  Subject Areas on Research

  • A biomechanical analysis of skull form in gum-harvesting galagids. 
  • A digital collection of rare and endangered lemurs and other primates from the Duke Lemur Center. 
  • A model for comparison of masticatory effectiveness in primates. 
  • A projection from the parabigeminal nucleus to the pulvinar nucleus in Galago. 
  • Calcium binding proteins distinguish large and small cells of the ventral posterior and lateral geniculate nuclei of the prosimian galago and the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri). 
  • Comparative functional analysis of skull morphology of tree-gouging primates. 
  • Distribution of acetylcholinesterase in the geniculo striate system of Galago senegalensis and Aotus trivirgatus: evidence for the origin of the reaction product in the lateral geniculate body. 
  • Epaxial muscle fiber architecture favors enhanced excursion and power in the leaper Galago senegalensis. 
  • Fiber type composition of epaxial muscles is geared toward facilitating rapid spinal extension in the leaper Galago senegalensis.
