BIO
Joanna Lambert is Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado- Boulder. Her research addresses questions related to species coexistence, the biology of resilience, and rapid evolution, all through the lens of feeding biology and diet. Specifically, she and her team investigate the diet and nutritional biology of wild mammals (especially primates and carnivores) using an integrative array of methods on animal behavior, physiology, genetics, nutritional chemistry, animal interactions with humans, and human attitudes towards animals in landscapes spanning the gamut of anthropogenic conversion. Co-founder of the Northwest Primate Conservation Society, she has served as an advisor to the United Nations Environmental Program, and belongs to the Primate Specialist Group of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). She is a Fellow of the AAAS and of the Linnean Society of London.
