Research studies in this area include population dynamics of lion-tailed macaques in the western ghats, intraspecific variation in the slender loris, the cognitive bases of object manipulation and tool manufacture by wild bonnet macaques, food object recognition by bonnet macaques, decision- making during crop-raiding by rhesus macaques, and mitigation techniques to address macaque crop-raiding behaviour.
