It’s the end of fall semester and we are celebrating many accomplishments in the lab!

Graduating senior Kathleen Supynuk finished her independent study on “Factors Influencing Brown-headed Cowbird Parasitism of Nesting Wood Thrushes.” She presented her project in lab meeting last week, and presented a poster for her GIS final today. This project encompassed a multiyear dataset, and Kathleen collected some of her own data in the field with us this past summer as part of her ECO Internship. Great work, Kathleen!

Senior Jodie Berezin also presented during the departmental GIS poster session this afternoon, on her project entitled “Habitat Preferences of Male African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Northern Tanzania.”  Before joining the lab, Jodie spent a semester in Tanzania collecting elephant behavioral data through the School for Field Studies. Amazing, Jodie!

More accomplishments coming soon…
