Onja Razafindratsima, Professor
Integrative Biology
Closed. This professor is continuing with Spring 2026 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Fall 2026.
Our research group is interested in addressing various questions related to primate ecology. We have gathered data in the field for over two years about different aspects of movement and foraging ecology of three sympatric lemur species in the rainforests of Madagascar. Students will have the opportunity to develop specific research questions using these data, conduct data analyses to address the questions, and learn to interpret the implications of the results.
Qualifications: The student will assist in data analyses and review of relevant literature. Learning Outcomes: The students will gain experience in data analysis and preparing a scientific manuscript, learn about the process of conducting field ecology, develop an ability to apply coding skills in addressing research questions, and enhance skills in critically analyzing and synthesizing relevant scientific literature.
