phayrei) in Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Northeastern Thailand. Research questions center on costs and benefits of group life, ecology of social relationships, and reproductive strategies.
