Dental topographic analysis of South African galagos

Team Members: Michelle Sauther, Frank Cuozzo, Almudena Estalrrich, Putu Pujantari, Peter Ungar

Funding:  US National Science Foundation

The Ungarlab is partnering with Michelle Sauther and Frank Cuozzo, directors of the Southern Africa Galago Project at the Lajuma Research Centre, South Africa to generate dental topographic data for the study of Otolemur tooth wear.   These data represent a longitudinal study including repeat captures of a number of galagos with detailed life history and ecological metadata.  This study builds on previous collaborative work on Madagascar’s ring-tailed lemurs.
