Research Among Shawn Lehman's field experiences are expeditions to jungles in Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and Madagascar. Much of his research focuses on the conservation biogeography and landscape ecology of South American and Madagascar primates. Dr. Lehman and his students are currently engaged in an NSERC supported project testing hypotheses on how landscape changes in forest composition influence primate ecology in Madagascar.

Field: Primatology, conservation biology, biogeography, evolutionary ecology.
