À propos de ce contenu audio
How do slow lorises use venom, and what can these elusive primates tell us about evolution and conservation? In this episode of Our Primate Past, Anna Nekaris takes us inside the world of nocturnal primates, sharing her groundbreaking research and conservation work.
Professor Anna Nekaris OBE is a leading primatologist and conservationist whose pioneering research focuses on lorises and other nocturnal primates. She is particularly renowned for her work on slow loris venom, its ecological and evolutionary significance, as well as her studies of loris behavior and sociality, naming new taxa, and dedication to conservation and public outreach.
In this interview, Professor Nekaris shares her career journey, key research contributions, and perspectives on lorisoid evolution. She discusses the challenges of fieldwork on nocturnal species, the evolution of venom and the toothcomb, and how initiatives like the Little Fireface Project are helping protect these elusive primates. Conservation challenges, including the pet trade and the impact of social media on loris welfare, are also explored.
