Image Gallery Curriculum VitaeThe various research interests and fields I have played a role in pioneering, inspired by the primates I have observed and the people I have worked with, include cultural primatology, female mate choice, primate host-parasite ecology, and animal self-medication. These studies have led to work in ethnobotany, reproductive physiology, behavioral endocrinology, phylogeography, and historical primatology. Along with investigations on free-ranging and captive Japanese macaques for over 40 years, I studied wild chimpanzees at four field sites in Tanzania and Uganda between 1985 and 2004. Since 2004, I've been working mostly on macaques and langurs across Asia, with field studies in Sri Lanka, Taiwan, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.
私が観察してきた霊長類種や一緒に働いてきた人々から感動を受け、文化的霊長類学、メスニホンザルの配偶者選択、霊長類の宿主・寄生虫の生態学、動物の薬草利用行動など、さまざまな研究テーマや分野の開拓に一役かってきました。これらの研究は、民族植物学、生殖生理学、行動内分泌学、系統地理学、霊長類学の歴史研究へとつながっています。40年以上にわたり、放し飼いにされたニホンザルの研究を行うとともに、1985年から2004年にかけて、タンザニアとウガンダの4つの調査地で野生のチンパンジーを研究した。2004年以降は、スリランカ、台湾、インド、インドネシア、ベトナムなどの野外調査を行い、主にアジア全域のマカクとラングールを研究している。
