Welcome! We study the interaction between wild primates and their environments through what they eat.

Our field research is based in the rainforests and savannas of Uganda in East Africa, and our nutrition lab is based in the Department of Anthropology, Hunter College in New York City, USA. We are committed to wildlife conservation and we work closely with the Uganda Wildlife Authority to conduct management-oriented research.

All photos are of our study subjects and were taken by Dr. Rothman.
