Dr. Anne Mertl Millhollen - profile |
Anne Mertl Millhollen studied captive ringtailed lemurs as a graduate student at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. Her research there focused on lemur olfactory communication. After discovering that lemurs could discriminate between the scents from different individuals, she went to Berenty Reserve in 1975 as a Duke University post-doctoral student.Anne found in her research that both the ringtailed lemur and sifaka troops in Berenty's rich gallery forest used scent marks to demarcate territorial boundaries. Amazingly, when she returned 23 years later, one of the ringtailed lemur troops was still using and demarcating those same boundaries. |

That research evolved into continuing studies about how food resources, especially tamarind trees, influence ringtailed lemur ranging, territorial behavior and population, and how they all interact in the Berenty ecosystem. |
