Maggie Stanton, Ph.D.
Location
Maggie Stanton is an Assistant Professor of Animal Behavior at the University of New England. Dr. Stanton's research program takes a broad comparative approach to answer questions surrounding the adaptive value of social behavior. Using long-term behavioral datasets that span decades, Dr. Stanton's research emphasizes the influence of early social experiences on future outcomes in wild populations of long-lived mammals, such as chimpanzees and bottlenose dolphins.
