Omer Nevo; PI
I'm an evolutionary ecologist specializing on chemical communication between plants and animals. My main interest is the evolution and ecological functions of fruit scent in the context of seed dispersal by animals, especially primates. My work employs both field and lab methods and examines animal-plant interactions using a broad comparative approach as well as more detailed explorations of smaller model systems. You can download my CV here.

Linh M.N. Nguyen; PhD candidate (iDiv, FSU Jena; 2021 - )
Linh M.N. Nguyen is a PhD candidate at iDiv and FSU Jena. Her research project explores the evolution of fruit scent as a signal for seed dispersal, starting in Spring 2021. She employs ecological, chemical, and genomic tools to identify how seed dispersal by lemurs has driven the evolution of Madagascar's fig chemistry. Before joining the group, she studied chemistry (BSc, Carroll University) and botany (MSc, University of Wisconsin - Madison). |

Diary Razafimandimby; PhD candidate (University of Antananarivo; 2020 - )
Diary Razafimandimby studies the interaction between fruit characteristics and lemur senses. She conducted her MSc research on the sensory behavior of red-bellied lemurs (Eulemur rubriventer). She is now starting a PhD project at the University of Antananarivo, applying an ecological network approach to study the patterns of interactions between figs (Ficus spp.) and lemurs and birds. |

Annabella Helman
Annabella is a recent graduate of Duke University with a focus on conservation biology and large carnivore ecology. She has worked and carried out research at the Duke Lemur Center throughout her undergraduate career and is currently conducting a project on lemur foraging behavior before pursuing graduate school. |
