Dissertation Topic:
I am studying intergroup relationships in grey-cheeked mangabeys and redtail monkeys in Kibale National Park, Uganda, to determine the factors that cause males and/or females to participate in group-level contests. I'm also seeking to understand what causes some species to defend a specific home range boundary whereas others are more fluid in their socio-spatial dynamics.
Research Interests:
Primate behavioral ecology, between-group competition, evolution of within-group social relationships
