Veronarindra RamananjatoVero is an incoming PhD student in Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley to start in Fall 2021.
Vero has a MS degree in Zoology and Animal Biodiversity from the University of Antananarivo. Her MS thesis research, investigating the importance of nocturnal omnivorous mouse lemurs as seed dispersal agents in Madagascar, is published in Biotropica. Vero was recently awarded a grant from the Rufford Foundation to support her PhD research studying the ecology of Microcebus rufus in the rainforests of Ranomafana Madagascar. She is an AAUW fellow, an International Peace Scholar and a Train Faculty Fellow for the 2021-22 academic year. Research interests: zoochory, ecology of nocturnal lemurs, ecological changes, ecological modeling Follow her research at ResearchGate.

Anaid Cárdenas NavarreteAnaid will begin her PhD in the Fall of 2021 in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. She is interested in the ecological flexibility and behavioral responses of primates in human-modified habitats. She earned her MSc in Biological Sciences from the National Autonomous University in Mexico working with black howler monkeys living in highly disturbed forest fragments in southern Mexico.
Research interests: primate ecological and behavioral flexibility, tropical rainforest ecology, plant-animal interactions, primate conservation

Rindra NantenainaRindra is a PhD student in Plant Ecology and Biology at the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar. Her current research explores the potential role of galls on plants in influencing seed dispersal services by animals. Her PhD research is currently supported through a research grant from the Rufford Foundation.
Research interests: plant ecology, seed dispersal, ecology of galls, medicinal plants |

Nancia RaoelinjanakolonaNancia is a PhD student in Zoology and Animal Biodiversity at the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar. Her current research explores how habitat fragmentation affects mutualistic interaction networks, with a focus on lemurs, birds and their food plants. Nancia is also a National Geographic Explorer. She was recently awarded a National Geographic Society Early Career Grant to support her PhD research. She also received an iNaturalist funding to train and engage local community in biodiversity studies.
Research interests: species interactions, habitat fragmentation, tropical ecology, herpetology, ornithology Follow her research at ResearchGate. |

Hasinavalona RakotoarisoaHasina is a Master student in Zoology and Animal Biodiversity at the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar. She is currently developing a Master's thesis research project, while participating in our research project investigating the dispersal mechanism of orphaned plants to gain field experience and training in various field techniques.
Research interests: plant-animal interactions, seed dispersal, animal diversity |
