These are links to other researchers and centers involved in biodemography and reproductive ecology. ResourcesThe Center for Human and Primate Reproductive Ecology (CHaPRE) From their site: CHaPRE was founded in 2005 through the support of the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies in order to foster research into the interaction between the reproductive biology of humans and non-human primates and environmental stresses. The Population Research Institute at Penn State University From their site: The Population Research Institute (PRI) encourages, organizes, and supports innovative research and training in the population sciences.
From their site: The transition to menopause encompasses a wide ranging set of changes for women. The work [...] offers a unique opportunity to explore the transition and link it with the prior history of a large, well-defined cohort of women. [They] study a cohort of women enrolled in the Tremin Trust.
From their site: The Center for Population and Health was established in 1999 at Georgetown University. The Center has five primary goals: strengthen and encourage research among faculty and students who do population-related work; foster interdisciplinary collaboration on campus; create a sustainable "demographic presence" at Georgetown for training both undergraduate and graduate students; promote activities that offer service and contribute to the well-being of the DC community; and position Georgetown as a leader in the demographic professional community.
From his site: The focus [is] on defining the physiological factors giving rise to interpopulation variations in realized fertility in humans and the development of tools for assessments of these factors. This work has helped found the discipline of human reproductive ecology which also includes examination of factors that link diet and disease status to such pertinent phenomena as birth seasonality, male endocrine function, and female conceptive loss.
From her site: Most of Dr. Weinstein's work explores the behavioral and biological dimensions of reproduction and aging. Her most recent research is in the emerging area of biodemography.
From her site: Dr. Williams' laboratory focuses on the modulation of reproductive function by alterations in energy status achieved by changes in food intake or exercise. Other Interesting and Useful LinksCenter for Studies in Demography
