Krista is a biological anthropologist who studies primate ecology and evolution. Her past research in Central America and Madagascar investigated the influence of habitat disturbance on primate biology and behavior. Currently, Krista is collaborating with U.S., South African, and Malagasy researchers on a project exploring the evolution of primate body size and activity pattern. With fieldsites in southern Madagascar and northern South Africa, the project will focus on clarifying the relationship between body size, predator pressure, and foraging behaviors in nocturnal primates.
