Program Description:
Dates: Dec 27, 2007 to Jan 18th 2008
This course explores the behavioral ecology of non-human primates from
an evolutionary and comparative perspective, with emphasis given to the
species present at Ometepe. The main topics covered in this course
include field methods and research design. A background in animal
behavior or biological anthropology is helpful but not required. Each day will be a combination of lectures, seminars and fieldwork, with daily forest
exploration. Although the focus while in the field will be on primates
and their immediate environment, other flora and fauna of interest will
be pointed out and discussed as they are encountered. Advanced component to the course is available. Contact us for more information.
