Mike Power, PhD, Animal Scientist, Center for Species Survival, Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, Mike Power, I earned my BA in Mathematics from the University of California, San Diego and my PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. I have been conducting research at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo since 1985. I consider myself an organismal biologist. My primary subject species are primates, though I am more interested in topics/problems than in any particular taxa. I have always been fascinated by the question: “Why do animals choose to eat certain foods and not others?” My approach focuses on the internal world of the animal (anatomy, physiology, and metabolism) rather than the external world (ecology, social structure, and behavior) though I never forget that both must work in concert. I tend to focus on mammals, in large part because I am especially interested in lactation and milk composition, and the constraints and selective pressures imposed by phylogeny,…
