Dr. Anthony DiFiore, Chair of the Department of Anthropology at UT Austin, discusses "Primate Social Behavior."

Location: Welch Hall (WEL) Auditorium

Schedule:
5:45-7pm: Pre-lecture Fair
7-8:15pm: Lecture
This talk is sponsored by the Environmental Science Institute.

Dr. DiFiore conducts long-term behavioral and ecological field research on several species in the primate community of Amazonian Ecuador to investigate the ways in which ecological conditions (such as the abundance and distribution of food resources) and the strategies of conspecifics together shape primate behavior and social relationships and ultimately determine the kinds of societies we see primates living in.
