Biography
I joined the Anthropology Program at Athabasca University in 2006. I am a biological anthropologist with a specialization in Primatology. I received my MSc from the University of Oxford (1996) at the Institute of Biological Anthropology, and my PhD in primatology from the University of Calgary (2003) (Department of Anthropology). I am currently an associate professor in biological anthropology at Athabasca University. I am also an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Calgary. I currently live in Canmore, Alberta with my wife and two young sons.
Research Interest
My research interests are broadly centered on primate behaviour and ecology, with specific emphases on the ecology and cognition of vocal behaviour. Species of interest t include chimpanzees (Budongo Forest, Uganda), spider monkeys (Runaway Creek Nature Reserve, Belize) and vervet monkeys (Samara Game Reserve, South Africa).
