Sarah Westrick had her interesting encounter with a lynx while she was doing field work in the Yukon featured in Discover Magazine!
Each year members of the Kluane Red Squirrel Project meet to discuss the field season from the previous year, plans for the upcoming field season, and ongoing manuscripts and research projects. Everyone gives a presentation and gets detailed feedback from […]
We just published a new manuscript in Proceedings of the Royal Society B about how elevated stress can suppress the cooperative behavior of wild meerkats. We also show that dominant female meerkats do not elevate the cooperative behavior of the subordinates […]
