The 42nd meeting of the American Society of Primatologists will take place at the Pyle Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison from August 21-24, 2019. The meeting will feature presentations on the ecology, behavior, anatomy, welfare, physiology, neuroscience, genetics, and conservation of captive and wild primates.
