Taxonomic review of the New World tamarins (Primates: Callitrichidae).

Populations of capuchin monkeys in the wild differ markedly from one another in social and sexual behaviors and in grouping patterns, and thus provide an excellent system for comparative study of both cultural and genetic variation.Ĭurrently Lynch Alfaro is studying mate choice, immigration and MHC genes in wild Cebus capucinus in collaboration with Katharine Jack (Tulane University), and genomic evolution in robust capuchins ( Sapajus) with Patrícia Izar (University of Sāo Paulo). Like humans, capuchins are a recent and successful radiation of weedy generalists, able to survive even in marginal habitats through extractive foraging and tool use.

Her research focuses most strongly on understanding the diversity within capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus and Cebus), and incorporates phylogenomic and biogeographic analyses. Lynch Alfaro is a biological anthropologist whose research centers on the evolution of behavioral and morphological diversity in Neotropical primates. She is a member of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group and co-editor for the journal “Neotropical Primates”, a publication of Conservation International.
