Cheryl D. Knott focuses on orangutan behavior and biology both as a way to further understanding of endangered great apes and to provide clues to human evolutionary history. The Gunung Palung Orangutan Project gathers information on many aspects of orangutan ecology, social behavior, development, physiology, cognition, and ranging behavior. Most of her research focuses on the island of Borneo.
