Susan is the head of the lab. Learn more about her research interests and publications.

Marie Charpentier (marie.charpentier@duke.edu)

Marie Charpentier is a postdoctoral researcher working on genetic background and relatedness effects of fitness in baboons. See her website: http://fds.duke.edu/db/aas/Biology/postdocs/mariecha

Patrick Chiyo (patrick.chiyo@duke.edu)

Patrick is a Ph.D. student interested in social structure and demography of African elephants. He did his Master's work on the ecology and crop raiding by the elephant population in Kibale Forest, Uganda.

Courtney Fitzpatrick (clynfitz@duke.edu)

Courtney is a Ph.D. student in the lab. She is primarily interested in sexual selection and plans to pursue her interests in the Amboseli baboons using both molecular techniques and field observations. She has also studied recombination rate heterogeneity in Drosophila pseudoobscura, sex differences in play behavior in Lemur catta, photography from both studio and art historical perspectives and contemporary theories of gender identity.

Jordi Galbany (jg105@duke.edu)

Jordi is a postdoctoral researcher studying dental microwear, tooth wear and tooth morphology in Amboseli baboons. He has also studied dental microwear in several primate species in order to establish a baseline pattern usable for the interpretation of fossil primates and hominid diets. See his website: http://www.microwear.eu

Lacey Maryott (lacey.maryott@duke.edu)

Lacey is the data technician in the lab and is responsible for managing and updating our long-term baboon project database, Babase.

Adrienne Taylor (adrienne.d.taylor@duke.edu)

Adrienne an undergraduate student pursuing an independent study in the lab for her honor's thesis. Adrienne is examining interactions among telomere length, age, and social and environmental stress in three baboon populations. She is using the Amboseli population to analyze social stress in a wild population.

Jenny Tung (jt5@duke.edu)

Jenny graduated from Duke in 2003 and pursued a year of field work on capuchin monkeys in Suriname, working with Sue Boinski. She is back at Duke now, pursuing a Ph.D. in Biology.
