Shorf presents in Minneapolis, Jared & Stephanie present in Louisiana
This summer (2016), our lab travelled to the shores of the mighty Mississippi: Shorf presented a poster on his elephant conservation work at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. About a week later, Stephanie and Jared both gave oral papers on their work at the Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists in New Orleans, Louisiana. I also chipped in presentations at both conferences, including a co-authored paper with Jessica.

Small mammal trapping at Osoyoos study site – completed for summer 2015
For the fourth year in a row, we conducted a mid-summer live-trapping survey for small mammals across the Osoyoos snake study site. This year Jared Maida (sitting in the middle on the truck bumper) did a great job of organizing the gala event. As always, captures were not high in the dry desert, although one site on the side of a hill produced a fair number of pocket mice. With the trapping coinciding with the shortest nights of the year, everyone averaged about 4.5 hrs of sleep/night for three days, so a HUGE thanks to our super volunteers…
