Thyroid Hormone Concentrations in Female Baboons: Metabolic Consequences of Living in a Highly Seasonal Environment

How female mammals adapt metabolically in response to environmental variation remains understudied in the wild, because direct measures of metabolic activity are difficult to obtain in wild populations. However, recent advances in the non-invasive …

A Synthesis of Long-Term Environmental Change in Santa Rosa, Costa Rica

Long-term monitoring is an essential component of primate conservation, and much of this research is explicitly concerned with how primates respond to and cope with diverse forms of environmental change. Here, I synthesize over four decades of data …
