Her research concerns environmental mechanisms influencing reproduction, development and life history in human and non-human primates. Current studies involve the hormonal basis of seasonal reproduction, female mate competition, male life history patterns and aging, and the metabolic costs of reproduction in females. CAREL P.

He studies behavioral ecology and the social evolution of primates, and is also interested in the conservation of tropical forests.
