Ecology & Ecosystem Health

The Evolutionary Ecology, Conservation & Ecosystem Health Division advances research in primate biology, primatology, evolutionary ecology, conservation and ecosystem health to generate scientific evidence for the sustainable management and conservation of primates, biodiversity and ecosystems.

It investigates population dynamics, community ecology, behaviour, evolutionary processes, biodiversity, climate change and human-wildlife interactions. It integrates biological, ecological, environmental and social perspectives to understand the factors influencing primate populations and the ecosystems in which they exist.
