Phylogeography: Modeling the demographic history of primate populations using genetic markers; analysis of the ecological factors influencing the current distribution and temporal changes in primate populations

Landscape Genetics: Inference of likely geographical barriers and landscape factors to gene flow, dispersal and evolution; propose appropriate and practical conservation strategy

Behavioral Ecology: behavioral studies of male-male competition, female choice, and sexual conflict; analysis of factors influencing reproductive success for males and females; modeling factors that influence lifetime reproductive success; genetic analysis of paternity, relatedness, and dispersal 

Primate Adaptation and Evolution: In combination with macroscopical and microscopical respects, focus on ecological variation and take a comprehensive approach towards understanding the genetic and behavioral adaption mechanism in primates
