Building on principles of evolution, animal behavior, and communication, the goal of this group is to apply current understanding of animal behavior to animal welfare, management and conservation issues, while continuing to expand on this knowledge base.
Several of our ongoing projects include:
Captive Primate Management & Wellbeing
Social Systems and Development
Human-Monkey Conflict as a Coupled Natural-Human System
