Teaching Experience

Since receiving my Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 2000, I have taught causes in Biological Anthropology at Santa Monica College, UC Riverside, Pomona College and UCLA, including Introduction to Physical Anthropology (with and without a laboratory), Primate Social Behavior, and Primate Reproduction. I have previously taught the Primate Ecology Field Course at ITEC (2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004) in addition to the Tropical Animal behavior course (2003 and 2004). I have also worked closely with undergraduates in the field on Barro Colorado Island, Panama.

Research Interests

My dissertation research focused on the concept of estrus and its applicability to anthropoid reproduction. Specifically I tested the assumption that spider monkeys (Ateles spp.) have discrete estrous periods. In order to investigate this question I spent 15 months on Barro Colorado Island, Panama researching the behavior of the black-handed spider monkeys (A. geoffroyi). In addition, I collected fecal samples from focal females that I later assayed for metabolites of the steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone. My findings indicate that like most anthropoids, spider monkeys do not have a discrete period of sexual receptivity. I have also investigated the role of spider monkeys as seed dispersers on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. I am continuing my research into the reproductive behavior and endocrinology of female primates in collaboration with a number of other primatologists.
