Sponsors

Grateful thanks to all our sponsors supporting our and our students’ research and training!

The National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Physical Anthropology Program, Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, supports our work since 2002. The current project is entitled “Social relationships and reproductive strategies of Phayre's leaf monkeys” [BCS-0542035; previous award BCS-0215542]. The work with Phayre’s leaf monkeys is further supported through Doctoral

Research: Thailand and elsewhere

The Wenner-Gren Foundation provided/s support for Eileen Larney’s research on relatedness and infant handling and Kerry Ossi’s research on skill-learning and growth in Phayre’s leaf monkeys, as well as Brandon Wheeler’s research on alarm calling of brown capuchins at Iguazu, Argentina.

The workshops held at PKWS have been supported through Conservation International/ Primate Action Funds Program (2003, 2004 & 2007) and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo/ Small Grants Program of the Cleveland Zoological Society (2005 & 2007).

Beginning in 2001 (until 2003) we attempted to habituate and study Rhesus macaques at PKWS. This effort was supported by the Leakey Foundation and National Geographic CRE. Unfortunately the attempt failed; though we learned a lot about the primates on site and the forest.

Thailand - Workshop

Primate Conservation Inc. and Conservation International (through the Primate Action Funds Program) are supporting Wendy Erb’s dissertation work on the highly endangered Simakobu, endemic to the Mentawai Islands; a study conducted in collaboration with the Siberut Conservation Project (German Primate Center, Goettingen).
