We also organize two series of informal seminars on research in the department, one on evolutionary morphology, and one on behavioral ecology. Journal reading clubs are convened irregularly. Follow the announcements outside the departmental office. Primate Center . The Duke University Primate Center contains the world's largest collections of captive prosimian primates.
Most species are free-ranging in natural habitat enclosures and breed.
Opportunities exist for hands-on research of primate behavior, functional morphology, organismal physiology, reproduction, and genetics. Opportunities exist to work in the Primate Center and Medical School facilities' extensive fossil collections. Additional labs use molecular genetics techniques and other lab work focuses on functional and evolutionary morphology and vertebrate development. Arrangements can be made to conduct studes in these labs. Field work .
