I work on the evolution of sociality in primate societies using long-term, individual-centered data. Since 2012, I have been running a field station in southern Gabon (Parc de la Lékédi, Bakoumba) to study the world's only natural population of habituated mandrills. In this population, I study the main determinants of social relationships, such as kinship or individual parasite status, as well as the proximal factors that regulate these relationships.
