WATCH is associated with numerous universities around the world, and we have hosted researchers, honours, masters and post-doctorate students. All the research that is conducted at the center is non-invasive and the studies don’t harm our vervets in any way.
A few examples of research conducted here at the center include:
-General behavioural studies
-Alarm call recognition in captive primates
-Faecal bacteria content of wild monkeys versus monkeys in captivity
-Self recognition in primates
-Cognitive capacity and image discrimination in wild versus captive vervet monkeys
-And even a photography student completing a project on primate hands and feet
We have had fantastic experiences and learnt from these researchers and students and we hope to continue having them in the future.
