Leah K Fehringer's research focuses on the paleodiet reconstruction of extinct animal species using dental microwear analysis. Her work investigates the dietary habits of ancient primates and herbivores by examining microscopic patterns on their teeth, which reflect the foods they consumed. Fehringer has published on Neogene cercopithecoids from the Turkana Basin in Kenya, fossil Pongo from China, and the extinct Mongolian gazelle, Procapra przewalskii, from the Qinghai Lake Basin in China. Her collaborations include researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Fehringer's scholarly output includes 3 publications with an h-index of 2 and 7 total citations.
