研究声明

Alisa 温克勒's research interests focus on the systematics, 古生物地理学, and paleoecology of fossil mammals, in particular rodents and rabbits. Study is concentrated on the Neogene (especially the Early Miocene-Early Pliocene) of East Africa and southeast Asia.

研究 in East Africa is primarily in conjunction with multidisciplinary teams studying major faunal accumulations, with an emphasis on recovering hominoid fossils and deciphering the ecological context in which hominoids lived and evolved. Study of the small mammals from these sites adds information on the associated faunal community. Paleoecological inferences from the small mammals aid in the reconstruction of Neogene climates, and the role climate change played in the evolution of hominids and other taxa. Comparisons of East African small mammals with taxa from other parts of Africa and Eurasia support conclusions drawn from the large mammal fauna that intra- and intercontinental dispersal was a major factor affecting community change during the Neogene.

Alisa's current projects include the study of middle Miocene rodents from Maboko Island (with B. Benefit, New Mexico State Univ.) and Bukwa (with E. Miller, Wake Forest Univ.),肯尼亚. She also continues study of rodents from Kanapoi, northern Kenya (4 Ma; with F. Manthi, National Museums of Kenya), early Miocene sites in 乌干达 and Kenya (with S. Cote, University of Calgary and L. MacLatchy, University of Michigan), and Tugen Hills sites in central Kenya (15-4 Ma). Work also progresses with the exceptional collection of the hare, Serengetilagus, from Laetoli, 坦桑尼亚 (4-3 Ma; with Y. 富田和T. 哈里森).

Alisa continues to teach 人体解剖学 to Medical and Health Professions Students as an Associate Professor with the Department of Cell Biology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
