ABOUT US

Research in the Pozzi Lab centers on primate biodiversity and conservation. Our work focuses on exploring the origin of biological diversity, investigating the evolution of reproductive barriers that reduce or prevent gene flow among populations, and understanding how primates respond to human-induced environmental and climatic change. We are located in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Texas at San Antonio. ​
