Books By Urs Kalbitzer, Katharine M. Jack - Author

Urs Kalbitzer's interests include increasing his understanding of behavioral plasticity and the evolution of primate sociality by studying the variation in behavior, life-histories, hormones, genetics, and ecology between species. He completed his Diploma (which is equivalent to both a Bachelor of Science and Masters degree) in biology in 2008,  and his PhD in 2014 at the German Primate Center (DPZ) and the University of Göttingen, Germany. For his PhD thesis, he investigated behavioral, hormonal, and genetic differences among several species of baboon. After receiving his PhD, he began a postdoctoral fellowship with Linda Fedigan in the Department of Anthropology and Archeology at the University of Calgary to examine the benefits and costs of female sociality in the Santa Rosa capuchin monkeys. His fellowship in Calgary led to his collaborating with other primatologists within the department in studying the variety of species (including Old World monkeys, New World monkeys, and lemurs), and how pr
