Career

Maria B. Blanco comes from Argentina . She studied anthropology at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata , where she graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts . For a thesis on heterochrony , the comparative study of the facial skulls of four species of howler monkeys , she received her Master of Arts in biological anthropology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in Amherst , Massachusetts in 2004 . In 2010 she received her Ph.D. , her dissertation dealt with the reproductive biology of mouse lemurs and fat-tailed lemurs in a nature reserve in eastern Madagascar . In 2012 she received a grant from the German Research Foundation to support her research on hibernation and torpor in Madagascan lemurs .

Since 2012 works Blanco at the Duke Lemur Center of Duke University in Durham , North Carolina . She heads the research and species conservation project DLC-SAVA, which is active in the SAVA region in the far northeast of Madagascar . As part of her research, she was co-author of the first description of the three Malagasy lemurs Microcebus manitatra , Ganzhorn's mouse lemur and Microcebus boraha in 2016 .
