Vero (veiru:) is a 2nd year PhD candidate in Razafindratsima lab. She is investigating the contributions of tropical nocturnal omnivores in the maintenance of plant diversity and the impacts of human activities on the seed dispersal processes in the tropics. As a Malagasy scientist, Vero has focused her research on the mouse lemurs in Madagascar, where she is one of the youngest researchers that have investigated the interactions of small-bodied and nocturnal primates with plants. Her PhD project involves a lot of fieldwork data such that she is expected to spend most of her summers in the rainforests of Madagascar, where she will capture-release mouse lemurs and other arboreal small mammals, track mouse lemurs at night using telemetry, and conduct several germination experiments with the seeds retrieved in the mouse lemur dungs.
