| Ripple effects: Dr.Zuleyma Tang-Martinez's legacy of support and amplification of Latin American Science in Animal Behavior Alex Trillo. |
Abstract
Over Zuleyma Tang-Martínez's many years of involvement with the Animal Behavior Society and the broader field of animal behavior, she has created a significant number of initiatives to support and amplify animal behavior research carried out in Latin America and/or by Latin American scientists — among them mentorship programs, travel awards, and international partnerships. This sustained and dedicated support has shaped the careers of many scientists and played a pivotal role in incorporating Latin American science into the Animal Behavior Society and beyond. In this talk, we highlight examples of the research and supportive programs that emerged from Zuleyma's decades of work creating, developing, and implementing these initiatives. We include direct examples, created through her research and involvement with graduate students, as well as programming developed during her long-standing involvement with the Animal Behavior Society. We pay special attention to the ripple effects that these initiatives and Zuleyma's example as a mentor and role model have sparked — both for Latin American researchers working in the US and for those based in Latin America.
