Ian Gilby has studied the behavioral ecology of wild chimpanzees since 1997. His main research interests are cooperative hunting, meat sharing and adult male dominance strategies. He is co-director of the Gombe Chimpanzee Database, which contains over six decades of detailed behavioral, ecological and demographic data from the long-term study of two chimpanzee communities in Gombe National Park, Tanzania. Before coming to Arizona State University in 2014, he was a postdoctoral research associate in human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, and then a senior research scientist in evolutionary anthropology at Duke University.
