Friederike Range studied Biology at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. For her master’s she conducted field research on sooty mangabeys in West Africa, investigating the social system of the adult females. After finishing her diploma, she started her PhD at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) to continue the research on sooty mangabeys and study their social cognition, their third-party knowledge and their knowledge about group membership. When Range finished her PhD she returned to Europe, first working on ravens for several months at the Konrad-Lorenz Institute in Grünau, before accepting a first Postdoc position in Vienna.
