Special interests in ecology, primate conservation, and the evolution of sexual strategies. Research includes fieldwork with free-ranging olive baboons (Papio anubis) near Gilgil, Kenya, between 1970 and 1980, a nine-month survey of large mammals (including eight primate species) in the proposed Outamba-Kilimi National Park in Sierra Leone, West Africa in 1981-1982, and a study of mating strategies in a free-ranging troop of patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) on the Laikipia Plateau, Kenya. Studied wedge-capped capuchin monkeys (Cebus olivaceus) at Hato Pinero , in the Venezuelan llanos, between 1988 and 1995.
