Projet

L’influence de malformations congénitales chez les petits macaques japonais sur leurs interactions sociales
I study the consequences of physical disability for free-ranging Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) with congenital limb malformations. In my current field project, Infant disability and infant handling in free-ranging Japanese macaques, I am testing hypotheses about the adaptive significance of infant handling, and examining how disability, ecological and social variables may affect infant handling and infant behaviour at the Awajishima Monkey Center in Japan.
