Undergraduate IB Concentrator, Camille DeSisto (Davis Lab) spent two summers in Madagascar’s tropical forests studying invasive plant dispersal, by exploring lemur poop. The island’s lemurs eat the plant’s fruit and poop out the seeds, widely spreading the invasive strawberry guava along Madagascar’s tropical east coast threatening native plants that are unlike plants found anywhere else. Camille's research was featured in the [Harvard Gazette's profile series](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/05/harvard-grad-searches-for-knowledge-in-what-lemurs-leave-behind/) on graduates.
