Olivier Kaisin

I'm a PhD student in between the University of Liège in Belgium and the Universidade Estadual Paulista in Brazil. My main research interest is trying to understand how primates adapt to human-induced disturbances in the wild. Currently, I study the physiological and behavioural responses to habitat quality by endangered black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) in Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Evaluating stress levels in primate populations living in fragmented landscapes will shed light on how primates respond to such habitat perturbations and how significant it is for their survival.
