Primate associated communities
I am interested in the diverse communities of organisms that associate with animals, the ecological and evolutionary processes shaping them, and their impact on health. This includes work on communities of bacteria and eukaryotic parasites in primate guts, viruses infecting these bacteria, and communities of flies that form long-term associations with social groups and serve as disease vectors. A uniting theme in this research is the exploration of transmission of organisms at different scales. I highlight a study in PNAS of wild primate phages which showed that many phages co-diverged with their superhosts over millions of years and explored how behavior and captivity shapes these communities. I highlight a piece in EMPH discussing how an understanding of primate-associated phage diversity can be used to improve medicine and public health. I then highlight a study in ISME examining gut microbiome composition in sympatric primates, showing that despite sharing an environment and interspecific interactions, individuals harbored unique microbiomes influenced by host species, social group, and parentage and perhaps hunting behavior. I then highlight studies in Mol Ecol and EcoHealth showing that flies track primate groups for weeks and carry infectious bacterial pathogens and that these fly associations vary with group sizes; these associations may expose social animals to pathogens and represent an understudied cost of sociality. Lastly, I highlight a study in EcoHealth that explored the movement of these primate-associated flies at the human-wildlife interface and their potential role as disease vectors.

Bacterial pathogens
Zoonotic pathogens represent a large proportion of emerging infectious diseases and a threat to global human health. Classic fishing expeditions targeting wildlife document high levels of microorganism diversity, but struggle to identify those relevant to human health. My work draws on a natural experiment – non-human primates, our closest living relatives, are immunologically and physiologically similar to humans making them susceptible to many of the same pathogens. I use non-human primate populations as sentinels for infectious microorganisms that have the potential to become emerging diseases. At the same time, my research suggest that disease also plays a critical role in regulating wildlife populations and their conservation. I have contributed to the development of molecular methods that enable pathogen detection in a diversity of sample types; most notably in bones, feces, and carrion flies in ways that generate genomic data and insights into a pathogen’s ecology, as highlighted in a publication in Environmental DNA and Clinical Microbiology and Infections. I highlight studies in Emerging Microbes and Infections and Microbial Genomics that used these tools to demonstrate that non-human primates across Sub-Saharan Africa are infected with the bacterium Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue that causes yaws disease in humans. These studies demonstrate that rather than species specific lineages, the phylogeny of this pathogen is suggestive of between-species transmission within environments, raising potential issues for eradication efforts.

Viral pathogens
I highlight work on a diversity of pathogenic viruses using the same sentinel approach described for bacteria. Of particular note is a publication on the possible origin of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa; importantly, we helped to broaden the focus of the hunt for reservoirs of ebolaviruses, to look beyond flying foxes and fruit bats, to other potentially important bat species. Subsequently, new ebolaviruses such as Bombali virus were discovered in insectivorous bats. I also highlight work on retroviruses that provides insights into the prevalence, within- and cross-species transmission and the importance of virus–host interactions in determining cross-species transmission risk. I also highlight work discovering novel viruses using hybridization capture-based tools, published in Viruses. Lastly, I highlight a publication in Virology that develops this sentinel framework to explore the ecology and evolution of primate retroviruses within an ecosystem, highlighting the importance of long-term research.

Behavioral ecology
I am interested in what influences primate behavior and the effects of climate and land cover changes on wild populations. This is particular important in the context of understanding how potentially zoonotic pathogens are distributed in wildlife across landscapes and how pathogen distributions may change in the future. A study in Biotropica showed that group sizes of red colobus monkeys increased over the last 15 years at a parkwide scale, showing that influential characteristic of a species’ behavior can change at broad scales. In the International Journal of Primatology, I showed these changes have cascading impacts on behavior and the genetic structure of these groups. I also use comparative approaches to test for broad patterns across environments and populations; for example, a study in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology showed that across primates, male reproductive skew is related to the number of competitors in a group, but that seasonality does not reliably predict synchrony or male reproductive skew. At the same time, a recent study in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology highlights my interested in developing a statistical framework that enables robust comparisons of behavior between groups within species, as well as between-species.

Biodiversity monitoring and conservation
I am interested in developing tools to monitor biodiversity to inform conservation initiatives and our understanding of what limits population sizes. At the same time, understanding the distribution of pathogen reservoirs across landscapes is a critical component of estimating disease risk. This work includes traditional survey methods, but I also championed fly-derived DNA as a tool to monitor biodiversity; indeed, a study in eDNA showed that fly‐derived mammal DNA detected smaller‐bodied species than camera traps and that fly‐derived DNA is a cost‐ and time‐efficient tool that complements camera trapping in assessing mammalian biodiversity. I also use nutritional studies and variation in human behavior across landscapes to understand how forest disturbances influence primate abundance, as well as comparative studies across populations to test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses; for example, a study published in Animal Conservation examined how human use and revenue sharing in Kibale National Park, Uganda interacted with animal abundance. Another study in Evolution examined seasonal mortality patterns to yield insights into the drivers of mortality and potential selection pressures acting on individuals in different environments. Lastly, I highlight a study in Tropical Conservation Science exploring how nutritional landscapes and habitat changes are related to non-human primate abundance in a previously logged environment.
