Sarah Federman

I am a PhD candidate in Yale University’s department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, with a broad interest in the evolution and maintenance of tropical biodiversity. My research focuses on the development of wet-forest biomes in Madagascar, and floristic diversity, specifically that of Canarium (Burseraceae). I am particularly interested in the ways in which extinctions can structure systems, and how this knowledge can inform policy, conservation, and management. I have previously worked in marine biology research in collaboration with Alex, and am excited to continue pursuing my interest in the evolution and conservation of tropical biodiversity in the context of color and coral reefs.
