Emily Lomas now has a paper from her thesis in press with the journal Animal Conservation.  The title of the paper is “Persistence of Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes masks the impact of human disturbance on weight and body condition”.

Cheryl Blair just returned from the 3rd Conference of the North American Pika Consortium in Golden, Colorado, where she presented an overview of her thesis work entitled ‘Survival in a low elevation, human-modified landscape: the American Pika’.  Cheryl also was co-author on another talk led by our collaborators, Matthew Waterhouse and Mike Rusello from UBC-Okanagan (Genetic evidence for restricted dispersal in American pika across a human-modified landscape).
