LONG CITATION
The scope, depth, and impact of Linda Fedigan's research are unique in Canadian anthropology in general and primatology in particular. A Tier I Canada Research Chair, and leader of a team of primatology researchers, she is an internationally recognized scholar known for three decades of contribution to the study of primate life history, reproduction, socioecology, and conservation. An entire chapter of the extremely influential book Primate Visions was dedicated to the work of Dr. Fedigan. She has trained a generation of primatologists, many of whom are now active scholars in anthropology, psychology, and zoology at institutions throughout Canada and the United States.
