I am a behavioral
endocrinologist whose work focuses on the endocrine correlates and
fitness consequences of variation in social behavior in wild primates.
My research uses a multidisciplinary approach that combines the methods
of behavioral ecology and endocrinology to better understand the sources
and consequences of variability in primate social behavior across
individuals and groups in natural populations. Currently, I am
investigating the endocrine correlates and fitness consequences of
variation in the mother-offspring relationship in wild primates. I am
also investigating the development of sex differences in behavior and in
the adaptive significance of affiliative bonds and dominance status in
wild primates. In my research, I combine non-invasive methods of
behavioral data collection with fecal hormone extraction from
habituated,
