Nominator's project description
| Professor Yoder is well known internationally for her integrative approach to understanding the phylogenetic origins, historical biogeography, divergence times and speciation patterns of lemurs and other vertebrates of Madagascar. Recently, she has focused on the application of genomics to understand broad evolutionary patterns ranging from the evolution of the gut microbiome to the physiology of hibernation and disease transmission. In Germany, she will work on the genomics of speciation in lemurs of Madagascar. |
