I am interested in primate ecology, behaviour, and cognition,
with the specific aim of using ape models to understand human evolution.
My empirical work focuses on a large community of white-handed gibbons
at Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, which has been subject to longitudinal
research for nearly three decades. In a 'holistic' approach I study
various aspects of gibbons together with students and colleagues.
Our current research centres around the gibbon mating system, life
history and demography and more specifically the influence of ecology
on reproductive parameters and social organization, the relationship
between female ovarian cycles, sexual swellings and mating behaviour,
and gibbon vocal communication. I am fascinated by studies of primate
culture and cognition, which I aim to soon explore also in gibbons.
