Research summary
AI-generated

Sasha L. Winkler studies animal behavior and communication, with a focus on vocalizations and social play in non-human primates and dogs. Recent work includes building annotated datasets of dog sounds during play with humans and comparing animal play vocalizations to human laughter, alongside earlier research on how sex differences in play develop in wild monkeys. The research also examines stress-related hormones (cortisol) and how social relationships and status affect them in primates.
