Anne Daphne Yoder (born August 9, 1959 in Charlotte , North Carolina ) is an American primatologist , evolutionary biologist, and university teacher.

Career

Anne D. Yoder is a daughter of Washington Post journalist , Pulitzer Prize winner and professor Edwin Yoder . She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts in Zoology in 1981 . From 1983 to 1985 she worked as a technician at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC and in 1986 as a research curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City . In 1992, she received his Ph.D. from Duke University for Ph.D. in biology. Until 1995 she was a postdoc in the environmental biology program at Harvard University .

From 1996 to 2001, Yoder was an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago , Illinois and a zoologist at the Field Museum of Natural History . From 2001 to 2005 she was Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University and Associate Curator of Mammals at the Peabody Museum of Natural History . Yoder has been a professor in the Biology Department at Duke University since 2005. She has held the Braxton Craven Professorship for Evolutionary Biology there since 2017.

From 2006 to June 2018, Yoder was director of the Duke Lemur Center at Duke University in Raleigh , North Carolina , which under her direction has become one of the world's most important centers for lemur research . She founded the research and species protection project DLC-SAVA, which is active in the SAVA region in the far northeast of Madagascar . Yoder will resume teaching as a professor of evolutionary biology in autumn 2019 after a one-year sabbatical .

Yoder's research focuses on the Malagasy lemur fauna. In 2013 she and several colleagues published the first descriptions of Marohita mouse lemur and Anosy mouse lemur . In 2016 she was co-author of the first descriptions of Microcebus manitatra , Ganzhorns Mausmaki and Microcebus boraha .
