Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores primate ecology and evolution through fieldwork.
AboutAbout the lab
Observing primates in the wild to understand their ecology and evolution.
Primate Field Science is a division newly established in fiscal year 2026 that comprehensively studies the ecology, adaptation, and evolution of primates, centered on fieldwork.
Its research covers behavior, society, and morphology to understand the biological characteristics of humans; interactions with other organisms; coexistence with local people; fossil primates and paleoenvironments; and evolutionary history through molecular phylogenetics.
In addition to fieldwork, it also carries out laboratory analysis of samples, observation of captive groups, and physiological and biochemical experiments.
