Shivani

Research interests
My broad research interests are in Behavioral Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Primarily, I work with Primates and try to understand different forces that shape their behavior. I am keen on using interdisciplinary approaches to understand behavior of different life forms. For my PhD research, I look at the social and ecological drivers of female fitness in a wild population of Assamese macaques.
