Staff profile

I am a primatologist and biological anthropologist with research interests spanning primate behavioural and evolutionary ecology, conservation, human–primate relationships, and research ethics and practice. I have conducted primate field research since 1996, particularly in Gabon, and have extensive experience of primate research and conservation globally.

I joined Durham Anthropology in 2007. I have a PhD in Zoology from the University of Cambridge and moved into Anthropology through postdoctoral positions at Roehampton University and the University of Cambridge, followed by a lectureship at University College London.

I teach biological and evolutionary anthropology at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and have won two awards for doctoral supervision. I have held a range of leadership roles at Durham, including Director of Research and Director of Postgraduate Research.

My preferred name is Jo. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

Research

My research spans primate behavioural and evolutionary ecology, human-primate relationships and conservation, and research ethics and practice. Across these areas, I draw on three decades of field experience and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Primate behavioural and evolutionary ecology

My research in primate behavioural and evolutionary ecology focuses on sexual selection, signalling, reproductive strategies and life history.

Mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) have been central to my research since 1996. My long-term collaborative research in Gabon has combined behavioural observations with morphology, demography, endocrinology, genetics, chemical ecology, dental histology and microbiology to investigate these questions.

For more about our long-term studies of mandrills, please see my mandrill research pages and this review. 

Human–primate relationships and conservation

My long-term experience in Gabon and other primate range countries has given me extensive experience of conservation challenges and primate reintroductions. These experiences have convinced me that conservation must be grounded in a thorough understanding of historical, political and social contexts. In other words, social science approaches are essential to conservation.

My collaborators and I have detailed our interdisciplinary approach to conservation here and here.

Research practice, ethics, and equity

I also work on how primate research itself is conducted, with interests in research ethics, methodological rigour, transparency, equitable research partnerships, responsible communication about primates, and improving practices for the capture and release of wild primates.

These interests inform my work as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Primatology and my book Studying Primates: How to Design, Conduct and Report Primatological Research.

I co-moderate a private room on WildHub on 'Primate Capture, Release and Alternatives'. The room is a project of the International Primatological Society's Committee to Make the Capture and Release of Wild Primates Safer and Find Alternatives. It is a place to share best practices for capture, discuss alternatives to capture, seek help with planning captures, and discuss challenges encountered when capturing and releasing wild primates. If you're interested in joining, please email me. 

You can find details of my publications below and on Researchgate.

Studying Primates: How to Design, Conduct and Report Primatological Research

Motivated by my experience as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Primatology, an understanding that not everyone has access to expert mentoring, and the need for evidence in primate conservation, I wrote a guide that explains how to develop a research question in primatology, formulate testable hypotheses and predictions, design and conduct a project, and report the results. I focus on research integrity and ethics throughout, and provide practical advice on overcoming common difficulties researchers face.

The book is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and those teaching primatology. My aim is that it should be on the bookshelf of every primatologist, primate research station, and primate sanctuary. All royalties go to primate conservation.

Featured research and resources

• Pocket Guide to the Primates of Gabon, in French and English.
• A recent editorial on Promoting Equitable Research Partnerships in Primatology explores how primatologists can collaborate more equitably and examines some of the challenges involved.
• This article, based on Miles Woodruff’s PhD research, tests the common assumption that release into the wild is beneficial for orphaned primates. We show that a carefully planned release of mandrills can promote their wellbeing. Watch here to find out more.
• Primates are facing an impending extinction crisis - but we know very little about what will actually protect them.

Information for prospective students and postdocs

If you're interested in doing a Masters by Research or a PhD, you will need funding to cover fees, living costs and research costs. PhDs in the UK do not include a taught component and are usually 3-4 years if you study full-time.

I do not have funding for PhD students unless you can see a specific advert on this page. Options for PhD funding through Durham University include our Doctoral Training partnerships, and other scholarships. Deadlines are usually in January and early preparation with multiple rounds of feedback is essential for a chance of success. This database might also be useful.

There's information about a variety of postdoctoral fellowship opportunities here. Again, early preparation with multiple rounds of feedback is essential for success. Durham University often has internal deadlines ahead of funding deadlines, to facilitate peer review.

I prioritise applications from range-country primatologists, and those which relate to and build on my own research interests. I am particularly keen to work with qualitative social scientists interested in human-primate interactions and biodiversity conservation.
