First person – Sarah K. Lamar

Abstract

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Sarah K. Lamar is first author on ‘ Investigating the link between morphological characteristics and diet in an island population of omnivorous reptiles (Sphenodon punctatus)’, published in BiO. Sarah is a PhD candidate and personal research assistant to the Head of the School of Biological Sciences in the lab of Professor Nicola Nelson and Dr. Diane Ormsby (co-chairs) at Victoria University of Wellington. Her research interests rest at the intersection of herpetology, evolution, statistics, and conservation.
