Research:
I study social relationships in free-living nonhuman primates. I have studied female mate choice in rhesus macaques, and a variety of topics (e.g. female-female grooming and dominance relationships; post-conflict reconciliation; "allomothering") as part of an ongoing, long-term field study of white-faced capuchin monkeys.

Selected Publications:
