| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I have successfully conducted my study at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University. I sampled 22 women between September 2018 and June 2019 - I have analyzed all sampled during the summer, and wrote a manuscript that is now under second revision at the Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology journal. Meanwhile I have published another paper in the same journal, on a very similar topic but for a different primate species (Japanese macaques). I presented the results of my study at both national (September: International Symposium on Primatology and Wildlife Science, Inuyama, Japan; October: Congress of the French-speaking society for primatology, France) and international congresses (September: European Federation for Primatology - Primate Society of Great Britain joint meeting, UK).
