Research and Interests

Dr. Campbell is a biological anthropologist specializing in New World primates, with an ongoing research project in Panama at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute site of Barro Colorado Island. Her research examines the reproductive biology, behavioral ecology and the evolution of alcoholism among spider monkeys. She plans to develop more physical and biological anthropology classes for our department in the future. An internationally known expert on spider monkeys, Dr. Campbell is the senior editor of Primates in Perspective, a college-level textbook that won the 2007 Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title, an honor granted by the American Library Association to books that make exceptional contributions to undergraduate education. Additionally, her newly edited volume Spider Monkeys: Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of the Genus Ateles, has just been released.
