The Team

NYEEMA C. HARRIS, PhD. - Primary Investigator
Dr. Harris is an Associate Professor in the School of the Environment at Yale University. The principal focus of her Applied Wildlife Ecology (AWE) lab is to investigate the biogeography and conservation of antagonistic interactions. She and her students study predator-prey, competition, and host-parasite interactions in mammals, namely carnivores with active projects in North America and Africa. She aims to do science that has conservation and societal relevance, and celebrates the awe of nature.
