Research

My research focuses on the evolution and ontogeny of social behaviour, incorporating socioecology, life history and developmental plasticity. I worked on diverse primate species, investigating socioecology, coalition formation and social bonds in Barbary macaques, and developmental trade-offs and prenatal maternal stress effects in wild Assamese macaques, wild Chimpanzees, and across mammals (meta-analysis). Currently, I'm interested in the general socioecology of free-ranging dogs and wolves, how it may effect their social behaviour and skills, and how early life experiences including (social) prenatal maternal stress may influence social behaviour.
