Welcome to Onja Razafindratsima's lab group website. We are broadly interested in plant-frugivore interactions, community ecology, conservation biology and primatology. Most of our research involve fieldwork in breath-taking rainforests in Madagascar, following lemurs and camping under the stars. Learn more about our work here.
I will join the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley as an Assistant Professor, in January 2021. I'm searching for graduate students to join the lab starting in Fall 2021. More information about the IB graduate program can be found here.
