About the Research
Dr. Sirot studied the behavior of white-faced capuchins, squirrel monkeys, and red colobus monkeys before beginning graduate school. She is now combining her interests in mosquito and monkey behavior by initiating a study of mosquito-monkey-microbe interactions at the Lomas de Barbudal Biological Reserve in Costa Rica. This research is in collaboration with Adriana Troyo Rodriguez, Susan Perry (UCLA), the director of the Lomas Barbudal Monkey Project, Diana Ortiz (Westminster College), and Larry Phelan (The Ohio State University).
