About Richard W. Wrangham at Harvard University (Harvard)

Based at Harvard University, Richard W. Wrangham focuses their scholarly efforts on primate behavior, chimpanzee ecology, animal communication, reproductive strategies, human evolution, conservation biology, social learning, tool use, bridging the gap between theory and practice in primate behavior. A representative example of their recent contribution is the study titled "Sex-specific effects of social bonds on glucocorticoids in wild chimpanzees", which offers critical insights into the dynamics of primate behavior and chimpanzee ecology. Additional work such as "Feeding behaviour of chimpanzees in Gombe National Park, Tanzania" further demonstrates their commitment to advancing knowledge in this domain.
