Persons
Katharine (Kathy) Jack completed her MA (1995, under Mary Pavelka) and BSc (1992) at the University of Calgary. For her Master's research, Kathy studied the behavior of peripheral male Japanese macaques during the mating season at the Arashiyama West site in south Texas, where Mary Pavelka first introduced her to Linda Fedigan. In 1997, she joined the doctoral program at the University of Alberta, where, under the guidance of Linda Fedigan, she studied male life history patterns in white-faced capuchins in Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica. In 2001, just months after completing her doctorate in Anthropology, Kathy took up a faculty position at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Caroline. In 2003, Kathy moved to Tulane University, where she currently holds the title of Professor of Anthropology and Director of Environmental Studies. After a three-year stint studying Cebus albifrons in coastal Ecuador, Kathy returned to Costa Rica in 2005 to take up the role of co-director of the Santa Rosa Primate Project with Linda (they were joined by Amanda Melin in 2011). Kathy's research, which incorporates behavioral, demographic, genetic, and hormone data, focuses on life history patterns, dispersal, and reproductive strategies in male white-faced capuchins. She also works closely with Linda Fedigan and Fernando Campos on tracking the long-term impacts of forest protection, forest regeneration, and climate change on the howler and capuchin populations within Santa Rosa.
