PhD candidate Mohamed Julius Kibaja at the Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis "Behavioural ecology and conservation of Ashy red colobus monkeys (Piliocolobus tephrosceles) in western Tanzania" for the degree of PhD.

Supported by Tømtestifelsen and the Research Council of Norway.

The aim of the symposium is to help the scientific community better understand the impact of environmental (climate) change on biodiversity, by integrating insights from geological time scales (macroevolution) with our current understanding of short-term, microevolution. Open to anyone interested.
