Research

Capuchin substrate modification and pruning

Picture
 We are investigating how white-faced capuchins interact with and modify their arboreal environment to determine if they influence tree growth and epiphyte load.

Ecological influences on gait selection in Cebus capucinus

Picture
 In this research we are examining footfall sequences in free-ranging white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus). We have placed experimental platforms in the forest to assess if gait selection in individual primates is influenced by substrate stability.

Doing sustainable field work

Picture
We are examining how field research, instruction, and other activities influence our study subject ecosystems. Our goal is to provide guidelines for more sustainable behavior in fragile areas.

Ontogenetic influences on positional behavior and prehensile-tail use Cebus capucinus and Alouatta palliata.
