Karen B. Strier is a Vilas Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research focuses on biological anthropology and primatology, particularly the behavioral ecology of primates. Strier has been studying the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) in Brazil's Atlantic Forest since 1982, emphasizing conservation efforts for this critically endangered species. She engages in long-term field studies to understand how stochastic demographic fluctuations and individual life histories affect population viability and behavior. Strier’s work contributes to the broader understanding of population-level variation in relation to basic research in biological anthropology.
