| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
FY2018 began with continued fieldwork at Wamba in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where Kyoto University researchers have been studying wild bonobos for decades. I conducted behavioral observations or activities that put animals at risk of parasite infection and collected fecal samples to assess parasite infection phenotypes across individuals. Data are currently in preparation and processing stages. In addition, I published 3 papers in international journals (Animal Behavior, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B) and presented my work at the International Primatological Society meetings and in various invited lectures in Europe. I also received my DSc degree based on this work, and was awarded a JSPS PD beginning in September 2019 to continue it.
